Dear 色站之家students, parents and guardians,听
Welcome back to a new and exciting school year! As we begin this journey together, we are filled with anticipation and enthusiasm for the wonderful opportunities and experiences that lie ahead. Our dedicated team of educators is eager to support our students in achieving their fullest potential.
This year, our chapel theme is Practice Gratitude. “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances.鈥� We believe that embracing this theme will help us cultivate a positive and thankful community, enhancing our daily interactions and overall well-being.
Here is some important information to help you get started:

DRESS CODE/UNIFORM:
As we eagerly await the first day of school, I鈥檇 like to share some important updates regarding our uniform dress code.
For our new students, boys will need the blue jacket, and girls will need the maroon jacket. These are standard for all students. Our Bookstore has been offering a wider range of cozy options, including sweatshirts, sweaters, jackets, and hoodies, perfect for colder and rainy weather. If a size isn’t available, it can be ordered. Feel free to visit the bookstore and speak with Ms. Alex Carreon, our school cashier, for assistance. More items can be purchased from the bookstore by calling Ms. Alex Carreon at 442-4050 or emailing her at alexandra.carreon@brentbaguio.edu.ph.
As part of this dress code, we also kindly ask that boys wear belts and tuck in their shirts.
These guidelines help us maintain a professional and unified appearance, fostering a sense of pride and community among our students.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in ensuring our students align with 色站之家International School Baguio鈥檚 mission and values. If you have any questions or concerns, please don鈥檛 hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your support!
