is inside the school, he or she must go directly to his or her classroom. Students are not allowed to
linger unsupervised in any other parts of the school. Classrooms will have air conditioning units
and hepa filters. Dismissal time varies according to the number of subjects the students have in a
day.

學生必須在上午 7:55 前到校。最好提早來校，以免排長隊。一旦進入校園，就要直接進

教室，不得在其他任何地方逗留。教室將配備空調和肝過濾器。下課時間根據學生上課的

students. The school bag is a personal item and each student must carry his/her own.

B. ATTENDING FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES 上面授課

1. Students must attend classes on time. This school year, classes start at 8:10 a.m. for Grade
Seven to Grade Ten students. Students should be in school by 7:55 a.m. Please follow Philippine
Standard Time. Students can also use the few minutes before class to prepare their learning
materials and/or bond with the first-period teacher and their classmates. Each class lasts only 60
minutes, and students should not miss any class time. The routine of attending class on time helps
the students develop the qualities of punctuality and discipline.
必須準時來校上課。七年級至十年級的學生上午 8:10 開始上課，應在上午 7:55 前到校。
請遵循菲律賓標準時間。學生可以利用課前幾分鐘準備學習材料或與第一節課老師及同學
聯繫。每節課只有限定的幾分鐘，不能錯過任何課時。 按時上課有助於培養學生的守時
性和紀律性。

Flag ceremonies are held in class on Tuesdays and Fridays at 8:05 a.m. These ceremonies
include the singing of the national anthem and the school song. A student who misses the
ceremony will be considered tardy.

星期二和星期五上午 8:05 舉行升旗儀式，這儀式包括唱國歌和校歌。沒參加儀式的將

2. Students must attend classes regularly. On days other than Tuesdays and Fridays, students
who come to class after 8:10 a.m. will be considered tardy. Three tardy marks are equivalent to
one absence.
學生必須按時上課。除星期二和星期五外，上午 8:10 後來上課的將被視爲遲到。三次
遲到等於一次缺席。

3. Students who miss one face-to-face subject, whether at the beginning, middle, or end of a
school day, will be considered absent. Absence in one subject, whether academic or nonacademic,
will be equivalent to absence for the whole school day. Students who incur absences equivalent
to or greater than one-fifth of the total number of school days will be considered dropped or failed
and will not be promoted to the next grade level. For example, if the number of school days totals
200, a student who incurs 40 or more absences(cumulative of absences from both face-to-face and
online classes) will be considered dropped or failed and will not be promoted to the next level.
面授課缺席，無論是在上課開始、中間還是結束時，都當缺席一整天。一個學科缺課，無
論是學術科還是非學術科，都視為缺席一天。缺席超過總上課日數的五分之一將被視為退
學或留級。例如:上課日數總共為 200 天，缺席 40 天以上（面授課和線上課合計），即視
為退學或留級。

如手機）保持清潔。手機是個人物品，不得使用他人的手機或將其借給他人。

15. No two persons should drink from the same water bottle/cup/glass, bite from the same
food, or use the same utensils. The sharing of personal items is not permitted.
任何人都不可用同一個水瓶/杯子/玻璃杯喝水，也不可同吃一種食物，不可共用個人
物品。

16. In school, students must “observe the well-being of their own classmates, and if someone
among them is not feeling well or has colds/cough and is feverish, the sick learner will be
reported to the teacher for validation of his/her condition.” (Enclosure No. 4 to DepEd
Memorandum No. 015, s. 2020) When reporting about a sick classmate to the teacher, students
must do so in a discreet and respectful way so as not to cause undue embarrassment or
discomfort.
在學校，學生必須“觀察自己同學的健康狀況，如果其中有身體不適或感冒/咳嗽和發
燒的，應報告老師確認他的情況。”（教育部備忘錄第 015 號，2020 年第 4 號附件）
在向老師報告時，必須以謹慎和尊重的方式進行，以免造成不必要的尷尬或不適。

PART TWO: ONLINE CLASSES

第二部分: 網上課程

I. GENERAL GUIDELINES:一般準則

A. GETTING READY FOR ONLINE CLASSES 準備好上網課

1. Students should be given their own learning nooks/areas in the house. Being in their
designated learning areas gives students the sense that they should put importance in their studies,
separating their study hours from their leisure hours. These learning nooks should only have
materials needed for school and should be free of things that may cause distractions such as toys,
gadgets, coloring books, TV screens, etc.
學生在家裡應該有自己學習的場地，使他們感覺到學習的重要，把學習與閒暇時
間區分開。學習場地應該只有上課所需的用品，不要有可能導致分心的東西:如玩具、
小器具、著色簿、電視螢幕等等。

If there is more than one distance learner in the household, each student should
preferably have his or her own learning nook reasonably away from other learners because
sounds and activities coming from another learner's device might be distracting during online
classes.
如果家中上網課的不止一人，最好每個人都有各自的學習角落，與其他人有一段
適當的距離，因為來自其他人的設備的聲音和活動可能會使他分散注意力。

2. Students must have their devices ready for online learning.

學生必須準備好各種線上學習的設備。

-- MORE --
 a. Students should preferably use laptops/PCs instead of tablets. They are
advised to use devices with big screens so that they can see all the details of the lessons.
學生最好使用筆記型電腦/桌面電腦而不是平板電腦，最好是有大螢幕的
設備，才能看到課程的所有細節。

b. Students must have working microphones and videos in order to fully

participate in discussions, recitations, and other activities. Students must address
problems concerning their mics and videos immediately and must seek the help of their
parents/older siblings/other household members when the need arises.
學生必須有性能良好的麥克風和視頻可使用，才能充分參與討論、朗讀和
其他活動。當麥克風和視頻出現問題時，必須立即處理，並在需要時尋求家長、
兄弟姊妹或其他家庭成員的幫助。

c. Students must have earphones/headsets for synchronous classes so that they

don't get distracted by the other activities in the house and so that they can hear the teacher
clearly. The students may take off their headsets during PE activities.
必須戴耳機/耳麥，以免分散注意力，而且可以清晰的聽到老師的聲音。
在體育活動時可取下。

d. Students must have a printer for printing out worksheets.

