Impact of Severe Weather Conditions

Moreover, it is essential to recognize that this suspension is also a recovery effort following the damages caused by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine (Trami). The aftermath of this storm is still being addressed by local authorities, and schools are urged to facilitate the necessary steps for recovery. As a result, classes will be paused to allow time for officials and communities to better prepare for Typhoon Leon, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively and recovery efforts are underway.

Safety First: Staying Informed

We encourage everyone to remain updated on the latest weather forecasts and instructions from local authorities regarding Typhoon Leon and any subsequent impacts of Severe Tropical Storm Kristine. Safety must remain our top priority during these uncertain times. Signals from meteorological agencies will guide our understanding of how best to navigate this situation.

The decision to suspend classes is a collective effort aimed at prioritizing our community's safety while recognizing the need for preparedness and recovery. Please stay tuned for further updates from your educational institutions and local weather services. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this challenging period.
