CONTEXTUALIZED BLENDED LEARNING (CBL) PROGRAM


A Learning Continuity Plan (LCP) of Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS for the School Year 2020-2021

I. RATIONALE

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to basic education is immense that it compels schools
not just to innovate but to reinvent itself to ensure students’ continuity of learning. The ‘new
normal’ has served as a healthy challenge for Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS to look at different
scenarios and solutions to maintain the school’s core learning standards and formation goals in
the midst of crisis.

Right after the first Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) last March, we immediately
formed committees and conducted brainstorming sessions to study learning options for the next
school year. This includes a series of face-to-face and online consultations with and surveys for
the different experts and stakeholders of the school. Collaboration with other Jesuit school
educators, curriculum authorities, health and safety practitioners, and technology integration
partners were also done in the process.

The product of all this is our hybrid learning continuity plan called Contextualized Blended
Learning (CBL) Program. The Ateneo CBL program is a way of delivering learning instructions
and activities using a combination of offsite and onsite learning modalities suited to the context
of the students. Generally, it aims to maintain the standard of Ignatian formation and Jesuit
education following a “way of proceeding” that is relatively resilient against the threats of
COVID-19 and other viral infections. With its CBL A (offsite and onsite) and CBL B (offsite)
learning classes, it is designed to be flexible while sustaining students’ learning, without
compromising their health and safety, with focus on “depth” and the “non-negotiables.”
Students’ tasks and subject coverage are designed to be enough to make sure that they are not
burnt out but appropriately challenged, not harassed but fully engaged.

Appendices A to L elaborate more our CBL Program. For further details, kindly visit our school
website at www.adi.edu.ph, FB page @AteneodeIloiloSMCS, and YouTube Channel at ADI –
SMCS Official.

Meanwhile, following the directive of the Department of Education (DepEd), in response to the
mandate of the Department of Health (DOH) and the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on
Emerging Infection Diseases, we have decided to offer Full Offsite (CBL B) classes for all our

Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
5

students in the first trimesters/semester of the school year. The school will transition into its
actual CBL plan should the said government agencies give the green light to do so.

In the final analysis, Ateneo’s CBL is the school’s bold way of accepting the challenge of
creating safe learning experiences in the ‘new normal.’ it is a testament of our desire, passion and
commitment to go the distance and continue to form leaders who pursue excellence that is
ignited by love and service.
II. SCHOOL SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

A. ENROLLMENT FOR SY 2020-2021 BASED ON EARLY REGISTRATION


BY GRADE LEVEL

As of August 7, our enrollment of 2,050 students has reached 100.00% of the total reservations
and is 96.15% if compared to last school year’s population of 2,132 students. Please see the
enrollment matrix below:
Grade Level No. of Students Grade Level No. of Students
Prep 18 Grade 6 139
Kinder 45 Grade 7 183
Grade 1 117 Grade 8 210
Grade 2 139 Grade 9 207
Grade 3 120 Grade 10 197
Grade 4 126 Grade 11 225
Grade 5 121 Grade 12 203
Grand Total 2,050
From our survey, some of our students opted to do homeschooling, “rest” for the school year,
and enroll in a school in their country or near their province, or town. We have a decent increase
of transferees this year at 12% (250 of 2,s050). We started our online enrollment on May 25 and
onsite enrollment on June 2. Our official last day of enrollment was July 3, 2020 but we are still
accepting enrollees for as long as they fulfill the necessary documents and other requirements for
enrollment.

B. NUMBER OF CLASSES TO BE ORGANIZED CONSIDERING SOCIAL


DISTANCING BY GRADE LEVEL/ BY OFFERING

In the Full Offsite (CBL B) Classes mode, the following are the number of classes per grade

* Teachers shall be given exclusive teaching/learning Stations with their own computer set,
IPads, extension cord, tables, and chairs provided by the school. The area is situated in a
classroom and is designed following strict health protocol. It has a working wireless fidelity
access point (AP) with enough bandwidth for Teacher-Facilitated (TF) instruction.
** Most of the data are conservatively approximated based on the series of class simulations,
inventories, and surveys held in the past months.

In case of an Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) situation, 85% of the teachers have the
capability (with good or excellent DSL/Fiber connectivity and gadgets) of holding TF classes
and online consultations with students (a.k.a. Independent-Learning sessions) at home. The rest
can still manage to do online classes at home but need some level of assistance along the way.
With this, the school plans to offer its boarding house with free wifi connection in the old Santa
Maria Catholic School (SMCS) building in General Blanco Street for the rest of the teachers
with poor to fair connectivity. The school also offers help to them in terms of getting
connectivity from PLDT and Globe in case they wish to. It also encourages “wifi-pooling
among” teachers in their own areas. All these teachers are capable to use pre-paid internet line
for their connectivity. This hopes to ensure 100% instructional service even during lockdowns.

E. NUMBER OF CLASSROOMS AND ANCILLARY STRUCTURES

As of the moment, we have the following learning and formation areas:

Note: All classrooms are air-conditioned and multi-media ready. Offices, stock rooms, canteens,
pantries, and rest rooms are not included here. Learning/teaching stations are to be installed in
the select classrooms this school year to be exclusively used by the teachers in their online
classes. Each station has its own personal computer, IPad, extension wire, automatic voltage
regulator, ergonomic chair, and three (3) tables for online classes.

F. AVAILABLE MODULES AND LEARNING MATERIALS

Under the CBL Program, the school will be using the following Learning Management System
(LMS) and Video Conferencing Application (VCA) in its Full Offsite Teacher-Facilitated
Classes:
Grade Level Learning Management System Video Conferencing Application
Prep-Grade 4 Seesaw Zoom
Grades 5-10 Google Classroom Webex and Zoom

All modules, power point presentations, supplementary learning materials, and reference links of
all subjects from Prep-Grade 12 shall be sent online via the LMS of each class for free. This
includes pre-recorded videos of teachers that they deem necessary to augment the instruction.

For extreme cases, e.g. select Ateneo scholars and students with difficult connectivity at home,
printed modules or learning packets shall be given to them through drop-off points. Few subjects
also opted to require textbooks this school year. Some others decided to use online applications
such as Cerebry (Artificial Intelligence or AI Application in Mathematics), MyOn (Reading
Comprehension), Britannica Online, and PressReader (Media Resources). Most subject areas
opted to maximize the available free applications in the net.

CBL Version 2.0: Second CBL version where students are given the option to either choose
CBL A (offsite and onsite classes) or CBL B (offsite classes). In both modalities, students are to take their
summative assessments onsite. This is still considered to be adopted as soon as students are allowed by
IATF and DepEd to go out from their homes and attend onsite (face-to-face) classes.

From Helping K-12 Schools Transition to Post-COVID 19 Times by Dr. Ani Rosa Almario and Mr.
Reagan Austria.

Blended learning is similar to the hybrid set up such that it requires gathering the class, in a physical or
virtual school, and maintaining a supervised learning environment via an online platform. Blended
learning, as a pedagogical approach, can be distinguished from remote learning by looking at its different
models. The Clayton Christensen Institute, through its website, the Blended Learning Universe
(www.blendedlearning.org), has identified three key elements in a blended learning class:
• Students learn in part, online, with some element of control over time, place, path, or pace;
• Students learn in part, in a brick and mortar location away from home (such as the school);
• Students learn along a learning path that leads to an integrated learning experience.
The Clayton Christensen Institute describes the following blended learning models. The characteristics of
each model may be helpful in designing remote learning environments during and even after the enhanced
community quarantine (ECQ) situation.

a. Station rotation
• Students engage themselves in different learning stations inside the classroom, in a fixed schedule.
At least one of the stations should involve an online activity.
• This may not be applicable during ECQ as this blended learning model requires students and teachers to
be in a physical classroom.

b. Lab rotation
• The students go through different “learning rooms,” following a fixed schedule. One of the learning
rooms is an online station that is usually the computer laboratory.
• This may not be applicable during ECQ as this blended learning model requires students and
teachers to be in a physical campus.

c. Individual rotation
• Each student is given a “playlist” of tasks that have to be accomplished in each subject area.
Students are given individual schedules by the teacher to rotate through different learning stations
on the campus. Their main classroom becomes the “central learning lab”.
• This may not be applicable during ECQ as this blended learning model requires students and
teachers to be in a physical campus.

d. Flipped classroom
• Students in this set up work on assigned readings, watch video clips, listen to audio recordings and
podcasts, and do other coursework similar to listening to lectures, at home. Class time, in school,
is devoted to working on teacher-guided tasks to enrich their learning experience.
• During ECQ, in a remote learning set up, “class time” may refer to synchronous class meetings to
explain instructions, discuss clarifications, and exchange feedback about the assigned coursework.

e. A la carte model
• Students in an a la carte model take online classes with an online teacher, as an option, apart from
the face-to-face (in-person) classes that they attend in school. This facilitates flexibility in the
students’ schedules especially when taking elective classes in high school.
• A la carte classes (electives) may also be offered during ECQ, in a remote learning set up, in addition
to the students’ core subject areas. This model is more applicable in high school.

f. Flex model
• Students work on their course curriculum on fluid schedules. They attend classes depending on
their needs. Teachers are available for consultation and they conduct small group sessions on flexible

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
17

schedules as well. Different learning spaces are provided on campus such as a collaboration room,
breakout rooms, social area, and science labs, but the backbone of this set up is online learning.
• Flex model may be applicable only to senior high school students. Virtual collaboration rooms,
discussion rooms, and social areas may be created and supervised through online platforms.

g. Enriched virtual
• This is the closest model to remote learning set up wherein students accomplish their coursework
online, off-campus, and attend required face-to-face classes with the teacher in the physical school.
• Similar to the modified hybrid class, during ECQ, online class meetings can be scheduled and
conducted using various online tools.