必須備有打印機以便打印作業。

3. Students are advised to have alternative internet providers on standby. In case the
main internet provider is not working properly, students should immediately try to switch to a
secondary provider (e.g., pocket Wi-Fi, home prepaid Wi-Fi, etc.) so that they experience as
little interruption as possible during synchronous class time.
建議學生要有備用的其他互聯網提供者，如果主要互聯網無法正常運作，應立即
嘗試切換到次要的供應者（例如袖珍無線網路、家庭預付費的無線網路等），盡可能減
少在同步課時中斷學習。

If there is more than one student engaged in distance learning in the family, the internet
system should be able to meet the needs of all the learners and must be upgraded when the need
arises.
如果家庭中不止一個學生上網課，互聯網系統必須能夠應付所有學習者的需要，
並且必須在需要時進行升級。

-- MORE --
B. ATTENDING ONLINE CLASSES
上網課時應注意事項

1. Students must attend virtual classes on time. This school year, classes for Grade
Seven to Grade Ten start at 8:10 a.m. Students should log into Zoom at 8:05 a.m. Please follow
Philippine Standard Time. Students can also use the few minutes before class to check their
settings, address any technical issues, and/or bond with the first-period teacher and their
classmates. Each synchronous class lasts only for a limited number of minutes, and students
should not miss any class time. The routine of attending class on time helps the students develop
the qualities of punctuality and discipline.

學生必須準時上課。本(2022-23)學年度上課時間上午 8:10 開始。上第一堂課的

8:05 就要登入到 Zoom。(菲律賓標準時間)。可利用上課前幾分鐘檢查其裝置，處理任何
技術上的問題或和老師同學聯繫。每節課僅僅有限的幾十分鐘，不可錯過。準時去上課的
習慣可以提高守時和守紀律的素質。

Flag ceremonies are held on Tuesdays and Fridays at 8:05 a.m. These ceremonies
include the singing of the national anthem and the school song. A student who misses the
ceremony will be considered tardy.

星期二和星期五上午 8:05 舉行升旗儀式，這儀式包括唱國歌和校歌。沒參加儀

式的將被視為遲到。

2. Students must attend synchronous classes regularly. Attendance will be monitored

very strictly to ensure that students take part in all important activities/lessons. During
synchronous learning (SL) days, students should stay throughout the entire duration of the class
and should not leave the class early for other activities.
學生必須按時上同步課。校方將嚴格監控出席率，以確保學生參加所有重要的活
動/課程。在同步學習（SL）時間，不得提前離開課堂參加其他活動。

Students who miss one-third of synchronous class time (15 minutes or more), whether at the
beginning, middle, or end of a subject, will be considered absent. Students who are unable to attend
synchronous classes because of poor or no internet connection will be considered absent. Absence
in one subject, whether academic or nonacademic, will be equivalent to absence for the whole
school day. Students who incur absences equivalent to or greater than one-fifth of the total number
of school days will be considered dropped or failed and will not be promoted to the next grade
level. For example, if the number of school days totals 200, a student who incurs 40 or more
absences(cumulative of absences from both face-to-face and online classes) will be considered
dropped or failed and will not be promoted to the next level.
學生錯過三分之一同步上課時間（15 分鐘或更長時間），無論是在上課開始、中間
或是結束時，都將被視為缺席。因網路連接不良或沒有互聯網連接而無法上同步課的學生

-- MORE --
將被視為缺席。缺席一堂課，無論是學術或是非學術科目，都等於缺席一整天。缺席超過
總上課日數的五分之一將被視為退學或留級。例如:上課日數總共為 200 天，缺席 40 天以
上（面授課和線上課合計），即將被視為退學或留級。

Parents should email their children's class adviser when their children encounter internet
problems or experience illness. Students may be excused from deadlines in case they cannot join
class because of valid reasons such as poor internet connection, illness, etc.; however, they will
still be marked absent in order to keep track of the number of absences incurred within the school
year for reasons cited in the preceding paragraph.
學生因互聯網問題或生病而缺席，家長應通過電子郵件向老師請假。如果因互聯
網連接不良、生病等正當原因不能上課，可以免除他們作業或功課最後期限的規定。但
是，由於學校隨時注意學生缺席次數，因此將標記為缺席。

3. When students log into their online classes via Zoom, they should use this particular
format: class number, first name, last name, and Chinese name (e.g., 01 Jane Ang 洪佳尹
or 15 John Lloyd Yu 楊俊傑). Make sure that there are no unnecessary symbols or spaces
before the class number. Those who do not know how to or cannot add their Chinese names may
email their class advisers so that the class advisers can send them their Chinese names for them
to copy and paste onto their Zoom names.

必須按照順序登入 Zoom 上課：班號、名字、姓氏和中文名字（例如 01 Jane Ang 洪

佳尹;15 John Lloyd Yu 楊俊傑），切勿在班號前作任何不必要的記號或留空間。不懂如何
添加或無法添加中文名字的，可發電子郵件告訴級任老師，級任老師會發送給他們複製並
貼到 Zoom 上。

Students must make sure they are not using names of siblings who had classes before
them. Those who use made-up names may not be recognized by the teacher and may not be
admitted to class and may therefore be marked absent.

必須確定沒有使用在他們之前上過課的兄弟姐妹的名字，使用假名的可能不被允許
上課，因此可能被記缺席。

Tip: Students who are sharing devices with other members of the family may save their
formatted login names (i.e., class number, English first name last name, Chinese name) in a note
or document which they can easily “copy and paste” from.
提示: 和兄弟姊妹共用電腦的，請存入姓名班級於文件中，以便複製和粘貼。

-- MORE --
 When family members are sharing the same Zoom account, it is better for the student to
log in manually by entering the meeting number and passcode instead of pressing the Zoom link.
A manual login will allow the student to format his or her name. Pressing the link will not give
the student the same opportunity to change to the proper format.
當家庭成員共用相同的 Zoom 帳戶時，最好用手操作，輸入會議號碼和密碼，
而不是按 Zoom 鏈接登入。用手操作登入可以更改姓名。按 Zoom 鏈接不會有更改正
確姓名的機會。

Important: For security reasons, students must not share their Zoom link, meeting ID,
and/or passcode with anyone outside of their class.
重要提示：出於安全原因，學生不得與任何人共用鏈接、會議號碼和/或密碼。

4. Students should be sitting up on a chair in front of a table during synchronous classes.

Maintaining a proper sitting position keeps a student alert for recitation and other class
interactions.
上課時應保持端正的坐姿，使能注意口頭答問、朗讀和其他課堂互動。

