Friday, 29 May 2009 at 7:32 am · Uncategorized

Given the developments related to the A(H1N1) virus, Xavier School is postponing the parent orientations scheduled next week. Please wait for further advice on this. Meanwhile, we enjoin everyone to take every possible precaution. For students and parents who recently arrived from overseas travel, may we request you to observe the DOH-prescribed ten-day self-quarantine and to seek medical attention at the first sign of any flu-like symptoms. Let us all cooperate to ensure that the Xavier School community remains healthy and safe from the A(H1N1) virus. Thank you!
