Cotejo, LPT and the College of Education, Dr. Liza L.

They discussed important matters concerning fees, school uniforms, student manuals, student conduct, health assistance, academic records, learning resources, counseling, career guidance, mental health, and psychosocial support.

An open forum provided parents and guardians with the opportunity to raise questions and clarify concerns regarding academic and student services. The orientation concluded with a parents' commitment-sharing activity, a group pledge, and a photo opportunity.

The activity equipped parents and guardians with essential information while reinforcing their commitment to working closely with the College in helping students successfully adjust to college life and achieve academic success.

Together, as partners, the school and the parents, we AIM HIGHER!
