Week of September 22–27, 2025

Dear Brent Community,

Thank you for another week filled with leadership, creativity, and school spirit. From NHS inductions to Pep Rally practices and our Grade 12 EE workshop, it has been inspiring to see our community living out Brent values through commitment and collaboration.

Weather Advisory

PAGASA forecasts Tropical Storm Nando (Ragasa) early next week (Sept. 22 Monday–23 Tuesday). For the safety of our community, we are monitoring conditions closely. Given the forecast, it is likely that we will not hold in person or synchronous online classes. Faculty have been asked to prepare learning packets for possible asynchronous learning. Please stay tuned for official updates via email, website and the PTA phone tree.(Advisory sources: PAGASA Advisory and the Baguio City Public Information Office.)
