About the Founder

May 15

Saint John Baptist de La Salle

(1651 - 1719)

Founder of the Institute of the Brothers of

the Christian Schools

Patron of Christian Educators

Born in Rheims, France, on April 30, 1651, John Baptist

de La Salle completed seminary studies in Philosophy and

Theology, including the doctorate, and was ordained priest on

April 9, 1678. He overcame continuous opposition in founding

the Religious Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools to provide a human and

Christian education for the children of the artisan and the poor, who were deprived of such

an opportunity. He esteemed the teaching ministry to be so important that the Brothers

would not be tempted to abandon their primary ministry of teaching.

He developed, with the rst Brothers, revolutionary teaching methods in the use of

the vernacular language, the grouping and instructing of students according to ability and

achievement, the integration of human and Christian education, the systematic preparation

of teachers, and the involvement of parents. The institute he founded was the rst lay male

religious community in the Church. The Rule of the Brothers later served as a model for a

number of other teaching congregations.

After long years of heroic service, John Baptist de La Salle died on Good Friday,

April 7, 1719, in Rouen, France. He was beatied on February 19, 1888, and canonized on

May 24, 1900. On May 15, 1950, Pope Pius XII proclaimed Saint John Baptist de La Salle

the heavenly Patron of all Christian teachers.

THE BROTHERS OF THE CHRISTIAN

SCHOOLS IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Brothers rst came to the Philippines in 1911, when they were invited by the

Archbishop of Manila to set up a Catholic school for the children of the upper class in the

country’s capital. The Bishop was concerned then about the growing number of American

Protestant schools in the country that he sought the help of the Brothers to stem the tide of

this growing inuence among the children of the country’s leading families.

Although the Brothers found themselves in a situation where they were providing

education for the children of the elite, they endeavored to remain true to their mission by

inculcating in their students a deep concern for the plight of their less privileged countrymen.

It was hoped that their Lasallian education would encourage them to utilize and develop

their talents and their resources in serving the nation, as they were bound to succeed their

fathers in taking the helm of the Philippine economic, political, and cultural life.

As the Brothers in the Philippines grew in number, as their resources allowed, they

gradually established more La Salle schools directly serving the needs of the poor and

underprivileged through education in the country.

Today, to be more efcient and effective in the implementation of the Lasallian

Mission, the Brothers of the Christian Schools established a network of 17 Lasallian schools

known as De La Salle Philippines (DLSP) comprising the following District Schools:

LUZON

• De La Salle – College of St. Benilde

THE INTEGRATED SCHOOL

VISION MISSION AND OBJECTIVES

Vision: The USLS-IS is a Catholic, Filipino, co-educational private school administered

by the La Salle Brothers and Lay Educators. It envisions a school community as an instrument

of evangelization towards the process of achieving total human salvation.

Mission: It commits to the formation of Christian values and pursuit of relevant

education for life. As a school community, inspired by the charism of St. John Baptist de La

Salle, it seeks that each member of the community will:

1. instill and nurture spiritual and moral responsibilities

2. enhance intellectual and physical potentials

3. develop emotional and social maturity

4. cultivate concern and service for the Church of the poor

5. act as responsible steward of God’s creation

6. take pride of being a Filipino

7. live the Lasallian Heritage

DEFINITION OF TERMS

In order to better understand the vision, mission and objectives of the Integrated

School, some phrases have been dened:

1. Agent of Evangelization

Evangelization in the Lasallian school is the work of the whole school community,

since everything the school community does fosters the authentic development

of persons under its power, which leads them to become more like Christ. The

Lasallian school offers young people the opportunity to live with others the gospel

message they are taught. It offers a powerful experience of a Christian community

precisely because it strives to be one; it is where the Gospel is proclaimed through

the witness of life.

2. Church of the Poor

It means a church that embraces and practices the evangelical spirit of profound

trust in the Lord as sole source of salvation. While the Lord does not want anyone

to be materially poor, he wants all his followers to be “poor in spirit.”

3. Formation of Christian Values

Curriculum includes values integration in all subject areas, Christian Living

instruction, campus ministry and social programs provided to indicate and

form students to live the gospel values.

4. Integral / Total Human Salvation

The goal of Lasallian education is to enable students to make real in their

lives the gift of salvation in Christ by enabling them to live by the Christian

spirit in their particular context, contributing to the fulllment of God’s reign

of justice, love, and peace through their work in the world. Salvation in Christ

is progressively realized in the Lasallian school through an educational project

that takes into account all aspects of human development in its reorientation

towards Christ who is the paradigm of the human person liberated from sin

and made new.

5. Lasallian Heritage

The founder’s life story, charism, and spirituality, Lasallian Vision – Mission,

Philosophy of Lasallian Education embody the Lasallian heritage.

6. Relevant Education for Life

Lasallian education is an education for life. It seeks to prepare young people

for responsible participation in the world of work, in the family, in the

community, and wider society. It strives to prepare them to face actual life

situations with integrity and competence.

