Are mascots allowed during the 30-minute birthday celebrations in class?

No. The department allows simple birthday celebration only which may include candle blowing, picture taking with the celebrant, food distiribution, and eating.

Are parents allowed to stay inside the classroom when their child is celebrating his/her birthday?

Parents may bring food and take family picture, but they are not allowed to stay the whole recess/party time.

Can the school provide a waiting area for parents who drop-off or pick-up their children?

There are designated areas where parents can drop off/pick-up their children. Access to these areas is 15 minutes before classes start and within 15 minutes after class dismissal.

What consideration can be given to parents who bring their children earlier than the designated drop-off times?

The safety of the children is the topmost priority of the department, hence, no child must be left alone without an adult supervision. Parents should make personal arrangements with the class adviser if the child will be brought to school earlier than 15 minutes before the start of classes.

Why are parents not permitted to bring their other children (infants and toddlers) or additional family members to attend special school events like the Moving Up Ceremony and Thanksgiving Day?

Bringing of toddlers and infants to big events in school is not allowed to ensure everyone’s safety, to maintain order and the solemnity called for by some occasions. Crowded environments can pose safety risks for little ones, who may find the event overwhelming. The seating capacity of the venue is another major consideration.

What is CRP? Is CRP for free?
