SCHOOL PROFILE

School History

Southbay Montessori School Inc. (SBMS) is an innovative institution

of higher learning in the Province of Laguna. It was founded by the

respectable couple, Hon. Rizaldy Nalo Kalaw and Dr. Patrocinia Sanigan

Kalaw.

SBMS was established on October, 2007 and located at A. Mabini St.

Sta. Cruz, Laguna. It was opened and started to offer Secondary Education in

Academic Year 2008. At first, the school accepted First and Second Year

students in School Year 2008 – 2009. The organization was composed of

Hon. Rizaldy N. Kalaw as the School Administrator; Dr. Patrocinia S. Kalaw as

the School Principal, five (5) Faculty members and one (1) Maintenance and

one (1) Security staff together with the nineteen (19) First Year students and

four (4) Second Year students, with the total number of twenty-three (23)

students.

During its early first year, SBMS offered a High School Academic

Course Model, but consistent with the prevailing ideas of the couple, it also

offered Pre-Elementary Education, the following School Year.

In the year 2012, the school administration decided to move in a

more spacious lot and building located at Sitio Huwaran Brgy. Pagsawitan

1. Curriculum for Pre-Elementary, Elementary, and Junior High School

The K to 12 Basic Education Program shall be used by Southbay

Montessori School in compliance with DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015.

The assessment process for the learners is holistic, with emphasis

on the formative or developmental purpose of quality assuring student

learning. It is also standards-based and competency-based grading system

as it seeks to ensure that teachers will teach the standards and students will

aim to meet or even exceed the standards. The learner’s attainment of

standards and competencies in terms of content and performance is,

therefore, a critical evidence of learning.

2. Grading Components

SBMS students are graded based on the three components. These

are Written Works (WW), Performance Tasks (PT), and Quarterly

Assessments (QA) every grading period. The nature of the learning area

defines the way these three components are assessed.

a. The Written Works Component ensures that students are able to

express skills and concepts in written forms. Written Works may include

long quizzes, and unit or long tests, help strengthen test-taking skills among

earners. Through also these, learners are able to practice and prepare for

the quarterly assessment and other standardized assessments. Other

written work may include essays, written reports, and other written output.

b. The Performance Task Component allows learners to show what

they know and are able to do in diverse ways. They may create or innovate

products or do performance-based tasks. Performance-based tasks may

include skills demonstration, group presentations, oral work, multimedia

presentations, and research projects. It is important to note that written

output may also be considered as performance task.

c. The Quarterly Assessment Component measures student

learning at the end of the quarter. These may be in a form of objective tests

such as Monthly Tests and Periodical Tests, performance –based, or a

combination thereof.

Below is the percentage weight of the components in each learning

area

3. Descriptors, Grading Scale and Remarks

There are four grading periods/quarters in one (1) Academic Year

and the summary of learner’s progress is shown quarterly to parents and

guardians through parent-teacher conference also known as the card

viewing, in which the content of the report card is being discussed.

4. Learner Promotion and Retention

Southbay Montessori School employs the “Averaging” grading

system. The Final Grade for each learning area shall be reported as the

average of the four quarterly ratings. The general average shall be the

average of the final grades of the different learning areas.

A learner shall be promoted to the next grade level when he/she

gets the passing grade of 75 & or higher in all learning areas. However, a

learner who did not meet expectations in at most two (2) learning areas

must take remedial classes and if he/she incurred failing grades in three (3)

or more learning areas, he/she will be retained in the same grade level.

E. Selection of Honors Students and Awards Given

20. Students are prohibited from doing the following acts:

b. Littering

c. Loitering at the corridors and in the campus during class hours

d. Drinking liquor, smoking, taking harmful prohibited drugs

e. Gambling, extortion and vandalism

f. Carrying deadly weapons such as guns, knives, ice picks, etc.

g. Indecent acts and public display of affection (PDA)

h. Speaking indecent language, cursing and possessing pornographic

pictures, literatures, and videos.

i. Cheating in class work.

C. ATTENDANCE

Regular school attendance is essential. As a general rule, absences

should occur only as a result of illness or injury. Doctor’s appointments

should be scheduled outside of the school day. When an absence is

planned, it is helpful if the teacher is informed as far in advance as possible.

Tardiness has the same impact as an absence. It is a loss of instructional

time. IF A STUDENT IS ABSENT, his/her parent must call the Office of the

Principal or the adviser before the class session begins. A written excuse

giving the date of the absence and the reason is required after any absence

or tardiness, if no phone call is received. Absences must be excused within

48 hours or they are considered unexcused.

1. Tardiness

Instruction at SBMS begins promptly at 7:30 in the morning, and it is

critical that all students be prepared to begin instruction on time. Therefore,

a student must arrive at school before 7:30 in the morning. A student who is

late misses valuable instructional time and conveys an unacceptable lack of

regard for the school.

