In preparation for the upcoming school year, Isidore de Seville Integrated School successfully conducted a Face-to-Face Parent Orientation today, June 14, 2025. This was attended by the school’s parent-partners, ready to collaborate and support their children’s holistic development for School Year 2025-2026.
The orientation was held in three batches. The first batch included parents of preschool learners, the second batch included parents of Grade 1 learners and new learners from Grades 2-6, and the third batch welcomed parents of returning learners from Grades 2-6.
The program opened with an invocation led by Teacher Leica and Teacher Mary, followed by the Philippine National Anthem led by Teacher Pat and Sir Rein. The warm opening remarks were delivered by the School Principal, Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, who reminded the parent-partners that “A joyful heart makes a good countenance” as cited in Proverbs 15:13. This was just one of the many uplifting messages she shared with the participants.
Teacher Anri Crisostomo, the Head Teacher, introduced the dedicated teaching and non-teaching partners who will be working closely with the learners this year.
Following this, Teacher Mikah Abundo, Intermediate Lead Teacher, shared the inspiring story of the school’s history, while Teacher Bren Francisco, School Documentalist, presented the school’s vision and mission. Meanwhile, Teacher Weng Castro, Math Coordinator, explained the grading system, and Teacher Jo Fajardo, Preschool Lead Teacher, elaborated on awards and recognition.
The school activities and enrichment programs were presented by Teacher Nicole Matic, Learners Activity Coordinator. Teacher Erika Reyes, Primary Lead Teacher, gave an overview of the learner services and facilities, while Nurse Dioana Camua oriented the parents on the school’s health services.
Teacher Marie Rose Villano, Guidance Coordinator, thoroughly discussed the school policies and regulations and gave important reminders to ensure a smooth school year. Teacher Princess Bernardo, Admin Assistant, introduced the parents to the school canteen operations.
Before the end of the program, a short video presentation of an actual robotics class was played. This gave parents a glimpse of one of the school’s programs that enables learners to explore, discover, and learn through play, a powerful approach that combines creativity, critical thinking, and fun.
Parent-partners were also given time to ask questions and seek clarifications on any topic. Teacher Archie personally acknowledged their concerns with clarity, emphasizing that open communication is important in school-home partnership.
Isidore extends its heartfelt appreciation to all parents and guardians who took the time to attend the orientation. Your presence reflects your commitment to being active partners in the learning journey of every Isidorean.
With faith, unity, and shared responsibility, Isidore confidently looks forward to an innovative and victorious school year ahead.
