IT TAKES A GREAT STAFF

TO MAKE A GREAT SCHOOL

Principal Natividad Carag is always pleased when she asks pupils if they like school and they say yes. Rarely
does a student ever respond no to that question, and I believe our pupils’ positive response is because our staff
is so committed and caring," said Carag.

At Divisoria ES, commitment and care is reflected in the schools status as it is using another learning modality
the (walkie talkie), which signifies interaction between the pupils and speaks of high academic achievement
which reflects the staffs commitment to building connections with parents and the larger community.

She feels her school is a great place for pupils because of its dedicated teachers. They are kind and respectful
to children. In that way, they are wonderful role models for our pupils. They keep lines of communication open
with families through group chats, telephone calls, or emails -- whatever works for families. They keep their
expectations high for all pupils. They continuously look for opportunities for their own professional growth,
and they support that in their colleagues"

Principal Carag said, “Our teachers work hard when the public is watching and harder after their official day is
over; and harder still into the private hours when they are at home with their families."