5. Students must turn their videos on, and their faces must clearly appear in the
middle of the screen. Being able to see their teachers and classmates allows students to
experience genuine interaction and gives them a sense of belonging. The reactions on the faces
of others are visual cues that help children develop social intelligence.
必須打開視頻，臉部必須清楚地出現在屏幕中間，能夠看到老師和同學，讓學生
體驗真正的互動，並給他們一種歸屬感。他人臉上的反應表情可幫助孩子發展社交智能。

If students want to have a virtual background, they should use the one provided by the
school. When using virtual backgrounds, students (with the help of their parents/guardians) must
make sure their faces remain visible on the screen and do not blend with the background. If they
choose not to use any virtual backgrounds, they must make sure that the scene/view behind them
is presentable and will not cause them embarrassment.
如果想要有虛擬背景，須使用學校提供的。使用虛擬背景時，學生（在家長/監
護人的協助下）必須確保臉部在螢幕上完全看得見，並且不與背景混合。如果選擇不使
用背景，必須確保背後的景色/景物是拿得出去的，不會給他們帶來尷尬。

The following will be considered absent from synchronous class:

上同步學習課，以下將被視為缺席：

a. students who do not have their videos on and not responding when called
沒有打開視頻和被叫時沒有反應

b. students who have their videos on but do not appear on the screen

-- MORE --
 打開視頻但沒有出現在螢幕上

c. students who have their videos on but are not responding when called upon for
recitation or any other class activity
打開視頻，但老師發問或要他參與活動時沒有回應

d. students who leave the online class without a valid reason before the teacher has
dismissed the class
老師還沒結束線上課程，沒有正當理由自行先離開

e. students who are on the road, in a vehicle, or in another place other than their
study nooks
在路上、車輛上或學習空間以外的其他地方上課

Tip:Students should adjust the cameras so that their faces are within the frame and are clearly
visible to the teachers.
提示 :學生應把屏幕調整到適當的高度，使臉部在框架內，教師能清晰看到。

6. Students must keep their microphones on mute unless they are invited to speak.
When their microphones are on, they should be mindful of background noise (such as other
members of the family talking or the TV) and should keep these possible distractions to a
minimum.

除非老師要你講話或回答問題，否則麥克風必須保持靜音。當麥克風打開時，應注
意背景噪音（例如家人在講話或看電視），要把可能的干擾降到最低。

Tip: Students should adjust the volume to a comfortable level, stay in a quiet place with the
least distraction from family members so that they don’t have to turn up the volume, and take a
listening break after their synchronous class.

提示：將音量調節到舒適的程度。坐在一個安靜的地方，遠離家人的干擾，這樣你就不
必調高音量了。同步課程后休息一下。

Tip: Clean your headset/earphones regularly.

提示：定期清潔耳機/耳麥。

7. Students must keep possible distractions away. They should turn off notifications or
other running apps they don’t need during online class.

-- MORE --
 必須避免可能的干擾，要關閉在線課堂上不需要的通訊或其他正在運行的應用軟
件。

8. Students must wear appropriate clothes (with sleeves). They may wear their uniforms,
event shirts, or blue or white shirts with sleeves. Students should appear ready for class and must
not show up looking disheveled or dressed in sleepwear, i.e., pajamas.

必須穿整齊的服裝（有袖子的），可以穿校服、學校的活動襯衫或有袖子的藍色或
白色襯衫。應該準備好上課，不得頭髮散亂或穿著睡衣。

Note: Sleeves are strictly required.

注意：嚴格要求服裝要有袖子的。

9. Students must continue to observe good grooming habits such as styling their hair
and trimming their nails. Students (boys and girls) who have long hair may use hair bands, hair
clips, or hair ties (ponytail holders) to keep their hair away from their faces. Students are not
allowed to dye their hair.

必須遵守良好的修飾習慣，頭髮要梳好，指甲要修剪，頭髮長的不可遮住臉部，頭
髮不可染色。

10. Students may have a bottle or glass of water beside them so they may take sips when
they get thirsty.

可在身旁放一瓶或一杯水，口渴時可飲用。

C. OBSERVING PROPER CONDUCT DURING DISTANCE LEARNING

在遠程學習期間應注意正確的行為

1. Students must practice respect and courtesy in class. Various unexpected things can
happen during online learning such as screens freezing, voices lagging, embarrassing noises
being heard, etc. During such times, students must remain calm and respectful. They should
ignore small glitches and simply wait for the situation to get better.

必須尊重他人，懂禮貌。線上學習過程中可能發生各種意想不到的事，例如屏幕凍
結、聲音滯後、聽到令人尷尬的聲音等等，應保持鎮定和尊重。不必理會任何小故障，靜
待情況好轉。

-- MORE --
 All language and manners of expression in class should be polite and respectful.
Offensive, insulting, hurtful, inappropriate, and embarrassing comments are not allowed. Trying
to be smart or funny is not an acceptable excuse. Students who use foul, offensive language or
who practice cyberbullying will be given appropriate disciplinary actions.

課堂、討論區和聊天室中所有的談論和表達方式都應有禮貌和互相尊重。不可發表
具有攻擊性、侮辱性、傷害性、不適當和令人尷尬的評論。開玩笑是不可接受的藉口，使
用粗俗、冒犯性語言或進行網絡欺凌的將受到適當的紀律處分。

2. Students are expected to adhere to the same standards of behavior which govern
our school community. Should any student misbehave or commit any misconduct, the guidance
officer will set a counseling session with the student. Any violations of the school policies and
rules may subject the student to disciplinary actions including an incident report and other
sanctions if deemed necessary. Incident reports will be part of the student’s disciplinary records.

應遵守學校的行為規範，如有任何不端或不當行為，輔導處將安排指導講習，進行
輔導。有任何違反學校政策與規則的，將受紀律處分。

3. Students should practice internet etiquette (netiquette) at all times. Any gross act or
deed conducted online such as the posting and/or sending of messages with inappropriate
content may subject students to disciplinary actions.

應遵守互聯網禮節，在線上進行的任何粗野行為，例如張貼或發送內容不當的郵件，
都可能受到紀律處分。

4. Students should conduct themselves properly during online classes.

上網課時舉止行為應端正。

a. Students should never take screenshots of their online classes and post the pictures
without the consent of the teacher and all their classmates. Posting pictures of the class
without proper permission is a violation of the Data Privacy Act.
未經老師和所有同學同意，切勿拍攝線上教學的屏幕截圖並予張貼，以免違
反「數據隱私法」。

b. The unauthorized sharing of screens, use of the annotation feature in Zoom, unmuting,
or sending of spam messages in the chat box, etc., are considered offenses that warrant
disciplinary actions.