Appendix C. The Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP)


Most teachers want students to leave their classes with more than just a heap of information; ideally the
student has also been transformed in some way, has become more complex in thought and intention, has
an understanding of the significance of what’s been learned, and has made some progress on a larger life
path. As a Jesuit institution, Jesuit schools embrace these possibilities, all of which can be traced to the
practice of Ignatian Pedagogy.

Ignatian Pedagogy is rooted in Spiritual Exercises devised in the 16th century by St. Ignatius of Loyola,
the founder of the Society of Jesus, a community also known as the Jesuits. These exercises called for a
cycle of experience, reflection, and action to help an individual uncover truth, grow closer to God, and
take steps toward bettering the world. Although St. Ignatius did not create the exercises with an intention
of founding schools, his approach to pursuing truth has long been applied in Jesuit education in a form
known as the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm. The idea in this paradigm is not to limit this kind of
learning to special “Ignatian courses” but to consider the possibility that it might be relevant across a wide
range of disciplines and classes.

The Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm is founded on the belief that education has to go beyond the mere
transmission of information from professor to student. More than an exercise in memorization or a purely
cognitive transaction, education is meant to be a transformational experience that affects the students on
all levels—cognitive, certainly, but also emotional and behavioral. The student who has been through this
kind of experience will have had old ideas unsettled in the service of developing a fuller understanding of
self and the world, and in service of helping that world.

The process operates through a cycle,


which, in its simplest form, works like
this:

1. Ignatian pedagogy begins with


context; if the teaching experience
is going to be productive, the
teacher needs to let that
experience be shaped and driven
by the individuality and
complexity of the learners, taking
into account their background,
skills, goals, and anything else
that might be relevant.

2. The next step is experience;


whether students are
doing community-based
learning or completing a math
problem set or analyzing a text,
Figure 3: Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP)
they are meant to do more than
absorb the facts surrounding what’s in front of them; they are meant to engage the material in a
way that fully involves them. This means both cognitive and emotional involvement; personal
investment; societal engagement; and behavioral investment. In this paradigm, the process of
learning is as important as the content of learning, or perhaps even more so.

3. The process continues when the experience ends, as the student engages in a process of
reflection on the experiences and all the reactions it caused, again across a range of involvement:
cognitive and emotional (what is this and how do I feel about it?); personal (what does this mean
to me?); societal (what does this mean to the world?); and behavioral (what does this tell me
about what I should do?). This is an opportunity for deeper meaning to arise, and for the student
to see which reactions were fleeting and which ones endure.

4. This is not reflection solely for reflection’s sake, however; the introspection is meant to lead to
action. This “action” can involve choices about a variety of domains: the learning experience
itself (e.g., picking an essay topic, taking on a certain issue to study further, etc.), the student’s
personal life (e.g., implementing a solution for a personal problem, taking up an extracurricular
activity, etc.), the student’s professional future (e.g., signing up for a related class, applying for a
particular internship, seeking out information about one career or another, etc.), and, ideally—this
is crucial in Ignatian pedagogy—the larger world. Specifically, it is hoped that real education will
lead the student to take actions, large and small, to make the world a better place for all, and
particularly those most in need.

5. Because this is a complex process, we can’t just assume that it’s clicking along productively—not
without taking the time to thoughtfully evaluate the learning. In what ways has the student
grown? What changes are happening? Where is the student stuck? The teacher is certainly in a
good position to do much of this evaluation, but the student, increasingly expert at reflection, may
be as well.

None of the actions taken in this paradigm have to be permanent commitments, and none of the
conclusions will be immutable. Indeed, each choice will of course produce an experience of its own—
positive, negative, or (probably) more complicated—and after action the student is meant to seek out yet
more experiences, which will in turn provoke reflection and further action, and so on, in an ongoing cycle
of growth.

And it’s important to emphasize that the teacher has a crucial role in the process, getting to know
students, calling on students to dive into the experience, to reflect, to take action; giving them
opportunities to do all three, and modeling a serious engagement with the exercises.

Appendix E: Definition of Terms


Asynchronous Activity – refers to any activity, designed by the teachers, that may be done by the student
at different times but still within the given parameters. This allows for flexibility in terms of the learning
piece of students, availability of gadgets (if shared with other people), studying/working time (if a student
needs to be assisted by parents who have their own busy schedules), strength of available internet
connection, etc. Asynchronous learning may also refer to independent work provided by the teacher to be
done possibly within a learning book, audio-video kinks, or digital apps. This also includes LMS
engagements that are unscheduled.

Blended Learning – refers to a hybrid set up such that it requires gathering the class, in a physical or
virtual school, and maintaining a supervised learning environment via an online and other digital
platform. Please see Appendix B: Types of Blended Learning for more details.

Consultation Time – refers to the scheduled time during offsite (independent-learning) days where
teachers are required to be available for any academic consultation online through the Learning
Management System (LMS) Seesaw for K-4. Google Classroom for Grade 5-10, and Microsoft Teams for
Grades 11-12. Teachers may also be contacted by students through their respective *adi.edu.ph email
account, if needed. No other online LMS shall be used for consultation unless allowed by the school. For
security reasons, Facebook or any social media platform will not be allowed to be used for any official
class consultations. Each subject area coordinator is tasked to monitor the consultation periods under
his/her academic program.

Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program – refers to a hybrid learning continuity plan of
Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS for the School Year 2020-2021 in response to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis.
It is a combination of offsite learning and onsite learning. Originally, students are given two choices:
CBL A, having both offsite and onsite classes, and CBL B, having full offsite classes but will be
attending a scheduled and live-streamed/pre-recorded classes. Both require students to take summative
assessments onsite.
Early this school year, however, the school has decided to adopt Full Offsite (CBL B) classes, where even
assessments are done online. The details of which are elaborated in Appendix J: learning Continuity Plan.
Note that the school will transition to the old version as soon ad IATF and DepEd will allow students to
do face-to-face classes.
CBL was crafted through face-to-face and online consultations with and surveys for the different experts
and stakeholders of the school. Collaboration with other Jesuit school educators, curriculum authorities,
medical, safety and policy experts, and technology integration partners were also done in the process. See
CBL explained in video form in the school’s official FB page, YouTube Channel, and website.

Health Check – refers to the daily health check by the school personnel to students reporting (onsite or
offsite) to school. This also refers to either an individual or small group session by the class advisers,

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
22

guidance counselor, mentor, with students. The health that is being checked here covers not just the
physiological health, but also the psycho-emotional and psycho-social well being of the student/s.
Deliberate Health Check in face-to-face classes is done by the first subject teacher of each class day.

Independent-Learning (IL) Sessions – refers to asynchronous or synchronous sessions held at home or


outside the school that are student-initiated and parent-supervised. It can be holding, doing, and watching
one-on-one consultations, formative and summative assessments, worksheets, assignments, exercises,
research work, watching of pre-recorded videos, modules, video links, podcasts, thought and actual home
experimentations, book or ebook readings, webinars, app activities, advance learning, etc. Learning
materials of teachers are also uploaded in the LMS so students can retrieve it for their IL sessions.

Mindfulness Session – refers to the prayer done before the start of the first period class. It is a daily
reflection, prayer, and/or examen on one’s thoughts, actions, and motivations. It is a purposeful self-
examination, steeped in Jesuit spirituality, that leads one to be more self-aware, and to be more conscious
of the presence of God in one’s daily life. It can help one become a better person by changing bad habits
and transforming personal world views and paradigms. It can also be understood as mindfulness exercise,
but with the content of developing self-awareness.

Offsite Learning – refers to a teaching and learning process where the teacher delivers instruction from
afar, but not necessarily with the use of online resources or tools. Aside from online learning, the delivery
of instruction may also be via text, audio, and video recordings/files saved in thumb drives, textbooks/
teacher’s manuals and slide presentations, or Google drives, radio, television, online/remote
apps/software, and other printed packages such as worksheets, reading materials, guides, textual and book
readings, links, etc. The teacher supervises the learning of students using the school’s Gmail platform and
a Learning Management System (LMS)—Seesaw for Prep-Grade 4, Google Classroom for Grades 5-10,
and Microsoft Teams for Grades 11-12 (SHS)—through regular consultation time and virtual classes.
Here, students can view and download related discussion slides, activities, and worksheets. There may
also be a scheduled live-streamed/pre-recorded class for students under CBL B (and those who, for
whatever reasonable cause, happens to be absent in the face-to-face in CBL A) to watch. Note that other
pre-set asynchronous or, if doable and needed, synchronous classes may be also set within the learning
hours in the offsite days.

