Dear Parents/ Guardians,
Good day to you all! I hope you are all doing well and in high spirits.
We are pleased to announce the start of House Activities this September 8, THURSDAY.
These will be the practices for the pep rally every Thursday (September 8, 15, 22, 29, and October 6). Please note the following times:

Please refer to the schedule of venues below.
If you (parents, guardians) are present during the rehearsals, you may take your children home from the venue. Otherwise, they will be brought to the pick-up area.

Parent Support Session for Grade 12 parents:
You are invited to our Parent Support Session on September 6th from 3:15 to 4:15 pm for a talk on Supporting Your Child in Grade 12. This will be hosted by myself and Almae Caluya (Guidance Counselor).
This is an important event for all Grade 12 parents. Information gained from the presentations and discussions will help us understand the workload and context of our seniors, gather ideas on how to best support them, and be prepared for their college applications.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, September 6th!
