If you happen to stumble upon this site and can help share this, please do so.  If ever, it will be of great help to our students who need to participate in online classes.  During these trying times, worrying about their load should be the least of their concerns.  They have to focus on their own survival.  So if we can get telecommunication companies to help them have the resources needed to participate in their online classes, it will be our victory. Thank you!

Social Distancing

The mayor of the City of Baguio have issued Executive Order No. 60, s.2020 (An order suspending classes in the City of Baguio from 13 March 2020 to 22 March 2020 in all levels for public and private schools) yesterday.  This is in response to President Duterte's Proclamation No. 922 declaring a State of Public Health Emergency throughout the Philippines.

We are all currently encouraged to do some social distancing as a precautionary measure against COVID-19.

Because of this, I won't be able to meet my classes for several meetings.  There has been no final announcement as to whether the schedule of midterm exams will be moved or not.  But in the message we were sent late yesterday,  midterm exams will still be on March 24 to 27.  If that is the case, then my lessons and other activities will have to be uploaded for my students to access.

But I won  and I am truly happy. I won a mobile phone and since Pop’s birthday will be next week, I will give it to him as a gift.