Offsite Days – refers to the days where students are doing learning tasks remotely at home or outside the
school premises. Here, consultation happens using Seesaw for Prep-Grade 4, Google Classroom for
Grades 5-10, and Microsoft Teams for Grades 11-12 (SHS). Virtual classes may also happen within these
days under the discretion of the subject teacher with the permission from the SAC.

Online Learning – a.k.a. e-leaning or virtual learning, refers to teaching and learning that relies on the
use of online resources regardless of the distance between the teacher and the students. A teacher may
employ online learning, synchronous or asynchronous, even if both are in the same venue. This is one of
the many options that our CBL offers in school depending on the need and subject/teacher’s preference.

Onsite Days – refers to the days where CBL A students are to report to school for onsite face-to-face
instruction. It is also on these days that the CBL B students are required to “attend” the regularly
scheduled live-streamed/pre-recorded classes to supplement their learning experience. A CBL A student
who happens to be absent due to health reasons, may also prefer to “attend” the same scheduled live-
stream/pre-recorded classes with expressed consent from the subject teacher concerned.

Onsite Learning – refers to the supplementary face-to-face classes where students are to report onsite to
attend actual classes in all the subjects offered by the school. Following safety and health protocols, the
students are to meet their teachers who will facilitate the teaching-learning process with them. They may

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
23

physically clarify, inquire, or consult concepts or assignments (1) during class discussions and onsite
presentations, (2) given to them in class or in their textbooks/manuals or (3) from their offsite learning
assignments or tasks. Printed materials may also be given to them for their real-time drills to be closely
supervised by the teacher. Hands-on individualized laboratory activities, if deemed pedagogically
essential and safe, will also be done by students, with the supervision of the teacher and a laboratory
specialist, in school. CBL A modality offers this additional kind of learning option on top of offsite
learning.

Special and Formation (SF) Sessions – refers to synchronous or asynchronous sessions held at home or
outside the school that are either student-initiated, teacher-facilitated, or parent-supervised. It can be
holding/doing/watching masses and religious rites, psycho-educational activities, special tutorials or
trainings, mentoring sessions, remediation, reinforcements, enhancement activities,
club/class/batch/unit/institutional meetings, webinars, special classes, and sessions initiated by the offices
of Guidance and Testing, Campus Ministry and Social Involvement (CMSI), Discipline, and Student
Development Office (SDO).

Synchronous Activity – refers to any activity that is scheduled to happen at an exact time and in a virtual
place (using video/web conferencing applications such as Zoom for Prep-Grade 4, Webex for Grades 5-
10, and MS Meets for Grades 11 and 12) that has been agreed upon or announced earlier. This may be
used for academic instruction where the teachers facilitate a class in real time to explain concepts or
demonstrate skills. It may also be used for the purpose of ensuring student well-being through real time
peer-to-peer interactions among other things.

Teacher-Facilitated (TF) Classes – refers to synchronous, interactive sessions held online that are
facilitated and supervised by the teacher using video/web conferencing applications such as Zoom for
Prep-Grade 4, Webex for Grades 5-10, and MS Meets for Grades 11 and 12. These are virtual classes,
following the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm, that are deemed to be value-focused and action driven,
following the newly designed curriculum per subject. In these sessions, the student is expected to be at
home while the teacher may either be in school or at home depending on the circumstances.

Virtual Classes – refers to student-teacher engagement done in the Learning Management System
(Seesaw for Prep to Grade 4 and Google Classroom for Grade 6-12) managed by the subject teachers
during offsite days. Here, the teacher supervises the learning of students in the virtual classroom through
regular consultation time, asynchronous and synchronous classes. In this platform, students can also pass
their deliverables, get performance feedback, and view, explore, and download teacher’s slide
presentations, learning resources like video clips, articles, activities, worksheets, links, tasks, and digital
references. Parents may also gain access in the LMS upon request. Furthermore, each subject area
coordinator and select formator shall shall be asked to co-teach in each virtual classroom for monitoring
purposes.

Appendix F: Frequently Asked Questions


1. What is Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS’ Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL)?
The school’s Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program is a hybrid learning continuity plan of
Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS for the School Year 2020-2021 in response to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis.
It is a combination of offsite learning and onsite learning. Originally, students are given two choices:
CBL A, having both offsite and onsite classes, and CBL B, having full offsite classes but will be
attending a scheduled and live-streamed/pre-recorded classes. Both require students to take summative
assessments onsite. Early this school year, however, the school has decided to adopt Full Offsite (CBL B)
classes, where even assessments are done online. The details of which are elaborated in Appendix J:
learning Continuity Plan. Note that the school will transition to the old version as soon ad IATF and
DepEd will allow students to do face-to-face classes. CBL was crafted through face-to-face and online
consultations with and surveys for the different experts and stakeholders of the school. Collaboration with
other Jesuit school educators, curriculum authorities, medical, safety and policy experts, and technology
integration partners were also done in the process. See CBL explained in video, ppt, and text forms in the
school’s official FB page (@AteneodeIloiloSMCS), YouTube Channel (ADI – SMCS Official), and
website (www.adi.edu.ph).

2. What is the difference between Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) and


Homeschooling?
Homeschooling is a type of instruction where the parent or adult at home receives some training to
become a teacher to the child being home-schooled. The institution provides the framework and
curriculum, but the adult at home is the teacher. Ateneo does not offer a homeschooling option.
In the CBL, our teachers will continue to serve as teachers of the students, albeit from a distance in offsite
learning, and, if allowed, in scheduled face-to-face classes in onsite learning. Teachers will explain,
demonstrate, and illustrate whatever needs to be learned by the students and assess understanding and
mastery online/offsite (formative) and, if allowed, face-to-scheduled face examinations (summative).
However, given the limited capabilities of younger students, adult supervision will be necessary in terms
of helping the student with operating the device (initially), maintaining attention, understanding

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
25

instructions, etc. In short, the adult at home serves more as a manager/supervisor of learning than a
teacher.

3. Why is there a reduction only in Miscellaneous and Other Fees and not in the Tuition?
For the first time in the history of the school, the school’s Board of Trustees has approved a zero tuition
fee increase for this school year. Note that about 80% of tuition income is spent on salaries and benefits
of teachers and other employees. The 20% spent on overhead will still be used for the same purpose
because the campus has to be maintained, the teachers need to be trained, technology in school must be
further updated, bills for utilities and annual fees paid. Teachers will still be based in school at a
contextually-designed time schedule while delivering offsite and onsite-offsite education. They are also
expected to do more preparations and updating to adjust to the CBL modalities. If the situation becomes
better in the latter part of the school year, the school must also be ready for traditional or CBL face-to-
face classes and laboratory activities. Note that the pre-COVID plan is supposed to be somewhere at 4%
increase in tuition. It is worthy to stress that the 10%-30% decrease this school year in miscellaneous fees
is another first. This is set even if the school is gearing towards spending much to enhance our internet
connectivity and technical facilities for better CBL service to students. Essentially, the textbook cost is
also reduced to an average of 50% as some subjects opt to the use of modules and other cheaper and more
virtual learning materials.

4. Because of the uncertainties, can there be friendlier payment options?


Tuition and fees may be paid by trimester for GS and JHS, by quarter for SHS, or, in a manner that the
parent/guardian and the school treasurer specially agree upon due to special humanitarian considerations.
Down payment for enrollment is PhP15,000.00 assuming that one does not have any back accounts. Due
to the crisis, enrolment was also adjusted from three grade levels a day, to one grade level a day, starting
June 2 (see Table 8. Enrollment Schedules). Penalty for late enrollment is also waived by the school. The
usual 5%-discount for full payment (in cash) will still be in effect. Meanwhile, if all enrolled in the same
school year, a family discount of 10% for the third child, 12% for the fourth child, and 15% for the
succeeding children is still in place. Online payment may be done through Metrobank (Account Name:
Ateneo de Iloilo; Account Number: 4997499503543; Swift Code: MBTCPHMM) and BDO (Account
Name: Ateneo de Iloilo; Account Number: 000710564899). Online enrolment may also be an option
(Please see Figure 2. Online Enrollment Procedures). Note that enrollment is a commitment to stay in the
school for the whole year. Thus the rule has always been that those who pull out after ten class days still
have to pay the annual fees. Furthermore, the school has again extended the last day of enrollment
(without penalty) from June 23 to July 3. Thereafter, the slot of old students who decided not to enroll
shall be given to interested new applicants who passed the admission test as institutionally required.

5. What if there is no one in the family who can assist our young children during their classes
or with school work?
Grade school students have always had adult supervision inside the classroom. Now that the “new
normal” makes this unfeasible, the trusted adult at home has to step up to the role of supervising younger
students with their education. Nevertheless, with the consistent implementation of routines and skills
throughout the school year, the students are expected to be more independent as the months go by. We
expect that high school students can manage on their own with minimal supervision. CBL orientation and
training for both students and parents shall also be done to this effect.

6. What if we have more than one child enrolled in school? How do we manage the sharing or
the use of gadgets during online classes or consultation?
Ideally, each child should have a gadget for educational purposes. It will be hard to get them to share a
gadget because, inevitably, there will be an overlap in the times they need to be online. We have
scheduled GS and JHS/SHS to be scheduled alternately to minimize this to happen though.

