NOVEMBER 2022 HEALTH REMINDER: ON WEARING FACE MASKS IN SCHOOL

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Greetings of Character, Faith, Service and Excellence!

With President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signing EO No. 7, the public is no longer required to wear
masks both indoors and outdoors, except in healthcare facilities, medical transport vehicles,
and all types of public transport.

However, the most effective way to stay healthy still comes from layering our protection
measures by masking. Through this, we keep the spread of COVID-19 and other germs
minimal. Keeping cases of COVID-19 low allows students and teachers (and their families at
home) to remain healthy so everyone can be in school and ready to participate. If illness
spreads or surges, more people will have to stay home for extended periods of time, which
makes teaching, learning and keeping schools open and functioning very challenging.

Therefore, the School Administration reiterates that MASKING IN SCHOOL IS REQUIRED. It

is good to remember, too, that there are teachers and children who may have medical
conditions that put them at high risk for COVID-19 but still deserve to be able to attend school.
Our school staff and students may also live with high-risk people as well.

By continuing to mask while in school, we are doing our best to keep all these individuals
healthy and keep schools open and safe for in-person learning. Thank you for your continued
support in all our endeavors in keeping our school safe and healthy!

Sincerely,

SUSAN LOIDA SANTIAGO-SORIANO, RN, MSN
