AFTER two years of blended learning, an elementary school in Baguio City finally resumed face-to-face classes on Monday, March 7.

The city government said that the Gibraltar Elementary School was allowed to hold physical classes after passing the School Safety Assessment Test and complied with the interim guidelines set by the DepEd.

It added that the Sto. Tomas Elementary School will likewise resume onsite learning.

“Other schools that passed the SSAT as validated by the composite team and recommended to the DepEd city and regional offices were Fairview ES, Kias ES, Baguio Central School, Baguio City National High School, Baguio City Science HS (Stand Alone), Pines City NHS, Doña Aurora H. Bueno ES, Manuel A. Roxas ES and Quezon Hill ES,” it said.

“Some private schools are also currently undertaking F2F simulations also in preparation for reopening including the UCCP Baguio Educational Center,” it added.

Sto. Tomas National High School-Senior High School-Technical-Vocational-Livelihood, Mil-an National High School, Happy Hollow Elementary School, Spring Hills Elementary School, and Alfonso Tabora Elementary School held orientations and simulations, according to DepEd Baguio Schools Division Superintendent Federico Martin.

Last week, Mayor Benjamin Magalong said that consultations were held with the parents and the community to address the concerns of teachers for the in-person classes.

Magalong added that the Saint Louis University and University of Baguio submitted their applications to conduct in-person classes for non-medical programs.
