FAILED IS FAILED AND PASSED IS PASSED. THERE IS NOTHING IN BETWEEN. AND BLUE DANUBE WILL NOT ENTER INTO COMPROMISES. You have to understand that the higher the level of the pupil is, the harder the subject matters are and the quicker the pupil must cope up. Simply put, we cannot spend time for, let's say, Grade 1 pupils like we give to Nursery Level children. This is part of serious and solid schooling. There is no shortcut or whatever. It is a normal process for a decent school. Painful as it is, both for old timers and newcomers, they have to meet the academic standard as well as the behavioral expectations of our school.
To avoid unnecessary questions, misunderstandings or confusions, please be reminded that you should read all newsletters and notices.
For the giving of academic awards and for the computation of the final grades, ONLY MAJOR SUBJECTS WILL BE CONSIDERED (English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and Filipino). Minor subjects (Computer Science, Values Education, Music & Arts, Physical Education, Home Economics & Livelihood Education, and German Language) will be graded as E for Excellent (96-100), HS for Highly Satisfactory (91-95), S for Satisfactory (86-90), MI for Must Improve (75-85), and F for Failed (74 & below), but will not affect the computation of final rating. Conduct, as well, will not affect the final grade of a pupil.
Best in Exams category means that the pupil averaged from 97% to 100%. Honorable Mention category means that the pupil averaged from 94% to 96%.
For the major subjects, we will be using the Base 50 rating system. This means that the computation is: THE RAW SCORE OF ANY TEST MULTIPLIED BY 50, THEN DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF ITEMS ASKED, AND LASTLY, ADDING 50. If the pupil, therefore, would make a perfect score, the grade will be 100%.
QUIZZES WILL COMPRISE 30%, THE MONTHLY TEST 35% AND THE PERIODICAL TEST 35% OF EACH GRADING PERIOD.

Thinking Freely 3
From the diary of A. Ferrer, 1985, somewhere in Hannover, Germany:
“Hunger is, as such, negative. But nevertheless, it is a much lesser evil in comparison to Greed. In fact, there is no plausible comparison between the two. Hunger can be stilled with a generous portion of a decent meal. But greed? Greed is insatiable. No amount of portion, be it generous or little, can satisfy greed. It is not a mere virus of the society, but a malignant cancer that should be taken away as soon as possible, in order to save what is still left of what has been once a healthy part of social life. Greed can be found nowhere else but in the very core of human beings infested and corrupted by it. Money, power, influence, property, or all of the aforementioned are the ‘foods’ of greed: Foods that will never fill up a bottomless hole. People from all walks of life are both victims and carriers of this cancer. I am not for eliminating walking cancers, my friend. But we can do something directly against the situation:
DO NOT FEED THEM.
DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO INFEST ANYBODY, FROM TODDLERS TO ADULTS.
DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM.
DO NOT WORK FOR OR WITH THEM.
AVOID THEM WITH ALL YOUR POWER AND DETERMINATION.
DO NOT VOTE THEM INTO OFFICE, WHETHER GOVERNMENTAL OR ECCLESIASTICAL.
DO NOT SHOW RESPECT FOR THEM BECAUSE THAT WILL SEND A DEADLY SIGNAL OF TOLERANCE, ACCEPTANCE OR IMMORAL INDIFFERENCE.
DESPISE THEM AND LET THEM FEEL THAT THEY ARE DESPISED.
DON’T GET CARRIED AWAY BY THEIR SWEET TALKS AND PROMISES.
NEVER EVER ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM. CANCER CELLS SPREAD RAPIDLY. BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THEY HAVE GOTTEN YOU ALREADY.
And yet, my friend, every person can change from within… a thorough change… a METANOIA. Should there be clear and genuine transformation, authenticated by deeds and action, another chance should be given them. Just as we would want another chance after true repentance, so should we be to our fellowmen. But unless there is this METANOIA, be strong and determined to fight this devastating social cancer called Greed.”

PARENTS AND GUARDIANS HAVE AN INHERENT RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN A SCHOOL. ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE TRUTH AND THE FUTURE OF THE INSTITUTION TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN. I WILL NOT DENY THEM OF THIS INHERENT RIGHT.

