Combined with the time-tested and researched based practices of AJV such as Zoophonics, Kids Brown, Sg Math and Brain-based learning, AJV will align its curriculum with the DepEd learning continuity plan: Most Essential Learning Competencies. Modules, Info Maps and other references will be released through the Genyo platform to help all learners during this time of adjustment.

Synchronous classes will provide opportunities for students to interact with each other and learn collaboratively. This will allow students to inquire and explore with their peers, virtually. Staying connected emotionally and socially with peers is an important development for students, thus, we will allow them to interact and socialize during homeroom time and assemblies.

What Learning Management System (LMS) will be used?aPreschool students will use ClassDojo/Google Classroom/Seesaw, Grades 1-10 will use Genyo and Google Classrooms and other Google Apps such Google Docs, Google Slides, etc.

• Yes, live online meetings will be scheduled 4-5 days a week so teachers can discuss the topics from our new and revised curriculum. Online Class Days will be a combination of interactive activities and discussion where participation will be maximized and Module Days can be allotted for Performance Tasks and online quizzes via Genyo.
• Synchronous learning (live online classes) This modality will elevate the constraints on parents in delivering the topics, but for smaller kids, adult supervision may still be required to assist them in going through the technical requirements of this learning modality.
• Asynchronous learning (online) This modality will can be used alternately with Synchronous learning and can be done during class days and module days (as described in our SPLno.1). Students will access their Genyo accounts/Google Classroom and work on self-directed modules: performance tasks, online quizzes, group tasks and others.

• Tasks and assessments will remain the same, it will be in the form of Written Work (WW), Performance Tasks (PT) and Term Exam (TE). We will still use the existing grading system unless DepEd releases a new system and we will comply with their directives.
• Genyo, is a secure platform that will enable the teacher and students to accomplish tasks for WW, PT and TE eliminating the possibility of test sharing among students.
• As mentioned in our SPL#1: Academic Plans for 2020-21, Performance Tasks will be given during Module days, PTs will be designed as self-directed that can be accomplished within 30minutes to 1hour depending on the level. Late submission should be communicated to the concerned teacher.
• We strongly promote the submissions on/before deadlines. This will continue to strengthen our students’ time management skills, discipline and commitment to learn especially for the upper grade levels.

and others…

The school week will be divided into “Online Class Days” and “Module Days” which are described below (see table). We decided on this online learning model in order to adequately regulate the days when students have to be fully online.

For homeschooled kids, they need to submit the certificate from DepEd: Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEP TEST) showing that they have passed the test unless enrolled to a credited and licensed school that provides homeschooling.

Miscellaneous like library fee, audio/visual fee and medical fee will be refunded if the plan for blended learning will not push through.

In the event, that we are given a go signal to shift to blended learning and some parents will OPT OUT of this modality, the above mentioned miscellaneous items will be refunded to them.

Both the academic and administrative teams are working on the plans to ensure your child’s well-being while on campus.

1. Use of no contact thermometer upon entry;
2. Installation of hands-free alcohol and soap dispensers on different key areas;
3. Mandatory use of face mask and face shields for students, teachers and staff;
4. Alcohol supply per classroom;
5. New classroom layout that ensures physical distancing;
6. Hallway and canteen markers to ensure physical distancing; 7. Alternate class schedules to control the number of students coming to the campus.

We prefer that students keep their camera ON during classes. However, if this affects internet connectivity, they may switch it off after attendance checking and turn it ON during recitation.

We have upgraded our internet connectivity by installing access points school wide and 2nd internet provider as back up; One (1) computer unit has been set up per class.

Teachers will be printing the modules for the week and parents can pick them up