-- MORE --
 未經授權共用螢幕、使用 Zoom 的註釋功能、取消靜音或在聊天室中發送垃圾郵
件等均被視為應受紀律處分的行為。

5. Students must practice integrity and honesty in accomplishing all their tasks, e.g.,
homework/assignments, learning checkpoints, art projects, etc. Making someone else do the task,
plagiarizing, or practicing other forms of academic dishonesty is considered cheating. Any form
of communication (sending messages, making calls, etc.) with another person during a learning
checkpoint is also considered cheating. Once proven to have committed cheating, students will
be subjected to the appropriate disciplinary action.

應誠實的完成所有的工作（例如作業、研究報告、日記、測驗、定期考試等等），
讓他人代為完成作業、抄襲或以其他不誠實的行為作弊，一旦證明屬實，將受到適當的紀
律處分。

A student must avoid any means of academic dishonesty when it comes to submitting
his/her work. Forms of academic dishonesty include plagiarism, cheating, deception,
impersonation, and fraudulent excuses. Browsing the internet to collect information for an
assignment without properly citing the source or using Google Translate to mask plagiarized
material will also be considered academic dishonesty.

If a student has been proven to have committed any offense, he/she will be subjected to
disciplinary action.
在提交作業時，必須避免任何學術上的不誠實行為。學術上的不誠實行為包括抄
襲、作弊、欺瞞、冒充他人和欺詐性的辯解。沒有正確引用來源或使用 Google 的解釋
說明、瀏覽互聯網抄襲材料以完成作業的，也將被視為學術上的不誠實行為。

Note: Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work or ideas as one's own, with or without his
or her consent, by adding it into one's work without acknowledging the source.
注意：抄襲是在未經他人同意，或在沒有註明來源的情況下，將他人的作品或想法添加
到自己的作品中。

When the assignment requires students to do research work for factual answers, the
students should cite their sources for the answers. A simple way is to cite the book or to copy
and paste the URL of the site where an answer was found.
當作業要求學生做研究工作，以獲得事實的答案時，學生應引證他們的答案來源。
一個簡單的方法是引用一本書，或者複製和粘貼找到答案的網站的網址。

When the assignment requires the student to express an opinion or do creative writing
(e.g., an assignment which requires the student to choose a national hero and to write about this
hero's admirable qualities, a journal entry, a character sketch, etc.), the student must not copy

-- MORE --
the work from a fellow student, a book, the internet, or any other source and pass the work as
his or her own. Doing so is dishonest and will be considered an act of plagiarism and cheating.

當作業要求學生表達意見或進行創造性寫作（例如要求學生選擇一位民族英雄並
寫出他令人欽佩的品質、日記記載、人物短評等）時，學生不得抄襲同學、書籍、互聯
網或任何其他來源的作品作為自己的作品。這樣做是不誠實的，將被視為抄襲和作弊。

Expressing one's opinion and writing creatively are important skills that all students
should develop. These skills involve critical thinking, use of imagination, organization of ideas,
vocabulary and grammar proficiency, among many other competencies. Students should use
every opportunity they have to hone these skills and not waste the chances by copying someone
else's work.
表達自己的意見和創造性地寫作是所有學生都應該發展的重要技能。這些技能包
括批判性思維、想像力的運用、思想的組織、詞彙和語法的熟練，以及許多其他能力。
學生應該利用一切機會磨練這些技能，不要抄襲別人的作品而失去磨練的良機。

Note: For a list of the types of acts that are considered major and minor offenses, please see
the section on Sanctions and Disciplinary Measures in the Appendix.

注：有關被視為重大和輕微違法行為的行為，請參閱附錄中的《制裁和紀律處分辦法》
部分。

II. OTHER IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

其他重要提醒事件：

1. Parents, as well as relatives and other members of the household, are NOT allowed
to join the online class. Parents, relatives, yayas, or any other member of the household should
refrain from joining, listening in, participating, coaching, or making side comments during class.
If parents have questions, they may address these concerns to the class adviser via email.
學生上課時，家長和家人應避免參與、旁聽、教導或評論。如有任何問題，可通過
電子郵件詢問老師。

2. Parents, relatives, yayas, or any other member of the household should refrain from
hovering around, nudging, coaching, criticizing, and scolding students while online classes
are ongoing because these actions may potentially bring embarrassment to students and detract
from the goal of making them effective, independent online learners.

孩子在線上學習時，應避免在他周圍走動，在旁指指點點或批評，因為這些行為會給孩
子感到尷尬，並有損於使他們成為有效、獨立的線上學習者的目標。

-- MORE --
 Parents should encourage their children to learn on their own. After some initial
guidance for younger students, parents should allow students to explore on their own. Children
learn quickly. Allowing them to go about their studies independently will encourage them to
develop responsibility and have confidence in their own decisions. Such developments are
certainly more important than learning new words or any math skill.

家長應該鼓勵孩子自己學習。在為年幼的孩子提供一些初步的指導後，應讓他們自
己去探索。孩子學習是很快的，讓他們獨立進行學習會激勵他們，使他們有責任感和對自
己的決定充滿信心，這樣的發展肯定比學習到新詞語或任何數學技能來得重要。

3. Parents should ensure that their children and all the other members of the household
are aware of online class schedules. This way, students will be ready for class, and the other
members of the family will make way to give them their learning spaces.
家長應確保知道孩子線上學習的時間，使他們能做好上課準備，給他們有學習的空
間。

4. Parents should ensure that each child has a quiet space and the required devices for
learning. The student must have a study nook conducive to learning. As much as possible, the
student must be in a quiet section of the house where he/she can attend synchronous classes alone,
free from distractions from the other members of the household. Students should not be attending
classes while they are not home in their designated learning areas (e.g., travelling in a vehicle,
doing errands, etc.) because they will not be able to concentrate on the lesson and will also be
distracting the attention of other learners.
家長應確保每個孩子都有一個安靜的空間和必要的學習設備，盡可能讓孩子在家中
有一個安靜的地方單獨上網課，以免分心。如果不能在家裡，不能在指定的學習區域，就
不應上課（例如隨家長出遊、出差等等），因為他們無法集中精神上課，也會分散其他學
習者的注意力。

Besides providing their children with the required devices, parents must ensure that these
devices are working well and are kept clean.

