Rules & Regulations

1 Attendance

 

In a learning environment characterized by independent learning and reduced direct instructional time with the teacher, the school and home partnership are more important than ever. The parents/guardians play a vital role in the success of online learning by providing a home atmosphere that is safe, secure, and conducive to the cognitive growth of our students.

​

Attendance responsibilities are shared by students, parents/guardians, and the school staff.

 

Attendance will be measured on a daily basis. Attendance in distance learning is defined as evidence of "engaging with the assigned material” at least one time per day.

​

• Evidence of attendance will be monitored by any of the following ways (including, but not limited to):

• Campus Management Log-in – MS Teams attendance

• Attendance generated by the Teacher

• Record of the assignments submitted due on that day

• Shared ideas on the LMS – Teams chat

• Participation in the online discussion

• Participation in the activity

• Participation during scheduled related services

• Phone call/email with the teacher or Related Services provider

 

• If a student will not be able to participate in any learning activities of the day, a parent/guardian can send an email 7 to inform the Class Adviser using the official email account of the school through MS Outlook. A CC should be set for the hsprefect@ pcs.edu.ph using absent - attendance as the subject.

 

Absence will only be considered excused when:

• the household does not have access to any device or Wi-Fi

• the student has technical difficulties or questions related to hardware and software platforms, or power/internet disruption

• the student is unable to engage in digital work due to sickness or any valid unforeseen emergencies.

 

• Student’s absence is considered unexcused when:

• he/she does not participate in any part of the learning activities for the day,

• he/she has not checked in with the teacher, and

• the student’s parent/guardian does not contact the teacher.
   

• Attendance is measured on a whole day basis with four subjects per day. Absence per subject is equivalent to 0.25. In case, there are 3 subjects only in a day and the student is absent the whole day, the secretary will mark him/her absent in the last or 4th subject to make it a whole day. When a student is absent only in the afternoon with only one subject left, it is considered a half-day absence.

 

• A student who timed in beyond 10 minutes in his/her subject is considered tardy.

 

•Twenty-four (24) tardiness within the grading period shall be considered a violation. Thus, a grade of C+ will be given to the student.

 

• Tardiness and failure to attend the morning ceremonies for 10 times or more in a quarter will result in a B- in the conduct. Twenty (20) times or more will be given a C+ in the conduct.