The parent must accompany any student who arrives after 8:00

A.M. to the office before proceeding to the classroom. The student will be

considered tardy and the incident will be recorded. If a student is tardy four

times, the problem will be regarded as chronic, and it will be reported.

In addition, no child will be dismissed early, unless for special

circumstances. Being at school on time in the morning and staying in

school until the end of the school day is essential in receiving a good

education. If a child is picked up early more than four times, this will be

regarded as chronic and will be handled in the same manner as chronic

tardiness.

2. Absences

Parents must contact the Office of the Principal or the class adviser

by phone whenever a child is going to be absent, and send a written excuse

to the teacher when the child returns to school. The school has a dedicated

phone lines for all calls related to attendance:

(049) 523-6123 and 0995-261-0830.

The following reasons are sufficient cause for an excused absence:

(a) illness, (b) death in the family, (c) inclement weather which would be

dangerous to the life or health of the child, (d) legal quarantine, (e)

emergency conditions, as determined by the School Principal, and (f) Prior

permission from the School Principal and consent from the legal guardian.

In the event that extraordinary circumstances require that the

student be absent from school, an Authorized Absence Plan may be

developed jointly by the teacher, the School Principal, the Guidance

Counselor, and the student’s parent or legal guardian. The plan will define

the length of the absence and the means by which the student will make-up

the work he or she will miss. The plan must be approved and signed by the

School Principal, Guidance Counselor and the parent/guardian prior tothe

student’s absence.

If a student returns to school after an absence without a note of

explanation from the parent, the teacher will call the parent to remind him

or her to send a note the following day. If a note is not received within two

school days of absence, the absence will be regarded as unexcused. If the

child receives three unexcused absences, the parent will receive a notice

from the school.

D. OTHER DIRECTIVES

The following are other important information that SBMS students

and parents be familiar with.

1. Self-Discipline

All pupils must observe proper discipline and decorum inside the

school campus at all times especially in the classroom and along the

corridors. Any misbehavior like not in proper line, shouting, laughing,

whistling, running or other unnecessary noise, use of foul language,

throwing, hiding other student’s things, dragging of shoes, bags and the

like, teasing others, showing disrespect to anybody and other disturbing

acts are subject to sanctions.

2. Politeness, Courtesy and Full Cooperation

As SBMS student, politeness and utmost cooperation is expected in

and out of the school campus. Much more, each student must be kind

enough to all especially in dealing with School Administrators, Principal,

Faculty and Staff, visitors, parents and fellow students.

Praise to good acts, use of polite/courteous expressions like “thank

you”, “I’m sorry”, “Please”, “Kindly excuse me”, “beg your pardon”, “May

or can I”, “Greetings of Good morning/afternoon”, use of Sir and Madam,

and offer of help are mostly expected.

3. Girl-Boy Relationship

Every boy and girl should act accordingly to the norms of morality.

Any violation or scandalous behavior is subject to sanction. Strictly no

“Public Display of Affection” or the so called “PDA” must be observed.

4. Consideration and Respect on the Property of Fellow Student

Each student must come to school well equipped with all the

needed things in each subject. He/She is responsible in taking care of

his/her things. Destroying or writing on other student’s things without

permission is subject to sanctions.

5. Proper Care, Cleanliness, and Orderliness Inside the Classrooms, School

Campus and School Facilities

Every SBMS student must consider this school as his/her second

home. He/She is therefore expected to give due respect and act accordingly

to all people and to school properties. Proper use and care, concern,

cleanliness and orderliness inside and outside the classroom are

responsibilities of a student so he/she must obey the following guidelines:

5.1 Put properly the garbage in the trash cans.

5.2 Clean, arrange or put the used tables and chairs in the proper

place after using or at the end of each class hour session.

5.3 No vandalism and no loitering.

5.4 Air condition and lights in the classroom and comfort room

should be switched off after using and before leaving the room.

5.5 Proper use and care of other school facilities like classrooms,

tables and chairs, library, kiosk/canteen, function hall, court, quadrangle,

benches.

5.6 Use and maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of the comfort

room.

6. Student Departure Procedures

Any student who wishes to leave the school campus earlier than the

usual dismissal time must present to his/her Class Adviser a letter properly

signed by his/her parent/guardian citing the reason and intent. If found

reasonable, the Class Adviser endorse it to the Guidance Counselor or

School Principal and secure two (2) student departure written permits/gate

passes. One copy will be kept by the class adviser and the other will be

presented to the School Guard. The pupil must sign and fill up the new

information in the Guard’s logbook before he/she leaves the campus.

7. Lost and Found Objects

Any lost and found thing/belonging like money and other valuables

should be surrendered by the finder to the Guidance Counselor or School

Principal who will record the complete information as to where, when and

how they are found. This will be announced in the Bulletin Board near the

Guidance/Principal’s office. It can be claimed by the owner after class hours

after due process and proven as the real owner.