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
26

The school understands that it may be financially challenging to purchase several gadgets for families
with two or more children studying in Ateneo. It is in this light that provisions for the use of gadgets for
offsite classes are offered in school following set criteria and protocol. Note also that there are many
devices that may be used to accomplish school work (see Table 11. Recommended Device
Specifications). Offsite learning is also designed such that online classes are balanced with non-virtual,
remote tasks and activities.

7. Will physical books and other supplies still be required for offsite learning?
This varies across grade levels. Some textbooks and supplies will still be required and these are listed in
the course outline that students are to receive before the start of regular classes. Many teachers have opted
to use online links, apps, modules (printed and soft copy) and/or worksheets to minimize cost, to cut
“carbon footprint” and to contextualize the learning materials/experience. With this we can say that there
is a decrease of roughly 50% in the use of the traditional textbooks for the year.

8. What if we have limited connectivity or unstable connection at home?


This really is acknowledged most especially in the context of internet connectivity and power reliability
in the country. Students who have limited gadgets or internet connectivity at home may opt to work
asynchronously at times. This may also be an option for those whose gadgets need to be shared.
Provisions for the use of gadget and internet connectivity is offered in school following a set criteria and
protocol. The school is also communicating with tech and telco companies to look for ways to help
students and parents get a more affordable deal in terms of internet connection or purchase of gadget.
Note that offsite learning for both CBL A and CBL B does not only include online classes, but also
delivery of instruction via text, audio, and video recordings/files saved in thumb drives, textbooks/
teacher’s manuals and slide presentations, radio, television, remote apps/software, and other printed
packages such as worksheets, reading materials, guides, textual and book readings, links, etc.

9. Will attendance be checked?


Attendance and punctuality during face-to-face (if allowed by government) class, online consultations,
and engagements in the use of the Learning Management System (Seesaw for Prep to Grade 4, Google
Classroom for Grades 5-10, and Microsoft Teams for Grades 11-12) will be checked and monitored
physically and digitally by the teachers. A digital or remote system shall also be designed to further
monitor online attendance. Supervision of parents and guardians are highly sought after during students’
regular and scheduled live-streaming/pre-recorded sessions and during the conduct of their independent-
learning (IL) or activity/tasks. Another monitoring platform is our email system. Constant feed-backing of
outputs and calling of Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTCs) are also ways to ensure authentic and regular
engagements of students. The school will also adopt formation strategies to train students to become more
responsible and independent learners. This and more will be the things that the school will do to ensure
not just students’ attendance but, more importantly, their active participation in the learning process.

10. Is it possible for the school to schedule my children in just onsite class?
As much as possible, siblings shall attend the same schedule of classes. This will be easy if your children
are all enrolled in one unit (GS or JHS/SHS). This way, the school can assign the schedule of sub-classes
for them to be in just one half day sessions. For other specific concerns on scheduling, kindly address this
to the School Principal for special remedies, if deemed necessary.

11. What support can parents expect from Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCs to be of best help to their
children?
Grade School:
For parents of Prep to Grade 4, orientation and training sessions on the apps, requirements, and routines
to be used and adopted will be scheduled this late July to help them navigate their child’s offsite and
onsite needs.

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
27

For all Grade School levels, parents can also expect the following:
 weekly schedule of activities and academic work to be completed.
 orientation and training on the Learning Management System (LMS) Seesaw (Prep-Grade 4) or
Google Classroom (Grades 5-6)
 parenting sessions to be done by the Guidance and Testing Office
Class advisers and subject teachers will be available for consultation, feedback, and queries via email, and
via fixed consultation hours within and only within work hours and days respecting the personal
boundaries of all parties. Parent-Teacher Conference (PTC) may also be called upon appointment with the
teacher concerned through the Administration Office.
High School:
For the high school parents, the parents’ orientation and training will include a walk-through of the
school’s Learning Management System or LMS (Google Classroom for Grades 5-10 and Microsoft
Teams for Grades 11-12), and Video Conferencing Applications or VCA (Zoom for Grades 5-6, Webex
for Grades 7-10, and MS Meets for Grades 11 and 12) so parents can familiarize themselves with school
work flow during CBL’s offsite and/or onsite, TF/IL modalities. Teachers will also share their course
outlines and calendar of assessments via LMS to help the parents monitor their children’s requirements.
Teachers will be available for consultation during IL sessions. Parent Teacher Conference (PTC) may
also be called upon appointment with the teacher concerned through the Administration Office. Note that
PTC may also be called by the class advisers, subject teacher, and/or formator upon appointment with the
parent/guardian concerned should the need arises.

12. Will the school still be offering Learning Support to students who need extra assistance?
The school will still have its Learning Support Program (LSP) where students, through appropriate
diagnostics, will be invited to be mentored and given scheduled remediation by an assigned teacher. This
mentoring service will be offered for free and will be initiated by the school through its English and
Mathematics programs. Research advisers will also be assigned to all research groups in Grades 9-12 to
guide them with their research work. Furthermore, advanced classes for select students in mathematics
shall also be offered in Junior High School. All students are also encouraged to consult with their teachers
upon appointment. This can be done on or before face-to-face (if allowed) sessions or during the
consultation time during offsite/IL days. All these services are free of change.
Generally, the school does not encourage tutorial sessions in any levels. However, for those who are truly
in need due to failing grades, tutorial sessions are regulated and allowed only as recommended by the
subject teacher, in concurrence with the subject area coordinator (SAC) concerned, following the school’s
Tutorial Policy. Through a Tutorial Agreement (Form 4014), the student (with the consent of the parent)
agree to attend scheduled tutorial sessions in school or online with an assigned teacher. This will require
additional fees.

13. Will there still be a Bridging Program in Chinese and College Entrance Test review
for Grade 12?
Yes. The Chinese Bridging Program will have this August before the start of the formal classes.
It is most specifically designed for our incoming Grades 1 and 7, for our new students from
different other levels, and for our few students who were assessed by their Chinese teachers
having a need of remediation. Meanwhile, the Ateneo Training on Test Readiness for Admission
to College (ATTRAC), shall start in September. Announcement of the details of which shall
follow soon. All other trainings and programs set for the Integrated Summer Program (ISP) 2020
were all cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation.

14. Do you still accept student-applicants?

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
28

We are already done with our enrollment process and sectioning this August. However, for special
appeals may be done through the Office of the Principal, if deemed necessary and reasonable. For more
admission inquiries, kindly email info@adi.edu.ph for instructions, and contact our school
psychometricians at mcdong@adi.edu.ph and mnabion@adi.edu.ph for more details.

15. What will happen if the COVID-19 Second Major Wave or Enhanced Community
Quarantine (ECQ) or similar crisis strikes?
The good thing with the CBL Program is that it is flexible. If worst happens, the school can still go full
offsite/online at once; just like what we will adopt in the first trimester/semester of the school year. In
worst quarantine conditions, our teachers can still continue to hold virtual classes at the comforts of their
homes just like their students following the regular schedule.

16. How will the face-to-face assessments be conducted?


If allowed by IATF probably in the latter months of the school year, we shall hold onsite summative
exams and assessments in small groups following all the appropriate health and safety protocols. It shall
be scheduled in such a way that traffic is controlled and the validity/reliability of the assessment tool is
protected. Exams, for one, shall be stretched to as much as five (5) full days per trimester/midterms/finals
to make sure that everyone is spread out and the testing areas are disinfected well. Onsite summative
assessments are also reduced into 2-3 tests per trimester/semester. Of course, if the government will
require classes to be full offsite like in our first semester/semester, all assessments, both summative and
formative, shall be done full offsite and/or online as required.

17. What is the process of coming in and out from school?


During moments when onsite classes are already allowed, the school will adopt a scheme that students
shall be thoroughly checked as they enter the school by our health compliance officers. They are to go
directly to their classrooms and not allowed anymore to loiter around the campus. During the dismissal,
students shall go down using their assigned ramp and the stairs one class after another. As usual, no one is
allowed to stay in school for the rooms will immediately be disinfected every after dismissal. There will
be compliance officers who will roam around the campus to ensure that everyone follows all the school
protocol and avoid physical distancing among each other, even inside the rest rooms, libraries, and
laboratories.

18. Why can’t real-time live-streaming/pre-recorded/virtual/TF classes of teachers be recorded


and shared to and by students?
This has to do with many and complex and sensitive reasons. Although it is recognized how expedient
recorded lessons may be, such has potentially damaging implications in terms of child protection,
(individual, collective, and data) privacy, and intellectual property rights of the students, the teachers, and
the school. There is also a psychological need for students to experience a sense of normality and
discipline in “attending” scheduled live-streaming/pre-recorded/TF classes following a regular schedule.
Besides, should students miss live-stream/pre-recorded/virtual/TF classes at home for whatever reason,
he/she has the option to use the regular consultation time to engage with the teacher via LMS and seek
explanation, review, or clarification with the missed class. These live-stream/pre-recorded/virtual/TF
classes and even the onsite face-to-face (if allowed by IATF) classes are considered supplementary
experiences for the students learning process. The hope would still be that all, especially those in the
higher grade levels, would eventually become independent learners with the teachers and parents as
“sages at the side” and facilitators of learning. Nonetheless, the school is currently looking for ways to
polish this part of the program (especially in the grade school) to make it work more efficiently for all
parties. It is worthy to note that recording of live-steam/pre-recorded/virtual/TF classes without the
permission of the school, the student/s, and the teacher concerned is considered a grave school offense.

