 Notes:  The delay in school opening to June 14 was caused by my arrival in Sagada on June 3.  The faculty reported during the last week of May, and I held a teacher orientation the whole week prior to school opening.  The government declared June 13 as a special holiday.  We scheduled Saturday make-up days to comply with the government requirement of 200 student contact days, and to enable the students and faculty to enjoy a 9-day semester break and a 3-week Christmas break.  Our calendar is now fully synchronized with government schools.
