ATTENDANCE OF STUDENTS

Under the new learning modality that will be used by APCAS and considering the present
predicament of our school’s stakeholders, the twenty (20) percent maximum number of
days of absences in Virtual Class and in the Learning Platform is WAIVED.

Hence, in pursuit of student’s academic development and taking into consideration the
availability of strong internet connection as well as the tools they need to attend the
schedule of virtual classes, APCAS shall observe and promote flexibility in the
implementation of Online Classes and Modular Learning Modality.

However, consecutive and prolonged absences in the chosen learning modality shall
merit a PTC to discuss the concerns and problems of the student/pupil. The office of the
Principal will send an update on the attendance of your children on a weekly basis, every
Monday of the week, to cover the past week of school days.