19. Will the air-conditioners be used during future face-to-face classes?

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
29

Yes, but only for extremely humid cases. As part of our safety and healthy measures, the school will open
its windows and doors to freely allow the flow of air in the room. To ensure ventilation, the four ceiling
fans in the room and the “big-ass” industrial fans in the quadrangle (if necessary) shall be turned on
during class periods.

20. How will physical distancing be ensured for future face-to-face classes?
Considering the results of the recent survey of the school, it is expected that much less than half or even
just a quarter (about 10-15) of the class population are to be assigned in a face-to-face class period,
following the rule on physical distancing. With this, a 72-m2 (9m x 8m) classroom, assures a 6-feet or 2-
meter distance between and among students.

21. Are the reservation fees and enrollment down payment refundable?
Reservation fees are not refundable as stipulated in the letters sent to students and the Entrance Test
passers. Down payment for enrollment, on the other hand, are subject to our policy on withdrawal.
Special concerns regarding this may be directly addressed to the school treasurer at macyap@adi.edu.ph.

22. Why are you not planning to do full online classes for the whole school year?
Firstly, there is no substitute to face-to-face classes. Hence, for as long as it is already considered by
IATF to be safe and healthy, the school will move to full onsite at once. Secondly, full online learning has
its own philosophy and methods that therefore require a particular mindset and skill set which we cannot
claim that we have mastered already. At the moment, the school believes that offering a blended learning
which presupposes a mix of traditional face-to-face encounter with students onsite, and online/virtual
learning activities offsite, will be more advantageous to the learner. Moreover, pure online learning
requires an infrastructure that allows uninterrupted electric power source and internet access with a large
bandwidth which, unfortunately, not all students enjoy. It also demands much more responsibilities on
supervision from the end of the parents and guardians. We are currently adopting the full online class
since this is the most that we can do for the moment considering IATF regulations. We hope to transition
into blended onsite-offsite learning in the latter part of the school year if allowed by government.

23. Will there be scholarships still?


Yes. The school will still continue its Entrance Scholarship, Ignatian Scholarship, Academic Scholarship,
Faculty and Staff Discount, and Jaime V. Ongpin (JVO) Scholarship Grant as discussed in the Student
Handbook (See Appendix D. Student Handbook, pp54-55). We currently have more than 160 scholars in
school. That is on top of the government’s Educational Service Contracting (ESC) and SHS Voucher
Program which has almost 1,000 grantees.

24. What happens to teachers and staff who are residing outside the city? What boarding
assistance can the school give them?
The school offers the boarding house with a number of air-conditioned rooms in the Santa Maria Parish
convent and at the fourth floor of the ADI-SMCS General Blanco Site. The place includes strong internet
connectivity where they can still have their offsite/online or IL/TF classes when needed. On the other
hand, the school is also looking for ways to assist them in the purchase of the necessary gadgets and in
their connectivity concerns. Some has also borrowed the desktop, headset, and IPad gadgets in school.

25. What would happen if the enrollment drops?


This is a nationwide concern that our education system faces in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis.
Rightfully so, many of our citizens are still having second thoughts in letting their children go out of their
houses, much so going to school. With this in mind, Ateneo will still continue to resume classes this
school year (unless the government, for whatever reason, will officially cancel or postpone it) but with
stricter preventive measures to protect the health and safety of all its stakeholders. In the advent that

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
30

enrollment drops, the school is compelled to give the vacated slot to its new applicants in order to “fill the
gap,” sustain the operations, and continue the school’s mission.

Figure 6. Onsite Enrollment Schedule

27 Will I keep my slot if the government will declare cancelation of classes for the
whole school year 2020-2021?
Yes. Whether the school year starts this August, or the opening will be moved by the government
on a later date, or it will be postponed next year is irrelevant. The fact is you have a reserved slot
for the next school year and that you have processed your enrollment. If, for whatever reason, the
school year 2020-2021 is canceled and the next school year is 2021-2022, then, you already have
a reservation for that. If the school year starts in August 24 as planned, whether you choose CBL
A or CBL B, the situation remains the same. Your slot remains, unless you decide not to enroll in
the given enrollment dates set by the school. But if the school year starts in August and you
decide not to enroll your child, then you give up your reservation/slot in favor of the waiting
admission applicants and students on appeal in school. You will also lose your slot if you decide
to transfer, do home school, or not to enroll for the whole school year.

27. Will classes be pushed through?


Classes will push through as planned, unless the government by law will declare cancelation of classes for
the SY 2020-2021. Note that the opinion of some of our public officials to cancel classes is simply their
suggestion. The power to cancel the school year resides in the national government through appropriate
legislation in view of the existing Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 or RA 10533 and the newly-
signed Republic Act 11480 that grants the President to reschedule the opening of classes. Assuming, for
the sake of argument, that cancelation shall be declared, the school will not take away from parents the
fees that they have paid for the matriculation of their children. If a parent feels he/she does not want to
enroll his/her child in any school at all for the school year, then it is their right as well not to. As far as the
school is concerned, Ateneo is fully preparing for the school year, including the necessary safety and
health measures required by the government and experts. Note that if the reserved slots are not pursued by

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
32

the concerned individuals who have made their reservation with the school, the school is compelled to
give the slot to the other waiting applicants on our list in case.

28 What if we decide to let our child stop school for one year? What will be the implications
for our child’s education?
Staying home or not enrolling in any school for one year will have several implications. The student will
belong to a different batch i.e. the lower batch, when the student resumes education. Having been
academically inactive for one year will need her/him to take admission exams again—completing against
all the other applicants—to make sure that the student has the best academic qualifications to proceed to
the next grade level in Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS. This assumes that slots will still be available by then.

29 If we home-school our child, or enroll in another school for this school year, will s/he be able
to return to Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS next school year?
In theory, yes. But the student must again take the usual admission exams and procedures, competing
against all the other applicants, to ensure that s/he is most academically eligible for the next grade level in
Ateneo. This is assuming that slots are still available for the said grade level.

30 The physical return to school will be decided after the first trimester or later in the school
year. If we are not comfortable with the arrangements and decide to stop schooling, what
are the implications?
To enroll is to trust in the competence of Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS to make good decisions in the delivery
of Ignatian education this school year. Health and safety will always be the top priority of the school. If
and when physical return to school becomes possible (this presumes that the government agencies such as
the DOH, IATF, and the national and local governments will give their approval to it), there will be
radical changes to the schedule and the classroom set up in order to observe health and safety protocols
such as physical distancing and regular disinfection of areas. Most likely, there will still be a semblance
of blended learning for the rest of the school year. If you do not find the arrangements of Ateneo de
Iloilo-SMCS satisfactory, you will always have the option and right to pull out. You may then stop
schooling this year, shift to homeschooling, or transfer to another school for the rest of the school year.
Please be assured that we share your concern to keep your children safe and make sure that they get
quality holistic education despite the ongoing public health crisis. We believe that we can achieve our
shared goals with our continued collaboration.
Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS has always prided itself in academic excellence and holistic formation, as proven
by the remarkable graduates that the school has produced in its 62 years of existence. While this
pandemic has brought about several unique challenges, it will not dampen our spirits and impede our
efforts to continue our mission of:
a. developing students who animate the 7 C’s: compassion, competence, character, conscience,
culture, community, and Christ-centeredness; and
b. forming leaders who pursue excellence that is ignited by love and service.

CONTEXTUALIZED BLENDED LEARNING (CBL) PROGRAM
A Hybrid Learning Continuity Plan of Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS

Appendix J: Learning Continuity Plan


A. Rationale

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to basic education is immense that it compels schools not just to
innovate but to reinvent itself to ensure students’ continuity of learning. The ‘new normal’ has served as a
healthy challenge for Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS to look at different scenarios and solutions to maintain the
school’s core learning standards and formation goals in the midst of crisis.

Right after the first Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) last March, we immediately formed
committees and conducted brainstorming sessions to study learning options for the next school year. This
includes a series of face-to-face and online consultations with and surveys for (see Appendix A) the

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
42

different experts and stakeholders of the school. Collaboration with other Jesuit school educators,
curriculum authorities, health and safety practitioners, and technology integration partners were also done
in the process.

The product of all this is our hybrid learning continuity plan called Contextualized Blended Learning
(CBL) Program. The Ateneo CBL program is a way of delivering learning instructions and activities
using a combination of offsite and onsite learning modalities suited to the context of the students.
Generally, it aims to maintain the standard of Ignatian formation and Jesuit education following a “way of
proceeding” that is relatively resilient against the threats of COVID-19 and other viral infections. With its
offsite and onsite learning classes, it is designed to be flexible while sustaining students’ learning, without
compromising their health and safety, with focus on “depth” and the “non-negotiables.” Students’ tasks
and subject coverage are enough to make sure that they are not burnt out but appropriately challenged, not
harassed but fully engaged.