除了為孩子提供所需的設備外，還必須確保這些設備運作良好，且保持清潔。

5. Parents should make sure that devices are fully charged or plugged in, especially for
younger learners to avoid interruption during synchronous classes.
家長應確保孩子所需的設備已充滿電或已插入電源，尤其是年幼的孩子，以免學習
中斷。

-- MORE --
6. Parents should ensure that their children are working at the computer in an
ergonomic manner. Students should be sitting up with their backs straight, feet flat on the floor,
and screen adjusted to a comfortable height.

家長應確保孩子坐在電腦前學習時保持適當的姿勢，坐直，腳平放在地上，並把屏
幕調整到適當的高度。

7. Parents should help their children maintain regular study routines. These routines are
especially important for asynchronous learning activities.
家長應幫助孩子持續學習日常的課程，尤其是異步(非同步)學習的活動。

8. Parents should discuss the importance of following school rules with their children.
Doing so helps children realize that the school is their parents’ partner in nurturing and guiding
their development.

家長應給孩子說明遵守校規的重要性，這樣做有助於讓孩子認識到學校是父母培育
和指導他們發展的夥伴。

9. Parents should teach and guide their children about the rules and guidelines for using
gadgets and social media. Parents should do the following:

家長應教導和指導孩子使用器具和社交媒體的規則和指標，請做到下列幾點：

a. monitor what their children are accessing, including websites and media applications
控制孩子收看的內容，包括網站和媒體應用程序

b. establish reasonable but firm rules about the use of gadgets and social media
建立關於器具和社交媒體使用的合理但嚴格的規則

c. encourage children to tell whenever they see anything that is unexpected or that makes
them uncomfortable
鼓勵孩子說出令他們感到不舒服或根本不想看的東西。

10. Parents should ensure that their children have enough sleep and rest so that these
children will not be too tired for schoolwork. All students must stay alert, interested, and focused
during synchronous class time. They must also have enough energy to maintain the excellent
quality of their asynchronous work.

-- MORE --
 家長應確保孩子有足夠的睡眠和休息，這樣他們上課就不會感到太累。所有學生必
須在同步學習時間保持警惕、感興趣和專注。還必須有足夠的精力來保持優良的異步學習
品質。

11. Parents should limit their children's screen time. Doing so allows children to rest their
eyes, mind, and body and to be better prepared for school.

家長應該限制孩子的屏幕時間。這樣做可以讓孩子的眼睛、心靈和身體獲得休息，
並能更好地準備上課。

12. Parents, as well as other members of the household, who might be walking past or
behind students attending online classes, should be aware that they might be caught in the
camera’s view. They should, therefore, dress appropriately to avoid possible embarrassing
situations.

孩子上網課時，家長或家人可能會走經孩子身旁或後面而出現在屏幕上，所以請注
意穿着，以免出現令人難堪的畫面。

13. Parents should refrain from scheduling any other activity for their children during
synchronous class. Parents should set appointments (e.g., clinic visits, leisure activities/trips, etc.)
after class hours, on Saturdays, or at times when there are no school-related activities.
家長應避免在同步上課時間為孩子安排任何其他活動，應安排在課後、週六或學校
沒有相關活動時。

14. Parents should make sure that their children have enough time to take their meal
before synchronous class so that their children avoid the urge to eat in class. Students should pay
full attention to their lessons and class activities and should not be eating while classes are ongoing.

家長應確保孩子在同步上課前有足夠的時間吃飯，以免在課堂上一直想吃東西。學
生應十分地注意他們的課程和課堂活動，不應在上課時吃東西。

15. Parents must address internet/connectivity issues or technical problems that their
children bring to their attention immediately. A reliable and stable connection, as well as a
working microphone and camera, is necessary for online learning success. Parents should do their
best to help their children have a stress-free and effective online learning experience.

-- MORE --
 家長必須立即處理孩子的互聯網連接或技術問題。可靠穩定的連接以及運作良好的
麥克風和攝像頭是在線學習成功所必需的。家長應盡最大努力讓孩子獲得沒壓力和有效的
在線學習體驗。

16. Parents should help their children keep track of the submission deadlines for learning
checkpoints and other requirements and remind them to submit work on time. Parents
should also help their children take note of and remember long quiz schedules so that their children
do not miss any important quiz.

家長應幫助孩子注意學習檢查和其他要求的提交截止日期，並提醒他們按時提交作
業。家長還應幫助孩子記住測驗時間表，這樣他們就不會錯過任何重要的測驗。

PART THREE: MAINTAINING CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE

SCHOOL
第三部分: 經常與學校保持聯繫

1. Parents will be asked to fill out an online form with the student’s information to
update each learner’s file. This form will be sent through an email and should be accomplished
properly by making sure that all information that will be provided is true, complete, and accurate.

學習檢查（LC）（學習測試）

Long Quizzes (LQ) 25%

測驗

There will be no extensions after each deadline. Failure to submit any homework, LC, or LQ on
or before the deadline will mean no credit or a grade of 60%.

每個截止日期將不延長。未能在截止日期或之前提交作業、學習檢查或測驗將意味著不能
得分數或只能得 60 分。

Because of the greater emphasis on class participation and asynchronous work this year than
in the previous years when we had full face-to-face learning, students are encouraged to take part
in their synchronous classes actively and to do their assigned tasks diligently.
由於今年對班級參與和異步課程更為重視，因此鼓勵學生積極參與課堂活動並認真
完成異步課程所分配的任務。

Teachers will continue to keep records of numerical grades for the computation of the general
average at the end of the school year.
在學年結束時，教師將繼續保留數字成績的記錄，以計算總平均成績。

II. ALL NONACADEMIC SUBJECTS

所有非學術科目

For nonacademic subjects, students will receive one of the following grades:
對於非學術科目，學生將獲得以下成績之一：

Performance Level Code Description Numerical

表現等級代碼 說明 Grade
數字等級

For education to be meaningful and effective, the school must ensure the holistic
development of each child and see to it that the child grows not only academically but also
physically, socially, and emotionally. In compliance with Department of Education Order No. 36,
the school has included all the grades from nonacademic subjects such as PE, health, music, art,
writing, character education, and computer/TLE in the computation of every student’s general
average since 2017. By emphasizing the importance of these nonacademic subjects, the school
hopes that students will not just focus on academics but will also realize how much healthier and
balanced their development will be if they also spend time on extracurricular interests.
為了使教育有意義和有效，學校必須確保每個孩子的整體發展，不僅在學業上有所
增長成長，而且在身體、社會和情感上都能成長。根據教育部第 36 號指令，自 2017 年
以來，學校已將體育、健康、音樂、藝術、寫作和性格教育、電腦等學科的所有成績都納
入總平均值的計算中。學校強調這些非學術科目的重要性，希望學生不僅關注學術，而且
會意識到，如果也花時間在課外活動上，他們的發展將會更健康和平衡。

Students should not overlook the importance of nonacademic subjects and should
continue to do all assigned tasks from these subjects regularly and
conscientiously. Nonsubmission of the requirements for these subjects would mean receiving
failing marks that would seriously affect the general average of each student. The grades
from these nonacademic subjects may be the very factor that can determine a student’s
overall performance for the school year. All students should, therefore, devote time and
attention to doing and turning in the assigned tasks from their nonacademic subjects.

