Ms. Feliza W. Balawan and Ms. Flordaliza M. Cadchan of Adiwang Integrated School actively participated in the Conduct of Capacity-Building and Individualized Education Plan (IEP) Development Activities under the Special Needs Education (SNED) Program held on September 2–4, 2026.

The three-day activity focused on strengthening the knowledge and pedagogical competencies of teachers and school personnel in providing responsive, inclusive, and appropriate educational support to learners with disabilities and other additional learning needs. The sessions included discussions on Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Differentiated Instruction, and the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and Disability Perspective and Relevant Laws, policy anchors on Special Needs Education.

The discussion on Disability Perspective and Relevant Laws provided participants with a deeper understanding of disability, inclusion, learners’ rights, and the legal foundations that support the provision of appropriate educational services and reasonable support for learners with disabilities. This helped reinforce the importance of viewing learners from an inclusive and rights-based perspective rather than focusing solely on their limitations.

The participants also gained knowledge and practical skills in IEP development, including its use as a systematic basis for planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating appropriate educational interventions and support for learners with disabilities. The sessions likewise covered the Pre-Referral Process and appropriate educational, social, and behavioral approaches and interventions for learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Emotional and Behavioral Difficulties (EBD).

Through active participation in the plenary discussions, orientation-workshops, breakout sessions, and sharing of experiences, Ms. Balawan and Ms. Cadchan gained valuable insights and practical strategies that can be applied in their respective classrooms and school practices. Their participation further strengthens Adiwang Integrated School’s commitment to promoting inclusive, responsive, rights-based, and learner-centered education for all learners, particularly those with disabilities and additional learning needs.

The SPTA–KAAGAPAY Task Force conducted a planning meeting on September 3, 2026 at Adiwang Integrated School to prepare for the upcoming Oath-Taking Ceremony, discuss organizational updates, and plan future activities focused on strengthening learner safety, protection, and anti-bullying measures in the school.

The meeting was led by KAAGAPAY Task Force Chairperson Michelle M. Likigan and SPTA President Marvin S. Bambalan, who facilitated discussions on the Task Force’s continuing responsibilities and proposed initiatives in partnership with the school.

During the meeting, SPTA President Marvin S. Bambalan also shared and echoed important matters discussed during his attendance at the PTA Federation Meeting. The updates provided valuable information and served as a guide in aligning the school’s SPTA initiatives with the broader directions and activities of the PTA Federation.

A significant part of the planning focused on strengthening the KAAGAPAY Task Force’s learner safety duties throughout the school day. Aside from the existing early-morning duty for the inspection of learners’ bags, the Task Force plans to extend its presence during recess and dismissal periods.

During these duty periods, volunteer parents and Task Force members will help monitor common areas, assist in maintaining order, and remain alert to situations that may compromise learner safety. Their presence will also support the school’s efforts to prevent bullying, address potential conflicts, promote positive behavior, and ensure that learners are safe while moving around the school premises.

The expanded monitoring is envisioned to provide a stronger layer of protection for learners, particularly during periods when they are more likely to interact outside their classrooms. The KAAGAPAY Task Force will work closely with school personnel in observing, reporting, and appropriately referring concerns involving learner safety and possible bullying incidents.

The meeting also tackled other future activities and initiatives of the SPTA–KAAGAPAY Task Force, reinforcing the importance of sustained parent participation and community involvement in creating a safe and nurturing learning environment.

Through this collaborative effort, Adiwang Integrated School, the SPTA, and the KAAGAPAY Task Force continue to demonstrate that learner protection is a shared responsibility.

KAAGAPAY sa umaga. KAAGAPAY sa recess. KAAGAPAY sa uwian. KAAGAPAY para sa ligtas at maayos na paaralan!

The spirit of Bayanihan and community partnership continues to strengthen disaster preparedness at Adiwang Integrated School as the Public Order and Safety Division (POSD) team of Baguio City undertakes the construction of storage cabinets for the school’s School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (SDRRM) program on September 3, 2026.

Despite the persistent rains and the suspension of work, POSD volunteers generously devote their time, skills, and manpower to construct cabinets that will be used specifically for the proper storage of SDRRM kits, materials, supplies, and other emergency preparedness resources.

The initiative is made possible through the generous donation of construction materials from parents and community stakeholders, particularly the Balacbac Proper Multi-purpose Cooperative, Balacbac Farmer's Multi Purpose Cooperative, Balacbac Transport Cooperative, and Santo Tomas Women's Organization.

The donated materials are transformed into functional storage facilities through the volunteer efforts of Pablo Fegcan, Jarayne Quinawan, Jacinto Galisen, Jerome Paguerao, Ricky Rex Cayasen, and Eugene Cruz of the POSD team.

The collaborative undertaking reflects a meaningful partnership where community stakeholders provide the materials while POSD volunteers provide their skills and manpower, supporting the school’s continuing efforts to enhance its disaster preparedness and safety mechanisms.

The entire Adiwang Integrated School community, led by School Head Lilybeth B. Balutoc and Assistant School Head Lester A. Biadno, expresses its deepest gratitude to the Baguio City POSD volunteer team and the generous donors.
