June 11, 2026 | JNCHS Gymnasium

JANIUAY, ILOILO — Behind every learner with special educational needs is a family carrying dreams, hopes, and faith in their child's future. Recognizing this reality, Janiuay National Comprehensive High School (JNCHS) gathered parents and guardians of its Special Needs Education (SNED) learners for a meaningful orientation on June 11, 2026, at the JNCHS Gymnasium.

Led by Miss Myrell Clavecillas, JNCHS SNED Coordinator, together with Dr. Marlo C. Quidato, Principal III, the activity served as more than an orientation—it became a celebration of inclusion, understanding, and shared responsibility in nurturing every learner's potential.

For many parents, the journey of raising a child with special educational needs is often marked by unique challenges, silent sacrifices, and countless moments of perseverance. The orientation provided a space where families were reminded that they are not alone in this journey. It reaffirmed the school's commitment to creating an environment where differences are embraced, abilities are recognized, and every learner is given the opportunity to thrive.

In his message, Dr. Quidato emphasized that education should never leave anyone behind. He underscored the importance of building a school culture where compassion, acceptance, and support become daily practices rather than mere ideals. He encouraged parents and educators to continue working hand in hand to ensure that every learner feels valued, respected, and empowered.

Meanwhile, Miss Clavecillas shared the school's programs and support mechanisms for SNED learners, highlighting the importance of strong collaboration between home and school. She emphasized that inclusive education is not simply about providing access to classrooms—it is about ensuring that every learner experiences a sense of belonging and receives the support needed to succeed.

The activity concluded with an open forum where parents openly shared concerns, experiences, and aspirations for their children. The conversations reflected a common desire: a future where every child, regardless of ability, is given the chance to learn, grow, and dream without limits.

As JNCHS opens another school year, the Parents’ Orientation for SNED learners stands as a reminder that true education is measured not only by academic achievement but also by the willingness of a community to embrace every learner. In a world where some children often face barriers to learning, JNCHS continues to send a powerful message—every learner matters, every voice deserves to be heard, and every dream is worth nurturing.