Thrust

ONE IN LASALLIAN FAITH

COMMITTED TO SERVICE & EXCELLENCE

One in Lasallian Faith

Faith is a fundamental virtue to a Lasallian community. Through this charism, the light

of the Gospel pervades the hearts and minds of all Lasallians enabling them to discern

God’s will in whatever circumstance they are in and to afrm that the act of coming together

is a manifestation of God’s intervention.

Committed to Service and Excellence

Lasallian education is marked by zeal. All strive to be of service to others by

expressing concern and compassion for the plight of the poor and marginalized sectors of

society and by responding to their needs.

Lasallian education transforms distinct individuals who take the progressive

responsibility for their own continuous learning and development.

It impels learners to translate their knowledge into actual practice for the

betterment of society. It prepares individuals to be responsible participants in life.

HISTORY OF

THE USLS-INTEGRATED SCHOOL

The rst group of Brothers, nine in numbers, arrived in Manila in 1911 upon the

invitation of the Archbishop of Manila to establish a college of standard. Paco was the

original site of the Brothers’ rst school, and later, in 1921, a new building was erected on

the present site at Taft Avenue. From this modest beginning the pioneer effort of the rst

La Salle Brothers developed until at present. There are eighteen (18) District Schools and a

number of La Salle supervised schools throughout the country.

The La Salle Brothers came to Bacolod City in response to the ardent invitation of

the Negrense who felt a great need for the type of education the Brothers were offering.

Through a ten - hectare donation of the late Mr. Alfredo Montelibano, Sr., La Salle -

Bacolod came into existence.

In July 1952, with 189 graders ranging from Prep to Grade 5 and a teaching force

of seven, La Salle College - Bacolod formally opened. Three of the faculty members were

Bro. Dennis of Mary, Bro. Hugh Wester and Bro. V. Felix Masson and the fourth Brother, Bro.

Gratian of Mary, joined in September of same year. The following year, grade 6 was added.

During the school year 1952 - 1953, the parents requested for the opening of the

high school department. On February 9, 1952, cement footings were poured for the rst

high school wing.

Classes opened in 1953 with 24 freshmen, all males. At rst, the Brothers accepted

student - boarders, there were 56 of them under the supervision of Bro Gratian Murray.

The present laboratory and lecture hall served as their sleeping quarters and study hall.

In its second year of operation La Salle had 453 boys in the three edging

departments.

School year 1977 -1978 marked the Silver Jubilee of the founding of La Salle -

Bacolod. Numerous activities were scheduled to commemorate ttingly the foundation. In

1978 the Grade School received its PAASCU Accreditation, the High School received its

Accreditation in 1980.

At the end of the school year 1984 - 85, the institution decided to place under one

administration the elementary and secondary levels to compose basic education program

for La Salle - Bacolod, thus the birth of the La Salle - Bacolod Integrated School.

The effort was a practical move since it was felt that the elementary and secondary

levels should progressively and interruptedly form one continuum. Such move would be for

the overall betterment of the students’ education.

Since 1986 La Salle has accepted as part of its clientele, Kinder and Prep Girls. It

was not until 1987, however, that the Board of Trustees ofcially handed its decision to turn

coed both the grade school and the high school. The inclusion of girls in the once exclusive

school for boys has not drastically changed the school’s mission statement. The school’s

objectives remain basically the same. However, changes have been made regarding

the manner by which these objectives are attained. In a nutshell, the objectives can be

summarized into: 1) holistic development, 2) social awareness and involvement, 3) academic

excellence, 4) concern for the poor, 5) love for one’s country and being a Filipino.

The succeeding events constitute the milestones of the Integrated School:

July 5, 1988

To bear the burdens of my brothers and sisters

Teach me to seek Your Son’s face

In the last, the lost, and the least.

In whatever I undertake,

May I seek above all things

To procure Your glory

As far as I am able,

And as You will require of me.

Strengthen me by Your Holy Spirit

To follow Jesus

By living the commitment

I make this day.

Amen.

I will continue oh my God to do

all my actions for the love of You

Saint John Baptist de La Salle.

Pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts

Forever!

ONE LA SALLE PRAYER

Lord,

Let me be the change I want to see

To do with strength and wisdom

All that needs to be done

And become the hope that I can be

Set me free from my fears and hesitations

Grant me courage and humility

Fill me with spirit to face the challenge

And start the change I long to see

Even if I’m not the light

I can be the spark

In Faith, Service and Communion

Let us start the change we want to see

the change that begins in me

PRAYER AT THE END OF THE DAY

The day is over, O Lord, and I commit its failures

As well as its successes into your hands.

I rejoice in your tender care and celebrate your loving presence.

I pray that you will heal the wounds of those I have hurt.

I place in your care those I love most

And those through whom you ministered to me this day.

Bless them and keep them and ll their lives with joy.

I pray that you may somehow reach those whom

I couldn’t love or cause to feel my love

That other faithful servants of yours

May convey your concern for them.

