ONLINE SCHOOL POLICY MEMORANDUM NO. 2020-03
Date: October 12, 2020
To: All Grade 1-9 SMILE Faculty, Learners and their Parents
From: The Administrator
Re: Additional Scoring Rubrics for Performance Tasks Part 3
The first quarter is over, and the learners and teachers have all adjusted to online schooling. The school community is now ready for more stringent bases for grading.
In order to improve student participation during virtual classes, encourage them to be lifelong learners, and to prevent possible addiction to non-academic online activities, additional performance tasks shall be in place effective October 15, 2020. The scoring is for 5 virtual classes per quarter, to make allowances for unforeseen circumstances, such as but not limited to low internet connectivity.
Also, the Behavior Indicators of the DepEd and SMILE core values indicated in the progress report card, have been revised to suit online education. Just like in the previous school years, these shall also be scored by all the subject teachers and then consolidated and averaged as performance task in Values subject.
Additionally, in celebration of the 30th founding anniversary of SMILE, the learners will be allowed to choose ONE performance task, which will be scored by the teachers in 6 subjects.
In order to give clarity, consistency and efficiency in the scoring of the said Performance Tasks for the rest of School Year 2020-2021, the following are the scoring rubrics for various tasks applicable to all subjects. Teachers may adjust the weight depending on the grade level / age group of the learners.
Please be guided accordingly.

RUMINATION @ 30: THANKING GOD FOR BLESSING AND SENDING SMILE
RUMINATION @ 30:
THANKING GOD FOR BLESSING AND SENDING SMILE
Every birthday, especially on milestone years, should be celebrated, not so much with festivities but more so with reflection and memorialization. Oh yes, celebrations can come, too, when circumstances and practical considerations allow them. However, the more meaningful way is to look back and examine the years that have gone by. Have goals been achieved? What blessings and gifts must be acknowledged and thanked for? What do we hope for in the future? What decisions need to be made?
This is the 30th year of St. Mary’s Initial Learning Experience as a school. Financially backed by her husband, Mr. Julius Bajo, Teacher Maria Livinia Suico Bajo started SMILE in 1990. She just wanted to develop fast readers and responsible leaders in their young pupils. They (my parents) hoped but did not imagine that their very small preschool of 12 pupils will continue to exist beyond their retirement age. Neither my sister nor I was interested in running the school, for we were chasing our personal dreams and discerning our own respective vocations.
During the year-end recollection on my 35th year of life, way back year 2006, I said “yes” to the Lord’s call to education. After months of further discernment, I told my parents, Sir Julius and Teacher Bajo that I have finally decided join SMILE on a full-time basis. In the year 2007, we gradually shifted the focus of education to evangelization and progressively opened the Grade School Department. In preparation for their retirement from full administration of the school, they eventually made me the School Administrator. My husband, Sir Leo Litob, and I progressively opened the High School Department in the year 2018. That is significant for the said department that caters to teens, as November 25, 2018 was the start of the Philippine Catholic Church’s Year of the Youth. God’s timing is always perfect!
What blessings am I personally grateful for in relation to SMILE? Let me name only the top 3. First on the list is the fulfillment of God’s promise in 1994 to expand the territory. Truly amazing are the physical expansion and the fact that we are able to provide for more employees and their families! And this year 2020, only by God’s grace are we still able to operate as a school even during the pandemic. In fact, shifting to online education has expanded SMILE’s reach in astounding ways. Second blessing is the fact that we have very good personnel – both the non-teaching and the teaching personnel. They are always striving for efficiency and excellence. Good Christians, they are truly our partners in the mission of evangelization, in Christian motherhood to our learners. Top third blessing is that we have good learners in SMILE. Yes, our learners are academically very competent and even competitive. More importantly, they are also basically good at heart! Glory to God in the Highest! We are achieving our mission.
SMILE is my personal place of mission, one that had to be chosen over and above other good options time and again. And it is the place of mission of our personnel, especially of the teachers. We are on the right track! Allow me to backtrack a little. Remove all the highfalutin words, strip the school’s philosophy, vision, mission and goals to its essentials, and reveal the core of SMILE. Its mission are simply to promote the Kingdom of God and preach Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Yes, when the personnel and learners are basically good and many of the Christian values are already found in their own personal lives, then the seed of God’s Kingdom has in fact, grown. All we need to work for is to really make Jesus Christ the center of each one’s life. Christ Himself should be the point from which academic excellence and versatility, professional competence, service to others, love for country, and success in life should radiate.
And SMILE shall go on. We shall keep saying yes to God to His call to draw all men closer to Himself. Thank you, Lord God Most Holy Trinity, for blessing and sending SMILE these past 30 years and counting!
