Mula kay Gng Fermin,

Para sa minamahal kong mga mag-aaral mula sa Charm, Gluon, Muon, at Tau

Wala akong anumang malakihang gawaing iiwan para sa mga araw ng suspensiyon ng klase. Ang mga pangkat na nakatanggap na ng kani-kanilang maikling kuwento ay maaaring magpatuloy sa pagbasa at pagsusuri nito. Ang mga pangkat na hindi nakatanggap ng kani-kanilang maikling kuwento dala ng dagliang suspensiyon ng klase dala na rin ng agarang pangangailangan ng paaralan na magsarang panandali upang mapanatili tayong lahat na ligtas at malusog ay walang dapat ipag-alala. Ang lahat ay nakaplano na sa inyong pagbabalik sa Pisay. Tatanggap kayo ng karampatang gawain na angkop sa ating sitwasyon.
Ako ang bubuo ng mga aksiyon at programang pangklase na tutugon sa mga nawalang araw sa atin. Ang bawat gawaing ito ay sinisigurado kong patas, naaayon sa ating pangangailangan at may sapat na konsiderayon para sa kahingian ng iba pa ninyong assignatura.
Makakatulong na tingnan ang “purple sheet” na ibinigay ng guro sa klase. Ang pinakamabuti ninyong magagawa ay magbalik-tanaw ukol sa iyong mga ala-alang pangkasaysayan ukol sa ating mga ninuno hanggang sa pananakop ng mga Kastila (na inaral ninyo noong First Year). At ang pinakamahalaga ay mapanatili ninyong malusog ang inyong mga sarili at malayo sa anumang sakit. Pinili kong di tumugon sa anumang mensaheng elektroniko. Magkita-kita na lamang tayo sa pagbubukas muli ng Pisay!

Ang inyong guro,

Ginang Flor E. Fermin

Post from PSHS Website

We would like the community to know the reasons behind the new 2-weeks suspension of classes. Classes were previously suspended for 3 days from July 8-10. The reason behind this is that many students were getting sick. We had 94 students who were absent the week previous to this suspension who came back and reported that the reason behind their absence is an influenza-like illness.   Of those who were present 69 consulted the school physician complaining about influenza-like symptoms. The day before the suspension we had as high as 11 students absent from one section alone. The average was 4-6 students per section. We could not impose the 10-day suspension for Influenza A(H1N1) then because we had no confirmed case as of July 7. We suspended classes to decontaminate the school and allow those with influenza-like illnesses to get better. (see related article below).   The school learned of two confirmed Influenza A(H1N1) only this Monday July 13, 2009. Although rumours of the first confirmed case started to float on Saturday, July 11 we had to make sure that it was not a prank by verifying actual laboratory test results. Click below to read more. One of the confirmed cases got sick on June 30 and was sent home. The parents brought the student to a doctor on July 3 and was diagnosed as having acute bronchitis, still they had the student take the swab test for A(H1N1). The student reported to school on July 6 and 7 and since there was a medical certificate indicating recovery from acute bronchitis by their doctor the student was admitted by the school.   The two cases are dormers. One is a third year student staying at the BRH Main and the other is a fourth year student staying at the GRH Main. Thus, if we would apply selective suspension we have to suspend 2 sections and 2 dormitories totalling 246 students. We therefore opted for the 2-week suspension to force everyone to stay home. Why not 10 calendar days? If we follow the 10-day suspension, classes should resume on the 24th, a Friday. In consideration of the dormers we are instead resuming classes on July 27.   We tried to be strict by banning anyone who had influenza-like symptoms (fever, cough and colds) from coming to class on July 13 so as not to infect others. Around 65 did not report to school because they were sick. However, at least 23 students with these symptoms reported to school. We also had students who fell ill last week but felt better over the weekend reporting to class.  12 of our teachers were also sick during the weekend.    To help alleviate the academic pressure we will have one grading period covering both the first and the second quarter. This means that there will be no periodic exams for the first quarter. All academic requirements given since June will be computed as part of the second quarter. The grade for the second quarter will also be reflected as the first quarter grade on the report card. This will allow teachers to adjust their requirements which will in turn require less time and effort from the students.   We appeal to the community to cooperate with us. The purpose of the suspension is to quarantine students in their homes. Students should not go out of their homes during the suspension. Otherwise, we will have the same problem when classes resume. We appeal to parents to monitor their children. Let your children stay home and rest. We will be calling your homes during the suspension to ensure that the students are resting.   A related article explains the school's SOP for A(H1N1) related issues. The school is being monitored by the Department of Health and the Quezon City Health Office. Should you have any questions, the administration is more than willing to answer your questions. Do not shout, or call our staff names, they are doing their best to serve the community. Please direct your comments, suggestions and questions directly to us to avoid unnecessary speculations. You may call us at 9291606.   Thank you for your cooperation.