-- MORE --
 學生不應忽視非學術科目的重要性，而應繼續真正地和認真地完成所有分配的作業。
不提交作業，成績就會不及格，將嚴重影響到總平均成績。這些非學術科目的成績可能是
決定學生本學年整體表現的因素。因此，所有學生都應該把時間和精力投入到完成非學術
科目所安排的任務上。

PART FIVE: PROMOTION AND RETENTION

第五部分:升留級

1. A student who has a failing final average in English will not be promoted to the next level.

5. A student who fails in the general average (average of all subjects at the end of the school
year) will not be promoted to the next level.

6. The school does not recognize the results obtained from Philippine Education Placement
Test (PEPT) as a basis for promoting a student to the next grade level. A student may only be
promoted to a higher grade level upon completing all academic, attendance, and other requirements
as outlined in this handbook.

-- MORE --
 學校不承認從菲律賓教育分班考試(PEPT)獲得的結果作為升級的依據。學生只有

 操行優良獎也不頒發，因為學生的表現需要在面對面一起學習時，親自觀察才能證
實。

APPENDIX

A. School Profile
1. Its Founder
Uno High School is the realization of Don Domingo Yu Chu’s lifetime dream. In his late
middle age, a prominent Filipino businessman and philanthropist of Chinese ancestry, he
envisioned founding a school to educate the youth. In his opinion, he would be doing his bit in
contributing to the molding of the youth into better citizens of the country. He saw a school that
will be a place where pupils can acquire a keen understanding of values and a vivid sense of the
beautiful and morally good. Thus, in June of 1960, the school became operational emphasizing on
the following: (1) strict discipline and proper conduct, (2) academic excellence, and (3) charity.

-- MORE --
2. Etymology and Symbolism
The name Uno High School was chosen because it denotes a school of quality, that is,
“numero uno.” The logo of Uno High School consists of the symbol for “meihua,” the national
flower of the Republic of China. This flower is a symbol of endurance for hardships and resilience
in times of trials, since this flower can endure wintertime, during which it ironically blooms in
abundance. The triangle represents the three facets of Uno High School’s mission, namely: (1)
discipline, (2) academic and leadership excellence, (3) charity. The Chinese name of the school is
printed in the center – “Shang Yi,” which means “one” and hence, the name Uno High School.
Above the logo is the complete name of the school, “Shang Yi Zhong Xue,” and below the logo is
the English name, Uno High School. The school colors are blue and white, blue for the dignity of
purpose which students are taught to live for and white for the virtues of kindness, gentility, and
diligence infused into their hearts.

3. History and Achievements

1960 ushered in a decade of revolutionary philosophies, outrageous art movements, and
life-altering technology. On the local front, a period of relative peace and hard-earned prosperity
had prompted the Chinese-Filipino community to focus on the importance of successfully
assimilating into Philippine society, bolstering respect, increasing contribution, and safeguarding
economic and cultural interests. Prominent businessman Don Domingo Yu Chu understood that
the answer to a secure and promising future lies in our youth and that, more importantly, the key
to raising an upstanding, conscientious, and productive crop of young men and women is education.
His foresight paved the way for Uno High School, an institution whose very name suggests what
it is meant to be -- the best school for the Chinese-Filipino youth.

Located in the heart of the city, Uno stood proud amidst the roster of other illustrious and
established Chinese-Filipino schools. Under the able guidance of highly esteemed cardiologist Dr.
Jose Yu Siek Pong, Uno set out to do its task with passion and dedication. Its sense of purpose
strong, its pool of talents and resources more than ample, Uno never had faltering unsure steps,
only big bold strides marked by confidence and determination. From the very start, Uno provided
a safe, healthy environment conducive to academic pursuits, wholesome interaction, and values
formation. With the total well-being of its students as its foremost consideration, Uno put emphasis
not only on intellectual enrichment but more so on character development. Uneans are to grow up
equipped not only with relevant know-how but also, more importantly, with a pride and love for
learning that they take with them for the rest of their lives. Uneans are meant to be not only law-
abiding citizens but also, more significantly, leaders and pillars of the community to be emulated
and admired.

By the seventies, Uno High School had firmly established its reputation as one of the best
schools in the country. With its first-rate faculty and intensive as well as extensive academic
programs, Uno challenged its students and brought out their best. Aside from its rigorous curricula,
Uno became synonymous with strict discipline, and credit for this should go to that
principal/disciplinarian/father figure whom every Unean regards with a mix of awe and fondness
– Dr. Yu. His booming voice, his ubiquitous presence filled the school halls, and nobodyescaped
his watchful attention. It is his philosophy and outlook that largely shaped and continue to shape
the core values of the school. Dr. Yu imposed discipline, honesty, kindness, modesty, cleanliness,
and respect as a way of life for every Unean. He dinned upon his students to “pick up pieces of

-- MORE --
paper” and “to make sure the classroom is clean before [they] leave the school.” His concern for
his students’ health and safety extended beyond the school walls, and every Unean without
exception can still recall his nearly daily reminders: “Your attention, please. Please listen
attentively to my announcement. Do not loiter in the street corners. Do not buy food from the
sidewalk vendors. Do not wear expensive jewelry to school….” Come Christmas time, the school
would become a warmer, homier place every time he crooned “I’m dreaming of a white
Christmas…” and uttered his favorite saying, “Christmas is more meaningful when we share our
blessings with the poor.” Charity and kindness, probably the greatest of all human virtues,
complete the persona of the true blue Unean. The ability for selfless love and genuine altruistic
concern for humanity remains an ideal that all Uneans continue to strive for. During the seventies
when the country suffered from political turmoil and a seemingly endless string of economic crises,
Uno remained a microcosm of what the world should be – a place of decency and respect.

