Dear Brent family,

September is ending with a blast as we celebrated Career Week with a lot of inspiration and exploration!

Also, as Midsemester Reports were released today, we encourage all our students to reflect on their learning journey thus far and approach the rest of the semester with knowing what works, what needs to be improved on and what support they need so that they can finish Semester 1 with their best effort! Our Midsemester Reports and Parent Teacher Conferences (PTCs) on October 4, Monday are part of the many best practices that we have towards building strong relationships and supporting student learning and growth. We would like our families to take this opportunity to receive and give meaningful and personalized feedback as well as identify next steps or set goals. We look forward to our parents and students attending our PTCs!

Below are some more updates:

1. CAREER WEEK:

We have made the videos of the Career Talks available for your viewing by accessing the links below using your child’s brentbaguio email account. Our Career Dress-Up padlet competition is still ongoing until 6:00PM this evening. Our judges will view the submissions and will decide on a winner in each grade level to be featured in the school website.

A huge thank you to all our students, parents, and teachers and staff for making this year’s celebration a success! Thank you and congratulations to Mrs. Abbey Diwas for all the planning and coordination for this year’s successful Career Week!