Our own UPCAT review?

Since suspended yung classes for the next 2 weeks, we'll be missing another two UPCAT reviews, bumping up the total to 3 missed reviews. I'm proposing we schedule our own. Ito GM ko sa YM ko:

"Guys, sino gusto mag makeup UPCAT review classes? Ma'am Simpas says she's okay with teaching like 20+ students Math (may bayad, sorry, yun trabaho niya eh), and my house can be used as one or two classrooms (not sure yet), so pwede up to 60 people. Try to ask other teachers like Ma'am Buts and Ma'am sagucio, and a Physics teacher na kaclose niyo to come in and teach rin (may bayad rin most probably). "

If anyone's interested, just comment here, or send me a message (text, IM, e-mail, or otherwise)

The payment's gonna be cheap kung kumpletong 60 tayo. Most likely mga 100 pesos lang per person.

-Borgee

Important Reminders

Please take note of the following:

1. UPCAT Review

Due to the 10-day suspension of classes and the previous 3-day class suspension, the remaining UPCAT review has been cancelled.  The teachers are requested to give a soft copy of the materials so that it may be sent to the all the sections' yahoogroups.  The UPCAT will be on August 1-2, the weekend of the same week you will be coming back to Pisay.  The UPCAT simulation is scheduled on July 27 (tentative).  

2. ACET Forms

The guidance have already distributed ACET forms.  Use the break to write your essay and in choosing the teachers/guidance counselors who will write your recommendation letter.  I suggest you choose teachers who knows you well and/or those who gave you a good grade.

3. Group gatherings

The purpose of the class suspension is for the community to self-quarantine therefore, class reunions, parties, gimiks, and study groups are dissuaded.  

Please inform your parents that if they have any queries, they may talk to the section's Class PTA President or Class Parent Representatives and/or me so that we may forward it to the administrative people.  They can send their email to rbbutaran@pshs.edu.ph

Ms. B

Very Important Announcement

"PSHS has a confirmed AH1N1 case. ManCom is coordinating with the Department of Health.  In the meantime, classes will not be suspended.  Everyone will be submitted to thermal scanning at the gate.  Those who are sick SHOULD stay at home.  They will be given opportunity to make up. Anyone caught not cooperating and is still coming to school sick or was already advised by Dr. Batoon to stay at home, will be sent home immediately and not allowed to make up."

Please check PSHS website for updates.

Class Suspension

No classes on July 8-10. No UPCAT Review on July 11.

From www.pshs.edu.ph

Classes are suspended from July 8 to 10 based on the recommendation of Dr. Corazon B. Batoon, the school's physician. For the month of June the medical clinic census showed a total of 274 consultations. The majority of which were Influenza-like illnesses (ILI) e.g. fever, cough, colds, sore throat, body aches etc. with a total number of 69. The suspension of classes will serve to:

1. break the chain of viral transmission
   
2. decrease the viral load to which our students and staff are exposed
   
3. enable our students to recover fully prior to school entry without the burden of make- up lessons
   
4. enable the school to undertake immediate preventive measures:
   1. sanitation and decontamination of the school premises e.g. classrooms, comfort rooms, cafeteria and other areas where students usually gather 
      
   2. sanitation and decontamination of the four dormitories, it was noted that more than half of those affected with ILI are dormers. 
      
   3. Also undertake anti-dengue activities: general clean-up of surroundings, localized spraying, etc.
      
5. Protect the immunocompromised members of the PSHS community where Influenza A (H1N1) infection may have severe effects and outcome:
   
   1. Students and staff who have pre-existing conditions like bronchial asthma and pulmonary infection (PTB)
      
   2. Faculty and staff who have diabetes, those who are pregnant, elderly (50 years old and above) and most especially those receiving chemotherapy/cancer treatment .
      

The students are advised to stay home throughout the week. Please check the website for other announcements and instructions from your subject teachers.
