Safe, Connected, and Caring: Fairview ES Stands Together Through ADM
On August 20, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., the Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff of Fairview Elementary School, headed by Principal Dr. Freda B. Dayog, came together through Google Meet for a meaningful Faculty Online Kumustahan Meeting amid the continuing challenges brought by the extreme inclement weather and habagat; the gathering began with an attendance check, confirming that everyone was safe and present, followed by a heartfelt opening prayer led by Maโam Abegail G. Tulay, and proceeded to a warm kumustahan facilitated by Dr. Freda, where teachers and non-teaching personnel shared their conditions at home, their experiences, and the status of the Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) implementation; teachers reported on learnersโ participation and compliance with activities delivered through videos, activity sheets, and instructions posted in their respective group chats, while some also shared meaningful experiences from their online classes and regular check-ins with learners and parents. With genuine concern and empathy, Dr. Freda emphasized that the safety of both learners and teachers must always come first, reminding everyone to remain sensitive to the present circumstances of families and to properly guide learners and parents in communicating their needs to barangay officials and other appropriate authorities who can extend assistance; she likewise reminded teachers to exercise compassion and flexibility as they continue implementing ADM, recognizing that every learner may be facing different challenges at home.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to prepare for the upcoming Term 1 Examination, with Master Teacher Sir Walter S. Crisostomo reminding teachers to carefully review and modify ready-made examination materials based on the competencies already completed and those intended for assessment, while also preparing class records for checking in anticipation of the September 11, 2026 Term 1 Card Giving; Dr. Freda further discussed the upcoming INSET, highlighting the responsibilities of the identified speakers and participants and the importance of addressing the timely professional learning needs identified through the teachersโ needs assessment. More than a meeting, the online kumustahan became a space for Fairview ES personnel to listen, understand, encourage, and learn from one another, as teachers shared practical strategies and best practices in making ADM work despite difficult circumstances, a humble reminder that even when classes are disrupted by storms, the Fairview spirit of care, teamwork, compassion, and commitment to learning remains strong, with every teacher doing their part to keep learners safe, supported, and connected.
