Manual)
5. POLICIES ON THE USE OF COMMUNICATION & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

 All students are expected to uphold the values and ideals of the school and act with genuine
respect for themselves and others wherever they may be – within the school, outside the school,
and online. All should be mindful of their actions that could tarnish the school’s good name even
when using social media.

 In general, mobile phones and other electronic gadgets are not allowed to be used in school

phones and tablets during breaks, recess, or lunch.

 Each session begins with a one-minute silence signaled by the school bell. During the silence

period.

class officer should immediately inform the Academic Coordinator of the teacher’s absence. The

and other class officers present should be responsible in maintaining class discipline until a
substitute teacher arrives.
6.3. BEHAVIOR DURING CLASS SESSIONS

 Students should pay attention and actively participate during classroom sessions to help create an
atmosphere conducive to learning. Knowing when to listen actively and when to speak up can help

stand, or leave their seats unless the teacher permits them or instructs them to do so.

compromises the safety or security of the whole class. In which case, they should be assisted by
the nearest security personnel to proceed to the Office of the Principal together with the adviser,
academic coordinator or subject teacher.
7. STUDENTS WHO GET PREGNANT OUT OF MARRIAGE

Republic Act 9710 or Magna Carta of Women Section 13 or the Equal Access and Elimination of
Discrimination in Education, Scholarships and Training prohibit schools from expelling or
refusing female students and members of their faculty who get pregnant outside of marriage.
 Therefore, any student who gets pregnant in the middle of the semester or school year will still be
accepted and shall continue her education;
 No one is allowed to bully the concern student and will be sanctioned if there is.
 A medical certificate should be submitted to the academic coordinator if the student is fit to
continue her education in case she has a sensitive pregnancy and for adjustment of her activities
in class.
 If the student has a sensitive pregnancy, a home-study program shall be arranged with her.
Therefore, all teachers shall prepare activities and lessons for the student.

 In the event that the student gave birth, the subject teachers shall give due considerations to the
student and shall prepare a module of activities and make class for the concern student.
