Dear students, It is with joy and pleasure that I am welcoming everyone in this School Year 2021-2022! For almost two years now, the world has been exponentially affected by the pandemic caused by the destructive virus, but with our aspiration to provide continuous and quality education, there is no any kind of hurdle that can surmount our quest for excellence. For this year, we are accommodating the Hybrid setup of learning where students will both experience coming to school and staying at home while learning. True enough, this can post a different kind of challenge for all of us but what matters is, you keep your heads on the game by keeping in mind the class schedule, submitting the requirements, and fulfilling the entrusted responsibilities. This is a new school year, a new beginning, and -new hope. May this year be one of the best ones and may it prepare you for the tougher battles that are in store for you outside its walls. For now, I am wishing you the best and sweetest good luck, my dear students! See you around and may the best opportunities knock on our doors!

Hello! I am Ms. Rose Ann Franco, and I am really excited to be here and get
to meet everyone.
I have been an ELA teacher in the Philippines for nine years, but right now, I work with Gifted and Talented students. It is something that is new to me, but I am looking forward to it. I have so much to learn, and I can’t wait to share it with everyone, especially to my dear students. I also do SIPPS, and it is really something that is close to my heart – to help students learn how to read. This year, I hope everyone has a lot of fun while learning.
Let’s have a great year together!
