not to send their children to school
should check for media advisories

warnings, parents have the ultimate
responsibility for determining whether
their children should go to school.
The required number of school days for the
school year shall be considered especially in
holding make-up classes to offset the days
when classes are suspended.

or on weekdays beyond the originally-set
school calendar in both public and private
schools.