In the eighties, Uneans continued to ride high on the crest of success. Uno graduates had
set themselves apart with their impressive academic achievements as they continued to garner
honors in prestigious universities and top government exams. By this time, the Unean character
had become clearly defined. Uneans are proud of their school and education. After all, the
readiness with which they tell others about their school is often met with professions of much
admiration and good impression. They cultivate deep, meaningful friendships with peers. The
relatively small school population has brought an affinity and familiarity among students that allow
them to truly care and draw strength from one another. This unity of spirit becomes evident
especially during interscholastic events. The perennial champion Uno cheering squad has always
rallied behind its team, be it in victory or defeat. Uneans regard their teachers with respect and
their fellow students with solicitude. The Uno CAT cadets may be much wanting in combat skills,
but they are at their best helping their teachers and caring for their younger schoolmates. Uneans
constantly strive for excellence and are not daunted by challenges. The basketball team may not
always win gold, but no other team tries harder or conducts itself with more dignity. Most of all,
Uneans love their school and everything it stands for. The loyalty medal presented upon graduation
is regarded as a precious memento, for it is a symbol of hard work rewarded and a truly meaningful
education attained.

In its thirtieth year, Uno celebrated in grand fashion with its very first formal alumni
homecoming and the inauguration of its alumni association. The school wall dedicated to awards
and honors garnered by the alumni hardly had any space left. Many of the alumni had also gone
on to become leaders in industry and other professions. Dr. Yu himself had been cited as an
outstanding alumnus by both UST and San Beda and a papal awardee for his work in the fields of
education and humanitarian service. Uno even won a much-coveted championship in the Tiong
Lian basketball games in the last decade. Indeed, there was much to celebrate.

Vigorous efforts for modernization largely characterized the 1990’s. Fresh new blood
infused into the faculty complemented the experience and expertise of seasoned mentors. The
curriculum was also strengthened by more innovative teaching methods. New athletics programs
allowed more diversity and served individual interests. The new computer lab and playhouse, the
refurbished science lab, library, classrooms, and gym were all designed to take the school to the
twenty-first century. The school realized that constant upgrading and improvement were necessary
for education to be truly relevant and useful.

-- MORE --
 Uneans suffered a great loss in 1997 with the demise of Dr. Yu. His passage brought
together thousands of Uneans to the school gym, where they mourned, comforted one another, and
vowed to carry on the legacy left behind by their beloved principal. By turning grief into positive
determination, the school continued its relentless effort to bring quality education to the young.
With Mrs. Angie Yu-Pineda taking over the helm, the school maintained its direction and forged
ahead with even more fervor and dedication.

Uno’s fortieth anniversary coincided with the turn of the millennium. Uno’s faculty,
students, staff, and alumni put out all the stops to mark this milestone. A year-long celebration
which included exciting interscholastic competitions, educational exhibits, fun-filled programs,
poignant reunions, and other activities brought the Unean community even closer than before.
Many of those whose lives were touched by Uno came together to remember and thank the founder
and the former principal, bring back memories of happy and trying times, and most importantly,
reaffirm the school’s commitment to quality education and service to the community.

Uno started its nursery program in June 2006 and its senior high program in June 2015.

And now at 63, Uno has obviously done well. There is much reason why Uneans swell with
pride every time they make references to their educational background. Uno students and graduates
have constantly garnered academic and professional successes. They have been instilled with the
discipline necessary to deal with life’s many trials and challenges. They also know the importance
of maintaining standards, ideals, and values despite being in an environment so lacking in all three.
If this tradition of excellence is any indication of what Uno’s future will be, then there is no doubt
that Uneans will continue to shine. Uno’s proud history, its vital ethos of academic and leadership
excellence, discipline, and charity, and finally, its resolve to provide modern and relevant education
-- all these can only lead to a future as resplendent, as glorious as the past, if not more.

4. School Philosophy

Vision Statement

Uno is an institution renowned for education professionals who work harmoniously toward
the goal of producing responsible and productive community leaders by equipping them with
essential skills, knowledge, and values. It is a place conducive to holistic learning for the student
of the 21st century and a venue where teachers and parents work hand in hand.

Mission Objectives

1. to inculcate in students desirable moral and social values within a constructive environment in
order that they may contribute positively to society
2. to promote in students a positive self-image by developing their social, communication, and
leadership skills
3. to nurture and reinforce in students positive work ethics so as to enable them to strive for the
highest possible standard for themselves in their personal and public lives

-- MORE --
4. to promote the holistic development of students by providing a well-balanced education
5. to foster lifelong love for and pride in learning among teachers and students

Underlying Assumptions of the School’s Mission

When Don Domingo Yu Chu founded Uno High School, he had in mind a school that
would provide an education that develops in the student the character and the personality that
would make an effective builder of the community, a dynamic and useful member of society, and
a responsible citizen. The mission, therefore, as envisioned by its founder, had to be centered on
the following underlying assumptions.

A. Discipline

An individual’s natural or inherent attitudes and habits must be properly guided and
organized in order that s/he can become a beneficial member of society. Without proper guidance
and strict supervision, the untrained young individual grows into a self-centered and unconcerned
person, eventually leading to a society composed of uncaring individuals. Scholastic supervision,
as a supplement to home training, must strictly emphasize the need for proper and strong discipline.

B. Academic and Leadership Excellence

Because of the knowledge boom, there is an unlimited amount of information to be learned

and ideas to be imbibed by anyone who wishes to be an educated individual. To become an
efficient contributor to society’s development and progress, an individual must strive to learn and
assimilate, to a certain extent, these information and ideas. Undoubtedly, scholastic education is
one effective means for a person to be an effective contributor in society. Aside from being
productive members of society, students must also be given necessary training to hone their
leadership skills and mold them into responsible individuals.

C. Charity

Humans are social beings who must be consistently aware of their neighbors’ needs. Also,
they have to appreciate their own blessings and must be readily willing to share these with their
less fortunate brothers and sisters. In school, generosity and charity are virtues that must be
nurtured.

