October 13, 2014 AN OPEN LETTER TO PARENTS AND PUPILS Dear Parents and Pupils, It’s more than 6 months since I LEFT/RESIGNED from AYZ Little Saints School as its School Principal from March 2013 to April 8, 2014. It was a decision that left me no choice as my husband’s niece Josie P. Navarro, the partner of Z in AYZ and who recruited me (A and Y are no longer connected from the school that some loyal parents know what happened in the past.) just pulled out from serving as Fund Manager on March 31, 2014. I came at a time the school was encountering financial setback that parents thought that the school was closing. It is my belief and the belief of most parents who had showed their unwavering support in the educational programs and plans I introduced to improve the quality of education in the school made a big difference in the school compound, and among teachers, parents and pupils and the administration. I have enumerated all of these in the Accomplishment Report below which some of which were already stated on April 3, 2014 during the Triple Event (Moving Up/Recognition/Graduation Day). You may ask…why I just disappeared without the benefit of saying my goodbye to you on April 3, 2014. I should have done it but I was hesitant as it was like campaigning that you must leave also. Only some PTA officers knew as I bade them goodbye. So, it’s goodbye to all of you, my dear parents and pupils. My teachers knew my resignation as early as March 31, 2014 which was finalized on April 8, 2014 after completing and signing school forms for submission to DepEd Pampanga. It pains my heart to leave that I was not given a chance for another year more to pursue some of the educational reforms I started to make the school soar high especially the opening of a Special Education Program for the Mentally Gifted/Fast Learners for School Year 2014-2015. One year is so short. I don’t blame our niece who carried all the burden of financing payrolls of our teachers from December 2013 to March 31, 2014. The school is not mine and it is run by businesswomen. First and foremost I am an educator who serves for the benefit of the school the pupils and the teachers.and so, we always differ in views. “Yon pong mga posted na events/photos such as Nutrition Program, Linggo ng Wika, Acquaintance Party, Teachers Day Program, NEZAAM, PAMPRIZAAM at Valentine’s Party (unfinished as others were not posted yet) pakikopya na ninyo dahil buburahin na namin ang website na ito na ginawa ng anak ko during my term. Pasensya na at di na naposted ang mga Graduation photos dahil paalis na ako.” Ingatan po natin ang school at sana mabigyan ng tamang education ang ating mga anak. Pagpalain kayo ng Maykapal! (SGD) ROSALINDA T. CORDERO Former School Principal School Year 2013-2014 RESIGNATION LETTER May 2, 2014 The Management AYZ Little Saints School, Inc. San Pedro 2, Magalang M a d a m : Parting is such sweet sorrow as I love my work, the school, its environment, bonding with my angels, the teachers and parents but especially with my little saints whom I call my little saints. The pupils are the center of the educational system. That was what 45 years of teaching I went through with my life as a teacher and as an educator. The above-mentioned factors are my medicine while education has been my passion. But I regret to inform you of my irrevocable resignation starting April 16, 2014 after completing and signing all the forms (138, 137, 1 and reports on promotion) for submission to DepEd Division of Pampanga since Mrs. Josie P. Navarro is turning over/pulling out from handling the fund management of the school. Our agreement was when she leaves, I go, too, and that was not within my control. At the very onset, I have great contributions to the school (reflected in the Accomplishment Report) and it also includes getting that back permit for School Year 2014-2015. Dr. Isabelita Perfecto, the BEE Chief was supposed to sign the approval of the back DepEd permit and DepEd Recognition once another appeal letter and No Tuition Fee hike be forwarded (but for SY 2015-2016) this coming June (2014). The Recognition was already recommended by Mr. Cornelius Ducut as early as February 2014 which is included here. He requested so many documents including a narrative report to get his recommendation meaning we had to go back to DepEd Pampanga several times just to deliver documents he wanted for recognition. He is the Division of Pampanga’s in-charge of recommendations and interviews. Also credited for these approved documents in the region is Mr. Jerry Bognot, a friend and a brother of my co-teacher who entrusted these to Dr. Perfecto. He is now retired. Let us not forget these people including your humble self. My only regret was I was not given a year more to open the Special Education (SPED) Program for the Mentally Gifted/Fast Learners which will make the school soar high as there are no SPED centers in Magalang. The final curtain on my leaving the school is this resignation letter as there was no written contract between us. I want to protect the name I have established in the public elementary school system under the Department of Education, Angeles City from 1962 to 2007 and as a Master Teacher II and as the SPED Coordinator of Sto. Rosario Elementary School. I am proud to say that I am a graduate of the Philippine Normal College of which I earned my BSEED, also an alumna of the University of the Philippines (Diliman) MASPED and Angeles University Foundation Graduate Studies where I finished my Master of Arts in Education, major in Educational Management. Thank you very much. I enjoyed working in the school. God bless you both and more power to you! Very truly yours, (SGD) ROSALINDA T.
