President's Message
I trust that all of us are safe and carrying on well as we continue to live through the modified general community quarantine that is still in force in our city.
I write this letter to inform you about the following important updates regarding the coming school year:
Opening of School
As has been announced, the official opening of school is on August 24, Monday. However, please note that we shall hold off-site classes beginning August 3 to orient the students on remote learning, establish routines, set ground rules and policies that will govern our Contextualized Blended Leaming program. These three weeks before the formal opening of classes will also be spent helping the students to be comfortable learning remotely from home, using both online and offiine resources that will allow them to study independently, and testing the technologies involved in offsite learning.
