Dear Parents,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pray that you are well upon receipt of this mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 24, 2020, after having\nobtained the unanimous approval of the parents held during the parents and\nteachers\u2019 assembly on January 19, 2020, Mater Carmeli School submitted to DepEd\nour application  for  increase \nin  tuition  and \nother  fees  for \nSY  2020-2021.  However, \nthe  economic  strain brought about by the pandemic CoViD-19\ncompelled us to withdraw the said application in solidarity with our parents,\nmany of whom are affected economically by the said global disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, on May 18, 2020 the administration underwent a thorough review of school fees and  discerned  which   of  these   fees  might  be  suspended,  decreased,  retained  and  increased,  in consideration  of  the  delivery  of  learning  in  the  New  Normal<\/em>.  Moreover,  the  school  decided  to withdraw memoranda of agreement initially entered into by the institution with book companies<\/strong>, taking  upon  itself  together  with  its  teaching  force,  the  task  of  curriculum  planning  and  design  not dependent on textbooks. Below is the result of the said review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please take note of the total amount decreased from each grade level for SY 2020-2021 as a result of the review done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We \nhave  retained  some \nfees  particularly  under \ntuition  and  miscellaneous \nfees  for  the procurement  and upgrading of  facilities and  equipment to \nenhance online  learning,  subscription \nto learning  management  system \n(Schoology),  upgrading  sanitation \nand  wellness  services, \nand  other learner development\nfacilities. When our Carmelians are back to school,\nwe need to be fully prepared to handle and take care of their physical, mental,\nsocial, emotional, spiritual well-being; hence, the retention  of \nother  fees.  We  assure \nyou,  though,  that \nwhen  the  pandemic \nlingers,  God  forbid, unused fees will be refunded as had\nbeen done in the previous school year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accept our sincere appreciation for your trust and confidence in the Carmelian education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
