Re : Directions and Major Dates for SY 2021-2022
________________________________________
For the past few years, the school has been announcing the major dates for the coming school year at around this time. Due to the pandemic and the experience of Xavier School E-Learning (XSEL) this school year, I would like to announce that we will continue following a trimestral schedule for 2021-2022. This is not yet a permanent structure, but after much discussion and planning, we foresee that much of school year 2021-2022 may still be delivered online due to the public health situation, especially for the primary levels (Kinder to Grade 4).
We will continue to announce the mode of delivery (online, onsite, or blended) shortly before each trimester begins. This flexibility is important in recognition of the ideal setting for basic education, and the long-term effects of being confined to the home. Rest assured that any decision we make in this regard will always prioritize health and safety, and will be in compliance with all national and local government guidelines. As we all know, there is still no clarity about the availability and deployment of vaccines in our country, and the expected change, if any, in the mobility of minors. Details of onsite learning, if ever it becomes possible, are still being designed and will be announced in due course.
Please pray for the administrators and faculty as we evaluate the XSEL curriculum and formation programs, plan for the next school year, and envision the necessary transitions in the coming years.
In the meantime, kindly take note of the following major dates for School Year 2021-2022:

Thank you Xavier School for mapping out the schedule for next school year in advance. I, as a parent appreciate this very much so that we can plan ahead. May 2021 – 2022 be a brighter year for all despite this pandemic.
