    SCHOOL POLICIES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

    School Policy
    School policy is defined as the set of established expectations for specific
    behavior and norms within a school. School policies are put in place to
    guide the day-to-day functioning of the school as well as to make it safe
    and an effective place for learning to occur.

    Policy on students' absences according to DepEd Order 8, s. 2015

    A learner who incurs absences of more than 20% of the prescribed


    number of classes or laboratory periods during the school year or
    semester should be given a failing grade and not earn credits for the
    learning area or subject. Furthermore, the school head may, at his/her
    discretion and in the individual case, exempt a learner who exceeds the
    20% limit for reasons considered valid and acceptable to the school. The
    discretionary authority is vested in the school head and may not be
    availed by a student or granted by a faculty member without the consent
    of the school head. (DepEd Order 8, s. 2015)

    Policy on students' tardiness according to DepEd Order 8, s. 2015

    Habitual tardiness, especially during the first period in the morning and
    in the afternoon, is discouraged. The teachers shall inform the
    parents/guardians through a meeting if a learner has incurred 5
    consecutive days of tardiness.
    Policy on PTA activities according to DepEd Order 54, s. 2009,

    All PTA Activities within the school premises or which involved the
    school, its personnel or students shall be with prior consultation and
    approval of the School Head.

    Policy on the collection of contributions according to DepEd Order 54,


    s. 2009

    Cognizant of the need of an organization for adequate funds to sustain


    its operations, a duly recognized PTA may collect voluntary financial
    contributions from the members and outside sources to enable it to fund
    and sustain its operation and the implementation of its programs and
    projects exclusively for the benefit of the students and the school where
    it operates. The PTA’s programs and projects shall be in line with the
    School Improvement Plan (SIP).

    Policy on safekeeping of funds according to DepEd Order 54, s. 2009

    All collections of contributions from fundraising activities shall be


    deposited in a reputable baking institution as determined by the Board
    of Directors. The PTA’s Treasurer or a duly authorized representative
    shall undertake the collection and shall issue official receipts.

    Importance of School policies and their functions

    Schools in partnership with their community have their own picture of


    what to be (vision statement) and so must offer services and must do
    what they are supposed to do (mission statement) in order to realize
    what they envisioned themselves to be. For these to happen, policies
    must be in place.

    Effective Policy Formulation and Implementation in a School


    Community Partnership

    The school head must lead in the policy formulation process. The word
    “Lead” implies that an effective policy formulation process must be
    participatory. This means that it is best that the rest of the school and
    community be involved. Two good heads are better than one.
