Year-end Preparations /Gradvation/Recognition/Moving UpPage 3 of 3 Notes and Some Considerations Should LGUs lit suspension earlier than February 3, school shall immediately mobilize school clean up. This wil increase the contact time. The modified colendar should not go beyond April 6 in view of the observance of Holy Week. Affected teaching personnel are not required to report to school during suspension but shall be entitied to their salaries as this will be offset during the implementation of modified school calendar. This means they are no longer entitled to Service Credits during Saturday classes as contained therein. On the other hand, teachers reporting to schools during suspension of classes with supporting documents may request service credits on those dates as recommended by conceied school head. Affected non-teaching personnel shall report to their SDO for possible temporary deployment in schools and offices to render needed services. Teaching and non-teaching personnel in locked down schools shall report to DO for possible deployment as support personnel/augmentation in case admitiing/receiving schools bloat class size and the need for shifting arises. Schools heads with the assistance of the SDO shall conduct consultation with Parents on the modified school calendar.
