“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”  -Plato

Dear Parents.

Blessed be God forever!

These have been trying times and each one, indeed, is trying to survive through this current crisis which has affected the whole world.  The school has gone through a lot these past years, holding off any increase in tuition fee, despite the apparent need for such, thinking more importantly of the clientele.  For this year, the school had already planned for the much needed and delayed increase.  In fact, a multisectoral consultative meeting was held with the group—made up of school administrators and teachers, students and student leaders—agreeing that it was reasonable enough to have the increase which would mainly affect our teachers.

 However, because of the current global situation and its various implications on the lives of the people, especially our clientele, SCT, once again, has decided to forego such tuition fee increase for academic year 2020-2021.  Passion for Truth and Compassion for Humanity directs this decision especially now that we should not only think of ourselves but, more so, of others.  

The administration continuously prays for the safety and protection of everyone. We seek God’s mercy to stop this pandemic the soonest possible time.

 Stay home. Stay safe everyone.

Fellow Sienans,

 Blessed be God forever!

 The effects of CoViD-19 are upon us.  The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it a pandemic and the Philippine President has put the country under a state of public health emergency and now, the whole of National Capital Region on community quarantine. A number of other regions have pursued the same path to control the further spread of the disease. Being in close proximity to and having students and personnel coming from areas directly affected by the said disease, Siena College of Taytay has taken some drastic but thoughtful measures considering the safety and security of everyone in the SCT family—

1. ALL ACTIVITIES scheduled for March and April 2020 have been CANCELLED.

2. Only Completion Rites and Commencement Exercises will be postponed until further notice.

3. Face-to-face or physical TEACHING-LEARNING UNDERTAKINGS or classes will no longer be held even after the declared suspension of classes (until the 19^th of March) in the whole Province of Rizal.

4. Since there shall be no more face-to-face or physical meetings, the remaining TEACHING-LEARNING UNDERTAKINGS shall be transmitted ONLINE. Teaching-learning undertakings during this period will include, but will not be limited to, discussions, presentations, performance tasks, quizzes and major examinations.

5. For the Integrated Basic Education Department (IBED)–
   • teaching-learning undertakings shall be conveyed online by the class advisers starting immediately after the release of this announcement;

   • IBED Classes will end on the 3^rd of April 2020;
   • Report Cards will be distributed on the 11^th of May upon settlement and completion of obligations and other requirements. The conduct of distribution shall be announced at a later date.
   • Students will only be allowed to be on-campus to get their belongings also on the 11^th of May. This no-contact policy has to be strictly implemented for a period of time. Rest assured that the remaining teaching-learning undertakings could be accomplished even without the aid of the things they have left in school.

6. For the Service Education Department (SED) or College Department—

• For Non-Graduating Students –
  • Online classes are scheduled from March 16 to April 3, 2020 and April 13-15, 2020

   • All classes shall be conducted online as scheduled by the respective professors.
   • Details for the third trimester enrolment will be posted.

8. Offices (on skeletal force) will open at a staggered basis from 9:00 in the morning until 3:00 in the afternoon starting on the 18^th of March. More specific schedules will be released immediately after the release of this announcement.

9. Details for summer classes are also being prepared.

10. Offices will be closed during the Holy Week (April 6-12, 2020). It is reserved for us to pray and meditate in silence.

These measures have been undertaken by the school to lessen the exposure of our students and personnel to COVID-19

Through all these, let us continue praying that this pandemic will finally end.  Our God is much greater than any virus and in His perfect time, we know that, with great faith, all these shall pass.

May God bless us more.
