Discussions with the City Traffic Management about the impact on traffic of the pick-up and drop-off points are currently being pursued by the University Security in coordination with the undersigned.
III. STRICT COMPLIANCE of DepEd ORDER NO. 11, S. 2011 section 159 on
CAMPUS SECURITY
The above order stipulates that “only bonafide students of the school shall be allowed in the school campus. NO VISITORS, including parents, guardians or tutors shall be allowed inside the campus during and after school hours except for valid reasons with prior approval of the Unit Head”. The University shall strictly implement this order.
IV. STUDENTS’ RECESS AND LUNCH GUIDELINES
Without disregard to the compliance of the above DepEd order, a special school arrangement is designed for the lunch needs of grades I–III students.
- ONE (1) ADULT (parent/guardian/yaya) will be allowed to assist his/her child/ward during lunch in the student’s respective classroom from 11:00 to 12:00 for grades I & II and 11:30 to 12:30 for grade III.
It is necessary that complete lunch meal be prepared by the parents as access to canteen for purchase of food/drinks will not be allowed for the parent/guardian/yaya.
- Grades IV to VI – Students in these levels are encouraged to take their lunch by themselves in their respective classrooms with their respective moderators.
- Homeroom Recess for Grade I to III – Students in these levels must come to school bringing with them their food for recess.
We hope for your full cooperation on the above guidelines for a safe, secure, orderly and conducive campus for optimum learning for your children.
