BARANGAY OFFICIALS ASK TO ASSIST ENROLLMENT IN SLES

Barangay officials in Ibabang Dupay are requested to assist in the enrollment of pupils in San Lorenzo Elementary School as the June 30 deadline for the modified regular enrollment of the Department of Education (DepEd) nears.

“I am requesting the barangay officials to help explain to parents that they should not fear about their children being exposed to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) when they enroll them this school year,” said by the SLES Principal Mrs. Yvette M. Preclaro.

She also requested personnel of the Sangguniang Barangay to assist school-age children to enroll.

Difficulty in accessing online registration, lack of information on the enrollment process, and health security are among the reasons why parents have yet to enroll their children, she added.

Preclaro said that barangay officials should also assist DepEd to make sure that enrollment forms are available for parents to fill in.

“We have enrollment forms made available in the barangay halls,” she said.

She added that while forms are available in barangay halls, there were barangay officials who took the initiative to distribute them to households in their purok.
