On November 2 and 3, APEC Schools had their soft launch for those who chose the blended learning modality where students will attend face-to-face classes two times a week and online classes three times a week. Face-to-Face classes fall on either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. Students from grades 8, 9, and 12 had their first face-to-face classes for this school year last November 2, while students from grades 7, 10, and 11 had their first face-to-face class last November 3.

Temperature checks are required to reassure students of their safety, and staff members direct students to the appropriate room. The school and learning facilitators also make sure that everyone is following the safety protocols. The happiness in the students is evident as they start the day with productivity and smiles. Their excitement is surely incomparable. This reflects how different it is to see the learning facilitators, classmates and friends in-person and not just see them and hear their voices through devices.

Aside from that, students also had their photos taken together with their respective LFs, classmates and friends in the photo booth that was also included in the ‘Dress Up Your Branch’ that the Learning Facilitators, Student Council, and some students built.