Rules for Pupils 2009-2010
In enrolling your child at our school, it should be clear that you have to follow our rules and regulations. There are valid reasons why we have certain policies, all of which are for the good of your child. Let it be therefore clear, that it is the obligation of every pupil to follow what the school has established as rules.
STRICTLY NO RUNNING, PUSHING, ELBOWING, SHOUTING AND OVERTAKING ALONG THE CORRIDORS, in the classrooms, elsewhere other than the playground (whereby we cannot control and supervise the use of the playground) and canteen, as well as in the playroom. THE SCHOOL WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS DUE TO NON-COMPLIANCE WITH SCHOOL RULES. No bullying or fighting anywhere in the campus. Eating or drinking while walking along the campus or in the office is prohibited. Shouting and fooling around in the comfort rooms are in the same manner not allowed. Blue Danube takes behavior and discipline very seriously.
When a pupil is eating/drinking during recess or lunch break, be it in the classroom or canteen (they are allowed to have their meals in the classroom if they want) HE/SHE MUST BE SEATED. No standing, playing, messing around with the food or drink, or moving around until the meal is done. If somebody is still eating, DO NOT DISTURB THEM. Eating/drinking along the corridors is not allowed.
HITTING OR HURTING SCHOOLMATES, cursing, saying bad or indecent words, committing lewd and immoral acts, bringing pornographic materials, RUDENESS AND DISRESPECT TO PERSONS OF AUTHORITY EITHER IN WORDS OR IN ACTIONS, REGULARLY DISTRACTING CLASSES IN WHATEVER MANNER, vandalism in any form, writing or carving on walls, desks, chairs and other school facilities, stealing, taking things against the will of the owner or without his/her permission, cheating, threatening classmates, touching or exposing private body parts, writing "love letters" to persons of authority or schoolmates (IT IS TOO EARLY FOR SUCH MATTERS - FOCUS ON LEARNING FIRST!), tampering and forging exercises/test papers/report cards/certifications, making false accusations or ganging-up on a pupil or a group of pupils – all these will have disciplinary consequences, first with verbal warnings from the Guidance Counselor, then with a written warning from the latter, and if still repeatedly done or no improvement is seen, with either suspension or dismissal from the school in written form.
DO NOT POINT TO OTHERS IF THE MISTAKE IS CLEARLY YOURS.
Destroyed facilities or materials shall be replaced or paid for by the pupil's parents or legal guardian. Blue Danube is not here for mere academic formation, but for character formation as well. Just as we had been consistently advising children to strictly follow school rules, we ask your support, dear parents and guardians, in reminding them, too, whether at home or in the campus, about the importance of abiding by our policies.
Along the corridors of the main building, it is emphasized that children walk along the rails (outer lane) and not at the side where the classroom doors are. We can easily avoid unwanted accidents if this would be followed. In case doors would be opened, they will always be safe if they take the outer lane.
PUPILS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER THE CLASSROOMS OF OTHERS AT ANYTIME. PERMISSION FROM THE OFFICE IS REQUIRED. You are not allowed to leave the immediate premises (within the perimeter of the steel fences separating the parking space from the main building area) during school hours. If the steel chains by the exits/entrances at the end of both corridors are put on place, no pupil is allowed to go out without permission from the Office.
Private toys, gadgets and games do not need to be brought to school. You have all the time to play with them after classes. They are not allowed at Blue Danube. The same rule applies to wearing or bringing expensive jewelry or materials. Loss or damage to such can be avoided if you will stick to our regulations. The school will not be responsible for losses of such.
If, during recess or lunch break, the pupils would want to eat with their parents or guardian, they should go to the canteen. Otherwise, pupils should EAT ALONE in their classrooms. Parents or guardians should hand-over their food or drinks by the entrance/exit. The ruling stands: NO PARENTS OR GUARDIANS ALLOWED ALONG THE CORRIDORS AND IN THE CLASSROOMS. Only if they have anything to do with the Office may they enter the main building. Parents and guardians should repeat and explain these basic policies to their children.
AFTER READING AND SIGNING THE PRINTED NEWSLETTERS, IGNORANCE OF THE RULES WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AS AN EXCUSE FOR NON-COMPLIANCE WITH CAMPUS and SCHOOL REGULATIONS. UPDATED COPIES OF SCHOOL POLICIES WILL BE POSTED ON OUR BULLETIN BOARDS AROUND THE SCHOOL. IT IS THE DUTY OF PUPILS, PARENTS and GUARDIANS TO READ AND ABIDE BY THEM.

