2. Feedback on the MMC Program- With a full month of school in, we continue to be curious about how our MMC program has been going for us all.

One way that can help us reflect on this question is through your feedback. The feedback form was sent out today. This will help us know our STRENGTHS, our CHALLENGES and OPPORTUNITIES (solutions). We have four (4) questions for you on our MMC program. Please answer these as best you can. This form will be open until Thursday, September 23.

3.  Midsemester Reports and Parent Teacher Conference. Please mark your calendars for the following:

The release of Midsemester Reports will be on Friday, October 1. This will be accessible and downloadable through BASIS.

Parent Teacher Conferences will be on Monday, October 4 starting at 8a.m.

We will be sending out an online PTC sign up sheet for each teacher to facilitate easy scheduling.

More details to follow next week.

4. Grades/Progress marks on BASIS- Leading to the release of the Midsemester reports and the PTCs, we encourage our parents and students to check their student’s progress on BASIS regularly. Parents/guardians will have been receiving follow up emails on students who have missing work from faculty.

Kindly note that in order to give accurate feedback, we instituted the following for students in Grades 4-12:

  1. The  use of ‘M’ is used for marking MISSING work for students. These marks are seen on BASIS and not on the Mid Semester Report.

  2. Using an ‘M’  when computing the running grade has a significant impact on the average grade.

Here are instructions on how to access student grades/comments on BASIS.

If you have any trouble logging into your parent portal account or student portal account, please don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Kurt Salvador via email at: Kurt Salvador <kurt.salvador@brentbaguio.edu.ph>.

5.  Also, we look forward to our upcoming activities
