No.: (0935-723-1264) Email Address: restitutoperia@gmail.com It was noteworthy that the students, parents, and teachers were responsive to the question and answer. They were asked what are preparations that they do for the new school year? Some of the students answered that they reviewed the lessons they had not mastered yet while enjoying their two-month break. Meanwhile, one of the parents responded on the same question that during the two-month vacation, she encouraged her children to watch DEPED TV. She added that the use of gadgets is only limited so that her children can focus on doing advanced studies. Another guardian shared that he balanced the time for play and study for his brother so that he is ready for the new school year. Through this virtual program, the students, parents, and teachers were all enlightened about the opening of the school year 2021 – 2022. A new school year meant a new set of modules to be disseminated to the parents and students. With the prompt response and full participation in the opening of classes, the RBPNHS held its first distribution of modules last September 27, 2021, while strictly observing health protocols. To prevent the influx of parents and guardians in taking the modules on the first week of distribution, a few days before the school year formally opened, they and their children were already informed by the teachers to follow the schedule made by the school to maintain peace and order and keep each and everyone safe and sound amidst the existing pandemic. Moreover, each grade level had an assigned color of envelopes so that the teachers would easily find out the parents of their students. In addition, the class advisers provided a nameplate on the envelopes of the students so the parents would easily find out the envelope of their children put and organized on a long table by the teachers without having physical contact among them. Below was the schedule and color coding for each grade level: TIME 7:30 – 8:30 AM 8:30 – 9:30 AM 9:30 -10:30 AM 10:30 – 11:30 AM 1:30 – 2:30 PM 2:30 – 3:30 PM GRADE LEVEL Grade 7 Grade 8 Grade 9 Grade 10 Grade 11 Grade 12 COLOR blue yellow green red violet pink The distribution of modules went smoothly. The school was not flooded by the parents and guardians as the schedule was followed. The modules of Junior High School were all placed in the school gym, piled, and arranged on the long tables. Meanwhile, the Senior High School had its first distribution at the SHS building. Despite the smooth run of the distribution, still, there were minimal problems that occurred such as: 1. Non - compliance of a few parents/guardians on the set schedule 2. Parents did not bring their ball pens. Address: Bibiclat, Aliaga, Nueva Ecija,3111 Tel.

The abovementioned problems encountered by the teachers in the first distribution of the module were immediately controlled and managed as they had given action and instruction to the parents. The teachers reminded the parents of the importance of following the schedule of the distribution of the modules to avoid getting crowded at school. Moreover, ball pens were lent to the parents and guardians who forgot to bring their own but then reminded to bring one next time to avoid physical contact and transmission of the virus. For those students who didn’t have envelopes yet, their modules were piled by the class adviser and belted by a strip of paper then inserted into reusable long folders so the parents could still carry and bring it home. They were reminded that they should provide their children’s envelopes so that they could keep the modules safe and clean once the students started using them. With the collaboration and effort among parents and teachers, all envelopes and piled of modules were successfully distributed to be studied and answered by the students at the comfort of their homes.