In the final analysis, our CBL is Ateneo’s bold way of accepting the challenge of creating safe learning
experiences in the ‘new normal.’ This document is a testament of our desire, passion and commitment to
go the distance and form leaders who pursue excellence that is ignited by love and service.

B. Objectives

At the end of its implementation and with COVID-19 crisis in the backdrop, the CBL Program would
have:
1. implemented an effective learning continuity plan that has:
i. designed a programmatic curriculum that is lean, seamless, and
responsive to the call of the times;
ii. achieved the contextualized learning competencies and intended
outcomes through in-depth and supervised offsite-onsite learning
experiences,
iii. deepened face-to-face and online-offsite student-formator
engagements through re-structured and contextualized formation
strategies; and
iv. strengthened collaboration among offices and stakeholders in the
decision-making, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation
processes of the program; and
2. ensured that the health and safety of all stakeholders are safeguarded thru enhanced and
comprehensive inter-unit health and safety measures.

C. Learning Program

The learning mode of CBL is blended which combines different learning modalities in so far as it is
effective and efficient (See Appendix B for more details about blended learning). The Ignatian
Pedagogical Paradigm or IPP (See Appendix C) remains the “way of proceeding” in the teaching-learning
process. Hence, it is contextualized in its curriculum and instructional design which is tailor-made in the
context, capacity, and limitations of the school and its stakeholders.

The following are the Phases of CBL:


Phase Modality Projected Date
Phase 1 CBL B Full Offsite Learning August, 2020-January, 2021
Phase 2 CBL A: Onsite and Offsite Learning January, 2021-September, 2021
CBL B: Offsite Learning

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
43

Phase 3 Full Onsite Learning October, 2021 onwards

In the first trimesters of the school year, the school will have Phase 1: CBL B Full Offsite learning
modality. Then, if the government will allow it, we shall transition into Phase 2 where students and
parents are given the option to choose between CBL A and CBL B for their learning modality.
Meanwhile, Phase 3 is the Full Onsite Learning in the “new normal” which retains some semblance of
blended learning.

C1. Phase 1: CBL B Full Offsite Learning

CBL B Full Offsite is CBL B of Plan B, minus the onsite summative evaluations. It is divided into three
types as shown here:

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
44

The regular week for a student will look like this:

Schedules are designed as such in accordance with the American Pediatrics Society’s advice on the
management of learner’s screen time.

With only 40 minutes at hand, teacher-facilitated (TF) classes are expected to be more in-depth, concise,
action-driven, and value-focused. Advanced readings, modular strategies, or flipped classrooms may be
adopted in higher years. Online discussions will focus more in the most essential concepts, processes, and

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
45

on higher order thinking skills. Evaluation materials may be more project-based and done via
performance tasks.

See Appendix E: Definition of Terms for more details on the terms used in this document.

TF classes will be using the following Learning Management System (LMS) and Video Conferencing
Application (VCA) in its Full Offsite Teacher-Facilitated Classes:
Grade Level Learning Management System Video Conferencing Application
Prep-Grade 4 Seesaw Zoom
Grades 5-10 Google Classroom Webex and Zoom
Grades 11-12 Microsoft Teams MS Teams

C2. Phase 2: CBL A and CBL B

InThere shall be two CBL modalities that each student, with the consent of the parents or guardians, has
to choose from:
1. CBL A: Onsite and Offsite learning
2. CBL B: Offsite learning

CBL A is a learning modality designed for those who prefer to attend both onsite and offsite learning
classes, while CBL B is designed for students who, due to reasonable grounds, prefer offsite learning
classes only. Instead of physically attending the onsite classes, the CBL B student shall be virtually
attending a scheduled TF class that is either online or live-streamed/pre-recorded. All offsite learning
modules and tasks, including online consultations and virtual classes, shall be experienced and delivered
by students in both modalities. Both modalities, following safety protocols, will take scheduled and
regulated onsite summative tests and exams.

For students who will choose CBL B (offsite learning) modality, they are further required to “attend” the
regularly scheduled live-streamed/pre-recorded classes to supplement their learning experience. A student
who chose CBL A but happens to be absent due to health reasons, may also prefer to “attend” the same
scheduled live-stream/pre-recorded classes with expressed consent from the subject teacher concerned.

Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
46

Onsite Learning (for CBL A only)

1. The students will be in school for three half days a week (See Figure 1: CBL A and CBL
B Phase 2 In a Nutshell). Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) students
will have half day onsite classes during Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday (TThS), Grade
School (GS) students will have half day onsite classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
(MWF). See Table 1 and Table 2 for more details.
2. Each class will have half of the usual class size and will assume strict physical distancing
protocol in a 72 m2 wide classroom, ensuring a 5-feet distance (or farther) from each other.
This will also ensure closer class supervision and more personalized teacher-student
engagement.
3. In-depth discussion, consultation, output presentation, feed-backing, and/or summative
assessment are done during face-to-face classes strictly following the Ignatian Pedagogical
Paradigm (IPP). Kindly refer to Appendix C for more details.
4. Since the face-to-face classes are limited to just three days per week, subject teachers are
to maximize the contact period for the delivery, presentation, and discussion of the essential
details of the subject curriculum. Classroom interactions are more focused on exchange of
ideas among students while being seated/remaining in their assigned personal learning space.
5. Activities that entail physical contact are not allowed. However, collaboration among
students is highly encouraged through online or similar approaches. Both the teacher and the
students are to maintain physical distancing at all times. In situations where students will ask
for clarification, especially in skills based classes, the teacher must maintain the 6-feet rule
distance. As much as possible, answering of worksheets and other related activities will be
done not during the onsite period (but offsite).
6. Only one student will be allowed to use the restroom at a certain period of time. This is
especially true during recess or breather time to avoid unnecessary congregation of students in
the restrooms. School personnel shall be stationed in these areas to make sure proper distancing
is observed and only three (3) at most are inside the restroom at one time. Everyone is expected
to hand sanitize themselves before returning to his/her seat.
7. Students may bring their (your) own device (BYOD) for downloading of videos and
other materials needed for offsite activities. These devices may also be useful for flipped
classroom and other strategies that teachers may employ in class.
8. The original class section is divided into two sub-groups: the morning (AM) group and
the afternoon (PM) group. Students shall be equally divided by the Guidance and Testing
Office based on the usual set of criteria with students’ residence as an added major
consideration. This hopes to regulate collaboration of students based on their geographic
location and also for easy contact tracing, if needed
9. Each onsite class will be 40 minutes following the proposed schedule below. 

Table 1. Sample Schedule per Half Day for Prep, Kinder, and Grade 1
30-Min Class Kinder Class Prep Class Subject
Health Check 08:40-08:50 01:40-01:50 Health Check/Examen

5. Students are allowed to bring their own light snacks following rules on basic hygiene and health
safety. Consumption of which shall only be allowed inside the classroom during designated break
times or breathers.
6. Science, computer, speech, research, music, art, innovation, and home economics laboratory
activities may still be done, if deemed essential by the subject teacher, following strict
disinfection and physical distancing protocols. This is true also in the use of school libraries and
the conduct of physical education classes.
7. Daily health check shall be facilitated in by the first period subject teachers per class in
coordination with the school’s clinic/wellness center nurses, doctors, and aide.
8. During classes, electric fans shall be used and windows are to be opened to enhance air
circulation in the classroom. Air-conditioners shall be used sparingly and only if humidity is
unbearable already.
9. The school discipline formators, including the security and maintenance personnel, will serve as
compliance officers to
ensure that all the
health and safety
protocols of the school
are complied by
everyone. On top of
this, each subject
teacher and class
adviser shall make sure
that strict physical
distancing and health
checks are maintained
in the classroom.
10. At the end of last
period’s class, students
will be asked to
immediately go down
to the lobby area. To
avoid close contact,
dismissal will be done
one class at a time.

11. At the end of the last period class, students will immediately go down, one class at a time, using
the nearest exit (stairs and ramps). No student shall be allowed to stay or loiter in school before
and after dismissal.
12. Please see the school’s precautionary measures in Part J below for more details on the school’s
initiatives to ensure that the health and safety of all stakeholders in school are taken care of
following government standards.