For Parents, Guardians and Adults 2009-2010
Either our rules are followed or we separate ways.
ALWAYS BRING YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL ON TIME. Coming late on a regular basis does not only put a pupil on a disadvantage regarding learning, but distracts the normal course of teaching. Unfair to the others and unfair to the latecomer. Another factor is that your attitude of not being punctual FOR YOUR CHILD'S SAKE reflects how you care about the welfare of the pupil, both academically and discipline-wise. It also shows disrespect to the very institution that is molding your very own child. Let us be responsible guardians and adults. Let not our children suffer due to our habits or wrong mentality.
Only one guardian is allowed for every pupil and he/she is supposed to stay either at the canteen or waiting areas.
The canteen is privately managed since the start of the school year 2006-2007 and is not run by Blue Danube. All matters pertaining thereto should be addressed to the canteen management. Only in matters of non-compliance with school policies within the canteen will the Administration step-in. Otherwise, our concentration and focus remain on the education of pupils.
READING AND SIGNING ALL NEWSLETTERS IS OBLIGATORY, AS STATED IN THE LEGALLY BINDING ENROLLMENT FORM & CONTRACT. UPDATED POSTS ON BILLBOARDS AROUND THE CAMPUS AND CANTEEN SHOULD ALSO BE READ BY PARENTS & GUARDIANS AS WELL AS PUPILS. Problems will always arise if notices, newsletters and memos from the Administration are not read and followed. Nobody is exempted from campus rules & regulations. Just as we do our part in giving our best for the academic and character formation of your children, so should you do your part as well. We are teaching your children to behave and follow rules. Grown-ups should set the example for young ones IN AND OUT OF THE CAMPUS.
Decency in action, words, and clothing is mandatory for all who are within the campus. We are very particular about the following: Shouting, laughing/talking/whistling/singing LOUDLY, private sound systems that can be heard by others, putting feet on chairs/tables/benches, cutting toe/finger nails, CREATING A SCANDAL IN WHATEVER FORM, entering the campus under the influence of drugs or alcohol, bringing deadly weapons, DISRESPECT & ARROGANCE TO SCHOOL PERSONNEL, TEACHERS, SECURITY GUARDS AND PERSONS BELONGING TO THE ADMINISTRATION, entering classrooms without permission from the Administration, tampering with exercises/test papers/report cards/certifications, malicious mischief and grave misconduct like telling jokes in a very bad or insulting taste, BOMBARDING THE OFFICE WITH PHONE CALLS (YOU SHOULD TALK PERSONALLY TO US RATHER THAN OVER THE PHONE), RUMOR MONGERING, CREATING INTRIGUES, SPREADING LIES, LIBEL, SLANDER, ALWAYS COMPLAINING TO OTHERS INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE OFFICE, THUS CREATING A VERY NEGATIVE ATMOSPHERE, WHETHER AT THE CANTEEN OR ANYWHERE ELSE, vandalism, grave threat to any person, lewd or immoral acts, bringing of indecent or pornographic materials, UNSOLICITED MEDDLING WITH THE AFFAIRS OF THE FACULTY OR ADMINISTRATION, will be dealt with accordingly (legal actions, if necessary). Any person can be banned from entering a private school campus if a major rule or norm would be blatantly broken. The enrollment of your children here is voluntary and not coerced or forced. You must therefore abide by and accept our school policies.
Nevertheless, rest assured that whatever parents or guardians might do against school policies, YOUR CHILD WILL NOT SUFFER ANY CONSEQUENCE. Just as there is no room for favoritism here, so is there absolutely no place for REVENGE or PICKING ON CHILDREN. THIS PRACTICE OF OUR SCHOOL IS PROVEN THROUGH THE YEARS. Blue Danube is here to support, guide and educate pupils. Our priority will always be your children. All others are secondary.
As per school policies, TEACHERS, PERSONNEL, SECURITY GUARDS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHAT OR ENTER INTO LONG PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS WITH PARENTS OR GUARDIANS. This is a preventive measure against possible favoritism, envy, jealousy, false accusations and malicious thoughts – for short, to avoid eventual problems that might arise from such situations. In the same manner, PARENTS AND GUARDIANS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CONFRONT, ARGUE WITH OR VERBALLY ATTACK ANY TEACHER, PERSONNEL OR SCHOOL AUTHORITY.
FIGHTING OR QUARRELING AMONG ADULTS WITHIN THE CAMPUS IS ABSOLUTELY AGAINST OUR POLICY OF HARMONY AND DECENCY. OUR SCHOOL IS NOT THE PROPER VENUE TO SOLVE PERSONAL PROBLEMS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EDUCATION OF YOUR CHILDREN.
All matters will be discussed intelligently, objectively and decently at the Guidance Counseling Office if the problems have something to do with our pupils. We strictly deal with facts and evidences only. Not with opinions or personal whims. Blue Danube has its clear regulations and policies.
NEVER EVER CALL A TEACHER OR ANY PERSON WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATION “INENG, HIJA, TOTOY OR HIJO. Though young, our team is a team of professionals. Thus, due respect should be given to them.
If you have guests, please notify the office. Our “ONE PUPIL – ONE GUARDIAN” rule stands.

For the meantime, her sessions will depend on her availability. German Language lessons and Guidance & Counseling will be held on an alternating basis to accommodate all Elementary sections. For June and the first week of July, a brief repetition of last year's basic German will be undertaken. Thereafter, we will move on to a more advanced level. IN ACCORDANCE WITH EDUCATIONAL LAW FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS, ONLY PROF.DR. FERRER OR HIS DULY DESIGNATED ADMINISTRATOR, IN CASE OF INCAPACITY, CAN EITHER TAKE MS.

For those who have already reported concrete cases with the names of persons or entities, we thank you for your concern. We are gathering all evidences if there be any violation of these regulations.
