Should parents be informed when a

student is late in class?

Yes. The class adviser should inform parents that

their child is late in class. He/She should make an
effort to find out why the student is late. In the same
way, the student and his/her parents should have the

initiative to inform the class adviser the reason for
this. Communication may be done via text message,

phone call, or email. The homeroom adviser should
check the e-SAMS at the end of the day to identify

those students who were late in each class. In the
same way, the subject teachers should ensure that

the e-SAMS is updated every day.

What are valid excuses for a student’s

absence with the current online setup?

The following may be considered as valid excuses: (a)

poor internet connectivity - verified with parents; (b)
electronic device is not working - verified with
parents; (c) sick or not feeling well - with excuse

letter or note from parents; (d) death in the family -
with excuse letter or note from parents.