Offsite Learning (for both CBL A and CBL B)


1. Students will have online consultation and offline activities for two full days and three half days
in a week (See Figure 1). The degree of tasks for offsite deliverables/assignments is
commensurate with the number of offsite periods set per subject.
2. Teachers are tasked to provide students with alternative printed materials, video clips/links,
research sites, worksheets, reading materials, apps, formative assessments, modules, and other
relevant forms and kinds of learning resources, to ensure continuous, fair, and effective offsite
learning. Activities and tasks are purposively designed to complement face-to-face classes (which
shall be live-streamed in a scheduled time for the benefit of students who chose CBL B modality;
although the school will try its best to beam a decent live-stream, there is no guarantee of high
video-audio quality as this shall be done only inside the actual classroom using the typical gadget
for live-streaming e.g. smart phone, IPad, or laptop).
3. Online personal or group consultation of students to teachers shall be available in two offsite days
a week—Tuesday and Thursday for GS and Wednesday and Friday for JHS/SHS—from 8 a.m.-
10 a.m. Consultation with the teacher beyond this and within working hours may still happen
upon prior appointment with the teacher concerned.
4. Free Google Classroom for Grades 5-10, Microsoft Teams for Grades 11-12 (SHS), and Seesaw
for Prep-Grade 4 shall be the official Learning Management System (LMS) to be used for offsite
classes. In these platforms, virtual classes happen. Parents may also secure access to the learning
tasks to be provided by teachers to students. Other platforms may also be used for online learning
as may deem fit and doable by the subject teacher concerned.
5. All official remote communications are done through the LMS and, if only necessary, via the
official Ateneo email system. Teachers are required to respond to students’ inquiries only within
Consultation Time (8 a.m.-10 a.m.) online, but may accept appointments for individual/group
consultation or inquiries within 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. during offsite days (TTh for GS and WF for
JHS/SHS).
6. A stronger internet connectivity such as Fiber or DSL connection is advised for those who opt to
choose the CBL B modality.

General Points
1. The role of parents and guardians are vital in both the onsite and offsite learning of students. In
tandem with the teachers, they are to monitor the students’ behavior, progress, attendance, and
active participation in the different platforms and activities. This includes, but not limited to,
consultation time, live-stream and online classes, working on worksheets/drills and home learning
tasks, tutorials (if deemed necessary), and (the process of) performing school deliverables. They
are advised to regularly coordinate with their respective class advisers for feedback and to
maximize home-school collaboration.
2. In light of the “new normal,” the school has adjusted curricular goals to prioritize key knowledge
and skills essential to our present context. The curriculum has been purposefully decongested.
Skills and knowledge have been carefully selected and designed to make sure they are relevant to
the needs of the learner and the world, will prepare them for higher learning, and are age-
appropriate. These essential life skills, which are anchored on the school’s core values—the 7 C’s
—and are focused on the 21st century skills such as literacy, numeracy, collaboration, self-
management, and social and global citizenship.

3. CBL’s onsite learning class requires each student to be in a regular classroom but with half its
class size, and to physically report to school for three half-days per week only. This scheme
effectively reduces the population density in school by 25% which will further improve physical
distancing.
4. Because half of the rooms are vacant in a given day, the maintenance personnel of the school are
tasked to regularly clean and disinfect these rooms as part of its health measures.
5. Submissions of most, if not all, of the deliverables in both modalities are done in soft copies and
through virtual LMS classrooms or the Gmail system.
6. Students who legitimately do not have internet connections or gadgets at home will be allowed to
use school facilities for their assigned tasks following school disinfection and other safety
protocols. These facilities include the GS and HS libraries, the Play library, the Instructional
Media and Resource Center (IMRC), the six IPad carts, the Innovation laboratory, the six Science
laboratories, and the four Computer laboratories to work on their assigned tasks. Proper inventory
shall be done to identify these students.
7. For privacy, child protection, and intellectual property rights purposes, all live-stream classes and
teacher-made learning materials are considered a school property. For legal and ethical reasons,
no one is allowed to record, share, upload, reproduce, or sell live-stream classes to anyone or in
any form/platform without the expressed consent of the concerned teacher and the school.
8. From the way things are happening right now, the school sees CBL to be implemented in the first
trimester/semester, depending on the findings of the IATF and other government agencies.
However, it may extend up until the second trimester, if need be.
9. By July 16-17, parents/guardians and their students must enroll in the CBL modality of their
choice so proper inventory, scheduling, classification, and preparation shall be done before the
start of the formal classes. This process shall be facilitated in by the Formation Team through the
Guidance and Testing Office.
10. Students are not allowed to transfer CBL modalities until the end of the trimester. Only for
extreme, extraordinary, and compelling reasons, coupled with a formal written appeal addressed
to the School Principal and noted by the class adviser concerned, will a student be given special
permission to transfer modality.
11. All school rules on discipline and right conduct apply in all the offsite and onsite classes. Please
see Appendix D: Student Handbook (pp56-122) for reference. The Formation Team will craft a
Manual on Offsite Learning, a set of rules and guidelines for students, which hopes to ensure safe
and responsible use of offsite modality tools. This includes proper use of the internet, social
media etiquette, digital citizenship, home learning responsibilities, live-streaming rules,
intellectual property and privacy rights, internet/digital addiction, intellectual honesty, cyber-
bullying, cybercrime, consistency in the passing of deliverables, etc.
12. Privacy and child protection continue to be important concerns that the school takes seriously in
this new setting. Data Privacy and Child Protection policies will continue to be observed. When
deemed necessary, synchronous sessions, although to be used by teachers sparingly, will be
recorded for security and future reference if necessary. In the same note, official consultation
period (8 a.m.-10 a.m. during offsite days) is also allowed only in the LMS set by the school.
13. Student personal data, images, and classwork, including videos, will only be collected for official
school or academic purposes. Moreover, submission of such materials will be done through
official platforms determined by the school. The school will comply with age requirements and
ensure appropriateness of apps or any digital/printed references that will be used by the students.
14. The good thing with the CBL Program is that it is flexible. If worst happens, the school can go
full offsite at once. This means that all classes shall be a combination of online, remote, and
virtual learning just like the CBL B learning modality, without onsite classes and assessments. To
distinguish it from CBL A and B, we call this as CBL C. In the CBL C learning modality, both
students and teachers shall be in the safety and comforts of their homes holding regulated classes
with the same topics and learning outcomes to cover. Learning materials (e.g. worksheets,

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
50

modules, assessments) and students’ outputs/tasks may be submitted by and to both parties using
the LMS and/or the school’s Gmail system. Synchronous and/or asynchronous classes, formative
and summative assessments, and real-time consultations can still happen in each subject’s LMS
(Seesaw, Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams) unhampered.

Kindly see Appendix E for the definition of technical terms used herewith.

C3. Full Onsite Learning


This modality shall be adopted by the school if the COVID-19 situation ceases to exist or at least
be under control. If going to school is already considered safe and free from infection, then the
students will again experience full onsite learning. This modality will have the usual face-to-face
classes but with a twist in terms of pedagogical strategies and school policies as this is already the
“new normal.” Since this is expected not to happen within the school year, we will park this part
of the discussion for a while.

D. Course Offerings
The course offerings of the school remain intact. CBL proportionately classifies the onsite and
offsite classes of each subject depending on its context, competencies, and content. Course
Outlines shall be given to parents and students for their reference.

E. Assessment, Grading, and Honor System


Performance of students will still be computed using the Upper Limit System but with a twist in
adopting the KPUP approach. Shown below is the newly-appropriated grading system. Please see
Part III. Academic Policies (pp 44-48) of the Student Handbook in Appendix D.

We will continue to have three trimesters for GS and JHS and two semesters (with midterm and
final exams per semester) for SHS in the next school year.

Both CBL A and CBL B modalities will require students to take 2-3 scheduled face-to-face
summative assessments and one set of summative examination per subject (face-to-face) every
trimester or semester (midterm and final exams). Formative assessments through worksheets and
related strategies are to be done offsite, unless necessary in onsite classes.

Meanwhile, the school’s Academic Honors and Awards policy (See pp 48-53 of Appendix D.
Student Handbook) will remain to be implemented unless otherwise changed by the school in the
process. As of the moment, both the President’s and the Academic councils of the school are
considering not to have honors and awards for the school year anymore due to the special
learning modality brought about by the COVID-19 crisis situation.

F. Formation Program

From the very start of our preparation, it is clear to the school that we are in the state of a pandemic. As
such, everyone is aware that our “way of proceedings” will no longer be the same. The challenge to
incarnate the formation thrusts of the school is more daunting. The time-tested formation offerings have
to be re-created. Some need to be archived. However, the fundamental question that guides the school in
re-defining the formation strategy for students remains the same: What will lead students "not only in
touch but in communion, in intimacy with Jesus Christ?.”

Moreover, the school is aware that the students we are journeying with are confronted with multi-faceted
concerns. Their struggles now will no longer be just to cope with academic demands. Among others, they
need to face the reality of isolation as a consequence of being “quarantined,” something that is contrary to
their very nature as young people of this generation. Others are most likely to face financial burdens with
the displacement of their parents in their work. And some others are probably anxious about how smooth
learning will be, now that learning will take place on a new platform. The struggles are real. Some may
cope easily; for others, it may take time. But this is their world. This is where they are now.

Being aware of where our students are at, the constraints of our school, and the anxiety of our teachers,
parents, and guardians about the present situation, the formation team came up with this blueprint to
accompany them as they allow themselves to be formed as men and women for others, persons whose
way of being, loving, and serving resembles that of St. Ignatius, the beloved soldier of Christ.

As a formation school, we desire to pay special attention to:


 accompanying Ateneans in their way of coping with the psycho-emotional and socio-spiritual
demands of the time;
 deepening their desires for growth, care for others and the environment; and
 working with parents and teachers as they journey with young people in this very challenging
time.

With this in mind, the Formation Program of the school will be driven and operate as follows:

Campus Ministry and Social Involvement (CMSI) Program


CMSI desires to enable students to foster a greater sense of responsibility as an individual and as a person
in a community; recognize how their personal choices have an impact on the community; develop a habit
of prayer and reflection; nurture their faith/spiritual growth through regular reception of the Eucharist.

