Sir/Madam:
With the evolving nature of the current national situation, future
communications shall be periodically released to guide the community on other upcoming
plans of the school. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessary adjustments on
teaching and learning methods that educational institutions needed to put in place in
response to it, Genesis Advanced Intech Academy, Inc., shall adopt the Flexible Learning
Modality approach, henceforth referred to as Flexible Learning Experience (FLEX) which
cater Guided Online Learning Approach (GOLA) for learners who have the necessary
gadgets, devices and online accessibility while Offline Learning Activity Program (OLAP) for
learners who cannot afford the necessary gadgets, devices and those who are encountering
online difficulties as stipulated in the School’s Learning Continuity Plan, until clearances
are given by the government for face-to-face instruction within the school year. This
decision was reached after a long and thorough deliberation process that sought to
balance the need to ensure that learning continues effectively and efficiently without
putting our community’s health and safety at risk.
Attached herewith are the requirements in compliance with the guidelines and
policies set by Department of Education, Department of Health and Inter-Agency Task
Force.
God bless and stay safe!

To help realize the various interventions for recovery, readiness and

There shall only be one entry and one exit point to avoid crowding.
Moreover, teachers will be assigned to assist in the gate to ensure proper

academic festivities and other co-curricular activities are indefinitely
cancelled for the school year.
Attached herewith are the requirements in compliance with the guidelines and
policies with Minimum Health Standards issued by DepEd, consistent with the guidelines
of DOH, IATF, and the Office of the President.
Despite this plan, we acknowledge possible risk factors which might prevent us from
continuing to do so. However, if the risk of this pandemic still persists, the school
shall abide by the directives of the DepEd.
A lot of questions still haunts us but it is in these trying times that we
should unite in ensuring the welfare and the continuity of learning of our students.
Through God's grace, we highly hope that we can get through with this together.