8. Policies on Fetching of Student and Related Circumstances

SBMS management tries its best to take care of the pupils/students

during official class hours. Fetchers should have an I. D.

9. Communication between Teachers and Parents

Teachers and parents should have a harmonious relationship to

uphold the school’s vision and mission. It is the duty and responsibility of

each parent to monitor the progress of his child in school. Thus, he has to

attend school meetings, assemblies, viewing of report cards, conferences

and activities set by the school.

10. Consultation, Conference and Emergency Visit with School Personnel

SBMS encourages each parent to monitor the scholastic standing

and behavioral status of his/her child to ensure a good camaraderie and for

the welfare of the student. Yet in order to avoid disruption of classes or

ongoing school activities, appointment with the School Secretary should be

done a day before the actual date of scheduled appointment with the

School Administrator, Principal, Guidance Counselor, Class Advisers, Subject

Teachers or any School Employee.

However, in case of emergency visit to any student or school

employee, the visitor must secure a Visitor’s Pass/ID from the Guard and at

the same time sign completely on the Visitor’s Log Book. The Guard should

inform the School Principal about the matter and let the visitor to wait at

the Admission Office.

11. Organizing Parties

If ever the parent wants to have a party or birthday celebration of

his/her child in school, he/she should inform the adviser and make an

appointment with the School Secretary or the School Principal and sign the

logbook one (1) day before the event and as much as possible, it should be

done only during recess or lunch time.

12. Field Trips

Field trips may be planned throughout the year for various

academic enrichment and extracurricular purposes. Parents may be asked

to assist in paying for field trips. They will receive advance notice of all such

trips. A permission slip must be signed by a student’s parent/guardian in

order for the student to participate in a fieldtrip.

Occasionally, parents will be needed to serve as chaperones for Pre-

elementary and Primary Students on class field trips. No parent should feel

obligated to serve in this capacity, but parents are encouraged to volunteer

if possible. The primary responsibility of a chaperone is to ensure

appropriate supervision for students. Parental chaperones are asked to take

this responsibility seriously and to remain vigilant and attentive to the

student’s needs throughout the trip. Babies and children who are not

enrolled in the class may not accompany the chaperones.

13. English Speaking Policy

English is used as a medium of instruction in all subjects except

Filipino and AP. All students are required to speak in English in and out of

the classroom or as long as they are inside the campus. Remember that we

can talk to the whole world if we can speak in English.

14. Assignments

Homework will be given on as needed basis, or if your child does not

complete the required amount of work during class instruction. Each

student is responsible for completing his or her assignments and for turning

in on time. If homework is turned in late, it will affect student’s grade.

15. Contests and Competitions

Contests and competitions referred to those organized by SBMS and

those outside the school campus organized by DepEd or any Government or

Non Government Organizations.

Academic and other contests are conducted to promote

camaraderie among students, build self confidence, and develop a

wholesome personality, sportsmanship and to support instructions. There

are forms of culminating activities also. Thus, all parents are advised to

encourage and support their children to participate any contest or

competition.

16. Class Projects

SBMS is under the Department of Education (DepEd) which requires

each student from Pre-Elementary, Elementary, Junior High School and

Senior High School Level to accomplish 1 or 2 projects in every subject area

every quarter. Some projects may be done or made during class subject

schedule while some project will be asked to finish at home.

17. Bags, Books, Notebooks and SBMS Diary

Bags, books, notebooks and SBMS Diary are the most important

needs of the students in school. These should be given special care.

Notebooks, books and SBMS diary should be properly covered and labeled

and must be checked by the Adviser or subject teachers as well as by the

parents/guardians.

18. Class Picture

Student’s days with SBMS family are very important and

memorable. So a colored class picture is taken to keep his/her track record

of attendance in every grade level.

E. POLICIES ON DISCIPLINE

As a student enrolls in SBMS, he/she and the parents agree to the

rules and regulations set by the school. Therefore, SBMS makes sure that all

those rules and regulations must be followed by all. In case abstraction of

these is committed, disciplinary actions shall be imposed.

1. Guidelines in Implementing Disciplinary Action

Parents/Guardians are notified either by the phone or letter each

time a serious irregularity or complaint is reported against a student. The

adviser will issue a call slip to the parent containing the alleged

offense/irregularity committed by the concerned student. The

parent/guardian is expected to come to school for discussion before the

student is allowed to attend his/her classes. Failure to comply with this

guideline means suspension.

Interview and consultation with the School Administrator/School

Principal/Guidance Counselor and teachers are preferably done in the

morning during free time and in the afternoon after class hours. No

consultation shall be done during class hours unless an appointment is

made prior to the scheduled consultation.