Activities:
Regular Eucharistic Celebration• Daily Examination of Consciousness • Annual Retreat /Recollection
from Grade 5 to Grade 12 • Prayer Services for Prep to Grade 4 • Regular Confession (once allowed) •
Regular Journal Writing • Continuation of Blue Alert’s Iggy Bank • Alternative Outreach Activities

Guidance and Testing Program


This program desires to enable students to possess a realistic self-knowledge and well-grounded values
that will help them to relate well with others and cope with life’s challenges; plan, monitor and manage
their own learning as well as their personal and career development seek help when needed or avail of
counselling and consultation services; navigate well through life’s challenges, opportunities and choices.

Start of the School Year Orientation of Students and Parents • Psychosocial Counseling • Group
Dynamic Sessions/Symposia • Individual Inventory Record • Interview and Individual or Group
Counselling • Colloquia (Batch/Per Section) with Teachers • Career Guidance • Psychological
Testing • Follow-up on “At Risk” Students • Referral of Students for Professional Help • Training

and Mentoring of Class Advisers

Discipline Program
This program desires to enable students to get engaged in understanding appropriate behavior
to attain meaningful and respectable interaction with one another in the community; demonstrate
right conduct and be mindful of potential consequences for failing to adhere to established norms;
report violations and employ means to stop a violation being committed by fellow Atenean or abort
a possible consummation of known violation without endangering one’s health and safety; comply
with the health and safety measures of the school as a way of protecting one’s self and members of
the family.

Preemptive and Proactive Way to Avoid Possible School Violations • Propose and Implement
Strategies for a Smooth and Organized Conduct of School Activities • Positive Reinforcement for
Admirable Behavior of Students • Discussion Sessions for the Understanding of School Rules and
Procedures for Parents, Teachers, and Students • Presence in Major Student Activities • Prompt and
Prudent Action on Referred Cases • Proper Documentation of Office Transactions • Monitoring of
Students’ Behavior • Safe Mechanism Where Students Can Report Violation Without any Fear of
Intimidation

While the Student Handbook policies (See Appendix D. Student Handbook) will generally still be in
effect, certain items may be adjusted to suit the CBL format. Hence, the school—through the leadership
of the offices of the Associate Principals for Formation and Learning Support and in collaboration with
the Online Learning Committee and the Learning Innovation through Technology (LITe) Program—is
crafting a CBL-contextualized manual on the etiquettes, rules, and regulations for offsite learning, which
includes responsible use of internet portals and the social media, learning management systems,
online/offline learning apps and sites, printed materials and worksheets, interactive portals, learning
videos and links, offsite projects/researches, formative and summative assessments, home learning tasks,
online convos, and other related areas. This shall be incorporated in the orientation of parents and
students set this July and August, respectively.

Student Development Program


This program desires to enable students to articulate their thoughts, hone their skills and express
themselves in safe and respectful small communities; nurture their talents/gifts and make use of these in
initiating/participating service-oriented activities; render admirable service in a way they are capable of as
students; practice their leadership skills through different activities they are joining and facilitating

Accessible and Developmental Leadership Training Opportunities for Students Venues/


Opportunities for Campaign and Election of Student Councils • Club Offerings from Grade 5 to
Grade 12 in Second Trimester Onwards • Support Initiatives for and Training of Club Moderators •
Encouragement for Service-Oriented Initiatives • Training on Project Proposal Making • Alternative
Student-led Outreach Activities

Please see Appendix I for ADI-SMCS Social Media Policy in the “New Normal.”

More than ever, the Formation Program of the school is most relevant considering the situation that our
students are experiencing right now. The formation team, in collaboration with all the faculty and staff of
the school, will exhaust all means possible, including acceptable online interaction with students and
other offsite strategies, to guarantee their balanced and holistic formation where they are accompanied
well by significant others while navigating the “new normal.”

Desktop/Laptop (Core i3 or later/non-Intel equivalent or higher; Windows


10/MacOS High Sierra)

Fiber or, if not viable, DSL internet connection (Globe, Smart-PLDT, and other internet providers,
depending on your location) is highly advised. Data wifi-connectivity may be acceptable only in opening
non-heavy emails and in slowly browsing through the LMS (Seesaw/Google/MS Meet classroom)
platform.

Before the start of the regular classes, an inventory of students’ internet connectivity and gadget
capability will be done again, this time in a census way, so the teachers would know the right teaching
opportunity they can use for student learning and for the school to look into ways to assist the few others.

The office of the Associate Principal for Learning Support—together with the Information Technology
Office, the Online Learning Committee, and the Learning Innovations through Technology (LITe)
Program—will serve as the lead agency that will supervise the online service of the school. It is tasked,
among others, to give technical assistance to students, teachers, and parents when needed.

due to uncontrollable events.

L. Tuition and Other Fees

This is for the first time in the school’s history that we will have zero tuition fee increase. More than 80%
of tuition income is spent on salaries and benefits of teachers and other employees. The 20% on overhead
will still be used for the same purpose because the campus has to be maintained and annual fees paid.

Teachers will still be based in school at a contextually-designed time schedule while delivering offsite
and onsite education. They are also expected to do more preparations and updating to adjust to the CBL
modalities. Likewise, more than one teacher or personnel may be needed at times to manage a class,
especially if live-streaming and online learning are part of the offering. Students may still be using the
school facilities and the school will still invest in health and safety facilities/supplies for the extra
precautionary measures of the institution. Some hard-up students, like some of our 160 scholars, will also
be served by the school for their online/offsite classes.

Furthermore, miscellaneous fees will decrease by 10%-30% even if the school is gearing towards
spending much to enhance our internet connectivity and facilities for better service to students. Only
textbooks and modules that are useful for offsite learning shall be required to students this school year
which reduces the costing to an average of 50%. The rest of the materials shall be given in soft copies for
free or through hard copies for face-to-face classes.

All these cancellation of tuition fee increase and reduction of miscellaneous and textbook fees, together
with the CBL Program, has already been presented to and with the concurrence of the leadership of the
Parent Teacher
Association (PTA).

campaign.

Figure 3. Stop Spread Precautionary Measures

Furthermore, following health standards set by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) and the World Health

9. class masses, retreats, recollections, class days, class nights, class convos, and group dynamics to
be done online, remote, or in the latter part of the school year; but only to be held in school and in

N. Health Check and Health Pack

Ateneo de Iloilo-SMCS Contextualized Blended Learning (CBL) Program for the School Year 2020-2021
Prepared by Dr. Herman Lagon, School Principal
60

Health Check refers to the daily health check by the school personnel to students reporting (onsite or
offsite) to school. This also refers to either an individual or small group session by the class advisers,
guidance counselor, mentor, with students. The health that is being checked here covers not just the
physiological health, but also the psycho-emotional and psycho-social well being of the student/s.
Deliberate Health Check in face-to-face classes is done by the first subject teacher each class day.

Upon Arrival
Upon arrival at school, students will hand sanitize and undergo the first phase of health check. It starts
with the temperature check at the main entrance and followed with flu-like symptoms check; to look for
symptoms like cough, runny nose, and/or sore throat.
1. With Symptoms. Those who failed in the temperature and symptoms check will be
immediately asked to go home. The names shall be written on the clinic’s log and be
forwarded to the school’s physician and POD for proper medical attention and possible
treatment. Once the symptoms are cleared, the student will only be allowed admission upon
presentation of a medical certificate.
2. Cleared. Once cleared, they will proceed immediately inside their assigned classroom. No
one is allowed to loiter in the hallway. Casual talk maybe done inside the classroom but
physical distancing shall be observed. Floor monitors shall be stationed at conspicuous areas
to make sure that this is properly observed.

It the Classroom
Every first ten minutes of the day’s class shall be allocated for the second phase of health
checking. First and third days’ health check will be conducted by the adviser and the second day will be
done by the co-adviser. The teacher assigned, from her vantage point, shall individually check the
attendees for flu-like symptoms. This is to make sure that those with symptoms who may not have been
noticed in the first phase of checking shall be immediately forwarded to the clinic for check-up and be
asked to go home (following the usual procedures of the Discipline Office). If time permits, those who
wish to sanitize their desk with their wipes and alcohol may do so.
1. With Symptoms. After asking the student with symptoms to proceed to the clinic, the class
shall immediately vacate the room and transfer to the reserved classroom. The room shall be
immediately sanitized and will only be used the day after.
2. Cleared. Once cleared, the class will be asked to be ready for the first period class.

Each student attending onsite classes shall bring a Health Pack. It must contain the
following:
Required  personal (allergy; maintenance
 extra face masks (order of or preventive) medicine
efficacy: N95, FFP1 mask,
surgical mask, re-wear mask,
cloth mask) or face shield,
whichever the students/parents
prefer
 hand sanitizer or “rubbing
alcohol” with 70% (or higher)
alcohol content (school also
provides this in the gate,
entrance areas, and clinic)
 disinfecting wipes (better to mix
with alcohol when in use)

Strongly encouraged

for old students. However, the same Clearance
will be required to be processed at the middle of
