Dear Parents/ Guardians:

Warm Paulinian Greetings!

It’s been a while and I pray that your family is safe and healthy!

It has always been our mission at St. Paul University Philippines to provide our students with quality Catholic
Paulinian education. In this time of pandemic, we will continue to do so- but now in a different way- as we
transition into the new normal.

For the fourth quarter of School Year 2019-2020, we will take a systematic path and employ a very
manageable approach in administering class instruction. Over the past few weeks, teachers have been working
diligently on their Dynamic Instructional Plans (DIPs) which will be delivered to all the learners to ensure
continuity of learning.

On the succeeding pages, you will find the fourth quarter learning targets of MAPEH 7 All learning tasks of
the subject are anchored on the learning competencies your child needs to master. Since these tasks are to be
done at home, I ask that you take time to assist/guide your child to assure his/her success of education.

Please do also take note that all accomplished tasks may be send through email, messenger, other social media
platform, or be brought to the designated drop boxes strategically situated at the university’s pedestrian gate.

I am fully aware that these difficult times are having a significant impact on you, your family, and the school
and so we will remain in constant communication with you and will be available for questions during this
transition. We are confident we can move into this new normal together.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing the accomplishment your child will create. I fervently pray that we
will all be blessed and that we will overcome all the difficulties during this time of uncertainty. Let us
continuously pray and work together, all for the greater glory of God!

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Mr.John Wayne J. Salmos
