Don't Forget!

We still have that ValEd project. In case you don't remember, we need to get an illustration board (1/2 or 1/4? Don't remember. I think it was a 1/2) and write a quote that encourages people to practice virtues, then design... This is a group project, and I don't think we were told when it was due. If you forgot your groups, then try to remember who was in the same column of seats as you.
Click here for some quotes about virtues.
NOTE: Someone ask Sir Roli about the due date.

And sadly, there is still that TechPrep paper that I really don't think anyone has worked on. I can't give any advice seeing as I wasn't in Emerald's conference, but we're just supposed to be thinking with our "creative freshmen minds" (what minds?).

English. The Secret Garden. If you're done reading it, but don't want to read it again, then feel free to drop by this lifesaving site called SPARKNOTES!
That is complete with summary, character lists, themes and symbols.
This isn't cheating. It's being resourceful, dammit!



EDIT:
I e-mailed Ma'am Paccarangan and she said I'll tell you more about the project when we come back to school. Meanwhile, just relax. :D

No more First Quarter Periodic Exams

Yet another suspension
Written by Administrator
Tuesday, 14 July 2009

We would like the community to know the reasons behind the new 2-weeks suspension of classes.

Classes were previously suspended for 3 days from July 8-10. The reason behind this is that many students were getting sick. We had 94 students who were absent the week previous to the suspension who came back and reported that the reason behind their absence is an influenza-like illness.

Of those who were present, 69 consulted the school physician complaining about influenza-like symptoms. The day before the suspension, we had as high as 11 students absent from one section alone. The average was 4-6 students per section. We could not impose the 10-day suspension for Influenza A(H1N1) then because we had no confirmed case as of July 7. We suspended classes because to decontaminate the school and allow those with influenza-like illnesses to get better.

The school learned of two confirmed Influenza A(H1N1) only this Monday, July 13, 2009. Although rumors of the first confirmed case started to float on Saturday, July 11, we had to make sure that it was not a prank by verifying actual laboratory test results.

One of the confirmed cases got sick on June 30 and was sent home. The parents brought the student to a doctor on July 3 and was diagnosed as having acute bronchitis, still they had the student take the swab test for A(H1N1). The student reported to school on July 6 and 7, and since there was a medical certificate indicating recovery from acute brochitis by their doctor, the student was admitted by the school.

The two cases were dormers. One is a third year student staying at the BRH Main and the other is a fourth year student staying at the GRH Main. Thus, if we would apply selective suspension, we would have to suspend 2 sections and 2 dormitories totalling 246 students. We therefore opted for the 2-week suspension to force everyone to stay home. Why not 10 calendar days? If we follow the 10-day suspension, classes would resume on the 24th, a Friday. In consideration of the dormers, we are instead resuming classes on July 27.

We tried to be strict by banning anyone who had Influenza-like symptoms (fever, cough and colds) from coming to class on July 13, so as not to infect others. Around 65 did not report to school because they were sick. However, at least 23 students with this symptoms reported to school. We also had students who fell ill last week but felt better over the weekend reporting to class. 12 of our teachers were also sick during the weekend.

To help alleviate the pressure we will have one grading period covering both the first and the second quarter. This means that there will be no periodic exams for the first quarter. All academic requirements given since June will be computed as part of the Second Quarter. The grade for the second quarter will also be reflected as the first quarter grade on the report card. This will allow teachers to adjust their requirements which will in turn require less time and effort from the students.

We appeal to the community to cooperate with us. The purpose of the suspension is to quarantine students in their homes. Students should not go out of their homes during the suspension. Otherwise, we will have the same problem when classes resume. We appeal to parents to monitor their children. Let your children stay home and rest. We will be calling your homes during the suspension to ensure that the students are resting.

A related article explains the school's SOP for A(H1N1) related issues. The school is being monitored by the Department of Health and the Quezon City Health Office. Should you have any questions, the administration is more than willing to answer your questions. Do not shout, or call our staff names, they are doing their best to serve the community. Please direct your comments, suggestions and questions directly to us, to avoid unnecessary speculations. You may call us at 929-1606.

Thank you for your cooperation.