5. Dr. Jose Yu Siek Pong

Dr. Jose Yu Siek Pong (Dec. 12, 1925 - June 26, 1997) was Uno High School’s principal
for thirty-seven years. He gave up a brilliant career as a cardiologist to devote himself to a lifetime
of educating young people and spurring them on to meaningful lives. Taking upon himself the
monumental task of fulfilling his father’s dream, Dr. Yu became the indefatigable principal of Uno
for more than thirty years. It is his spirit and philosophy that have shaped the dynamics of Uno
High School. Although he was a strict disciplinarian, his determination to know all his students
and his unfailing concern for their welfare had earned him not only the respect and awe of all

B. Rules and Guidelines for Students

Section 1:
General Rules and Directives:
1.1 All students should familiarize themselves with the contents of this handbook and should
strictly comply with all its provisions. This manual contains all pertinent academic and service
information that serves as the main source of guidance and reference to all students. Besides
this handbook, the student is also expected to consult other channels of information such as
bulletin boards, postings, handouts, messages through the public announcement system (PAS),
the school newsletter, and the school social media accounts (Twitter and Facebook).
1.2 All students should show courtesy and politeness to all members of the school community,
including security personnel, as well as school visitors. In dealing with all members of the
school community, students are expected to observe the usual norms of politeness, etiquette,
and courtesy. Faculty members, administrators, staff members, or security/maintenance

nonsubmission of assignments or projects, etc.) and the impending consequences of failure lie
with the student. Notices thereof that may be sent by the school to parents/guardians are
merely for courtesy. They do not relieve the student of the obligation to keep
parents/guardians informed of his/her status and/or standing in school. Hence, ignorance of
said student’s status on the part of the parents/guardians shall not be imputed to the school
authorities, nor are the latter to be held responsible for such ignorance.
1.6 All Grade One to Grade Ten students in the hybrid program are required to wear the prescribed
school uniform on campus with dignity and propriety. Students who fail to wear their IDs and
school pins and students who fail to tuck in their shirts/blouses will not be allowed to enter the

In-person and online classes in all levels are automatically cancelled in schools situated
in LGUs where the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHILVOCS)
declare an earthquake with PHILVOCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS) V or above.
Local Chief Executives shall decide on the cancellation or suspension of classes in cases
where the PEIS is IV and below. The school director can cancel classes at any Intensity
Scale if in her assessment, buildings and other structures are seen to be in danger of
collapsing or is found to have major damage. The School Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management (DRRM) Team Head should clear the return of students and personnel in
buildings and other structures.
1.9.5 In cases when the DepEd gives the school the discretion on the suspension of classes,
official announcements shall be posted at the main gate of the school, announced through
social networking sites, and/or made through the public address system (PAS).
1.10 For school security reasons, all students from Grade One to Grade Ten should be out of the
school by 1:00 p.m. while Grade Eleven and Grade Twelve students should be out of school
by 3:30 p.m. unless they have school sports practices or are authorized by a written permit
from the Office of the Disciplinarian. The student concerned will submit this written permit
to the security personnel. The school waiting area will be closed and should be vacated by

-- MORE --
 students by 3:30 p.m. Moreover, unless authorized by the school, students are not allowed
to enter school premises on Sundays and school holidays. Violation of this rule shall be a
ground for the school to impose the appropriate sanctions or fines.
1.11 The school acknowledges the right of all students to equal access to available school space.
Benches and tables in school meant for students shall be accessible to all who wish to use
them on a principle of right by physical presence. It is understood that students will occupy
only the space they need. The School acknowledges no permanent “reservation right.”
1.12 All students are expected to act properly, whether on or off school premises, showing respect
for proper authority, for the right of fellow students, and for the good name of the school.
1.13 Students should follow the usual classroom policies and procedures as well as those pre-set
by the teacher. The latter should have been communicated to and accepted by the students.
Students who violate these policies may be sent to the guidance office or be given sanctions
by the faculty member. Persistent occurrences of this type of behavior render the student
liable to being asked by the School Discipline Board to discontinue education in the school.
1.14 Students in the elementary level are advised to rest their heads on the desk while waiting for
the teachers. Silence and order should be maintained at all times, especially in entering and
leaving the classrooms and during class hours whether the teacher is present or absent.
Students are encouraged to conduct proper evacuation during emergency cases.
1.15 Any report of a student who has displayed unbecoming behavior automatically brings about
an inquiry by the prefect of discipline.
1.16 Any action or behavior by students which tends to distract other students from ongoing classes
is to be avoided. Students are not allowed to loiter along the corridors or talk to any of the
teachers in the classroom while classes are going on. During class hours, students should
always be attentive and cooperative and should refrain from doing or saying things that have
nothing to do with the lesson. Students are not allowed to change their seats permanently
without the approval of the prefect of discipline. Frequent violation of this rule will lead to
appropriate disciplinary actions.
1.17 Bulletin boards, blackboard, whiteboards, chalk, overhead projectors, and pens are to be used
only for instructional purposes and official announcements from school authorities. Audio-
visual equipment may be borrowed for use only within the school premises.
1.18 Anyone who wishes to use certain rooms or facilities for some activities should put in a written
request to the prefect of discipline at least two days before the scheduled activity.
1.19 Students are expected to replace or pay for any damage that they cause to school property.
Notwithstanding this payment, the school may still impose the necessary sanctions against
the erring student.
1.20 Students may not use the administration’s and faculty’s bulletin boards for personal messages.
Alteration and tampering of official notices by students unauthorized to do so is cause for
disciplinary action as prescribed in Section 4.5.
1.21 It is considered unethical for any student to make any unfavorable remark towards another,
including sexist remarks. Areas exclusively used by men/women which are marked
accordingly (ladies’ and men’s rooms) are off limits to the opposite sex.
1.22 The school officials encourage healthy interaction among students. However, public display
of physical intimacy among students is not tolerated and is subject to disciplinary action as
prescribed in Section 4.5 of this handbook.
1.23 Homework, seatwork, laboratory reports, and papers are expected to be the student’s own
work.

-- MORE --
1.24 The school requires the faculty to get the students’ schedule of practice within the school
premises (during holidays, weekends, and school days) for any activity (plays, dance
practice, projects, etc.) to ensure the safety of students. This will be countersigned by the
parents/guardians for information purposes.
1.25 Students afflicted with contagious diseases (e.g., chicken pox, measles, mumps, sore eyes,
etc.) are not allowed to come to school either to attend classes or to take tests.
1.26 Students should not leave their personal items or school materials (e.g., water bottles, lunch
boxes, school bags, projects, etc.) in school and should bring all of their belongings home at
the end of every school day.
1.27 The school strongly advises students against wearing pieces of jewelry or leaving personal
items of value (e.g., wallets or purses with money, watches, mobile phones, etc.) inside the
school bags. Parents should, therefore, keep their children from bringing such expensive
items to school or leaving their things unattended. If students do bring valuable items to
school, they are responsible for the security of those items at all times. The school will not
be held liable for the loss or damage of the students’ personal belongings or valuables.
