What families should know
A face-to-face suspension does not automatically cancel every learning activity. Schools may use online classes, modules or another alternative delivery mode. Follow the instructions issued by the school for attendance and assignments.
Families should prioritize safety when roads are flooded or travel conditions are dangerous. Monitor official PAGASA bulletins and verified announcements from the relevant local government, DepEd division office and school.
