The Learner’s Handbook of AMBALGAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 2

Ambalgan, Sto. Niño, South Cotabato is the initial ever regulatory

document being crafted by the School Head, Teachers, and Parents and

finally this handbook was being corrected.

It knowingly designed to provide learners, teachers, parents,

and other stakeholders a concrete reference material to facilitate the

efficient and effective performance of those concerned of their duties

and responsibilities. This will become the main reference document for

policy decisions, rules, and standards on various curricular and co-

curricular activities as well as the right of every learner to be protected

and to become safe and sound while in school. Learners and teachers

may find it helpful and meaningful as they discharge their duties and

functions as members of the school community.

This handbook is anchored on the different DepEd Orders and

Manuals to align school policies with the rules and procedures of the

Central Office for the achievement of the different goals and objectives

set by the department.
