In an advisory, the Ateneo Grade School in Quezon City said it will suspend its classes on June 25 and 26 after a Grade 3 pupil was confirmed to have contracted the virus.
The Parent-Teacher Conference (PTC) scheduled on June 27, Saturday, would also be canceled.
The AGS deferred its opening of classes earlier as a precautionary measure after a student from the high school department was confirmed to be infected with the disease.
Also in Quezon City, the St. Pedro Poveda College said in its Web site that it is “canceling its classes starting June 25 and will resume on July 6 due to a confirmed case of A(H1N1)."
GMANews.TV’s sources also said that PAREF-Woodrose in Muntinlupa City has also suspended classes until July 3 due to A(H1N1) infection. The school has yet to issue an official report.
GMANews.TV tried to confirm the report about PAREF-Woodrose from the Department of Health and from the Department of Education, but they said they have no information so far.
Woodrose’s affiliated school, PAREF-Southridge earlier canceled its classes.
“This is to inform the PAREF Southridge School community that Southridge is suspending classes for 10 calendar days beginning Monday, June 22, because of a confirmed case of Influenza A(H1N1) flu in one student. Classes will resume on Thursday, July 2," it said in an article posted on its Web site.
On Wednesday, classes at the Assumption College (San Lorenzo campus) in Makati City were suspended. The school administration said classes will resume on July 6.
The cancelation of classes by these private schools came as the DOH announced that 131 more people have tested positive for the AS(H1N1) virus, raising the total of confirmed cases in the country to 603. - Sophie Dedace, GMANews.TV