Grant that I may truly learn how to love

as you love me.

And demonstrate that love to the lonely, the sick,

The despairing, the poor and the neglected people along my path.

This day is over, O Lord,

Its blessings and conicts and disappointments.

If it is within your will, grant me another day,

And help me to live in your strength

and according to your plan.

For the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

St. John Baptist de La Salle… Pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts… forever.

I will continue oh my God to do all my actions for the love of you.

Saint John Baptist de La Salle.

Pray for us.

Live Jesus in our Hearts.

Forever!

testing site.

4.3 The urine sample will be divided into two parts, the rst of which shall

go to the University of St. La Salle and the other to the Department

of Health (DOH) for safekeeping. The rst part will be tested by a

VCA Memo No. 14 s. 2018-2019

IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES ON “NO PAYMENT, NO EXAM POLICY”

effective SY 2018-2019

For the INTEGRATED SCHOOL

1. The Business Ofce will release the statement of accounts to the Level

Vice Principals two (2) weeks before quarterly exams.

2. Three (3) days before exams, the Business Ofce will accept requests

for Promissory Notes (PN) requiring at least 50% of what is due

for the quarter. An exam permit is given after paying the amount

indicated in the PN.

3. Fines for non-payment of the balance as indicated in the Promissory

Note after a two-week grace period will be imposed as follows:

- 1st week after the deadline P100

- 2nd week after the deadline 200

- 3rd week after the deadline 300

- Beyond the 3rd week 100/week but not to exceed P500

4. Failure to pay the balance as indicated in the promissory note will

automatically disqualify the student’s parent or guardian to apply

for a succeeding promissory note.

5. On the First Day of exams, students without exam permit may be

allowed to take the exams for the day but will not be allowed to take

the exams for the succeeding days unless accounts have been settled

at the Business Ofce.

B. SPECIAL EXAMINATION GUIDELINES

When a student is absent during the exam days because of serious reason (i.e.

illness or unavoidable circumstances) the following should be followed:

1. Parents should notify the Level Vice Principal or Vice Principal for

Academics before the scheduled exams. If no communication is done

with the school, the student is not allowed to take a special exam.

2. SOP on absences should be followed by the student upon returning to school.

3. Students are required to pay P30.00 for every exam missed to defray

special exam preparation.

C. SPECIAL PROVISIONS ON CHEATING

Cheating is a form of academic dishonesty and it has no place in La Salle.

The students are expected to prepare for their lessons every day and do their

academic requirements and activities honestly.

To strengthen the Lasallian values formation program, the following

sanctions are imposed on students who violate this policy:

1. During a Summative Assessment

Cheating in any form during a summative assessment will forfeit the

student’s score for that assessment. The student should be reported to

the Level Vice Principal and/or DFO in writing. The next offense will put

the student under Disciplinary Probation (DP) with a C in Deportment.

2. During a Quarterly Assessment/Examination

Cheating in any form during the quarterly assessment or examination

will automatically fail the student in that particular subject for the

quarter because he/she forfeits all previous scores. The student should

be reported to the Level Vice Principal and/or DFO in writing. The

Deportment grade for that quarter will be C.

IX. POLICY ON HOMEWORK AND ASSIGNMENTS

Importance

Homework serves a very purposeful role in the learning process because

it establishes the link between school and the outside world. It establishes the

responsibility in students to “follow through.” That is, homework/or assignments help

them to accept responsibility for bringing work from school to home and then from

home to school.

Responsibilities of Parents and Guardians:

1. Participate in establishing a relationship between home and school;

2. Provide a good homework environment, including a quiet work space, proper

lighting, a specic time and necessary school supplies;

3. Help a child with homework assignments, such as Math or Spelling problems,

offer guidance with research and assist on project;

4. Provide help as needed, but also be sure that the work is completed by the

child, not the parent or sibling;

5. Check a child’s work to ensure the assignments are ready to be brought to

school;

6. Demonstrate an interest in the child’s work and offer praise and encouragement;

7. Be responsive to the child’s concerns or confusion about the assignments; and

8. Communicate with the subject teachers any related concerns.

Important: Appropriate homework and assignments may be required of all students

from Monday to Thursday. No homework is to be given during Fridays except for

subjects held twice or once a week.

Part 4

DISCIPLINE POLICIES

RATIONALE

The University of St. La Salle Integrated School offers education that is viewed from

a holistic perspective. The development of values and attitudes which encourages mature

and responsible behavior is viewed as an integral part of the education of the youth.

The sole purpose of the rules set and enforced by the school is to further the process of

developing a Christian and rened Lasallian. The students are encouraged to practice

self-control and discipline. However, since proper guidance, direction and correction are

necessary, the following policies will be carried out to maintain discipline and order not

only in school but in all areas of life.

PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT

The DepEd states that “Every private school is required to maintain school discipline

at a level consistent with accomplishment of good school work” and that “a private school

is entitled at any time to drop from school a student who is considered undesirable.” The

DepEd also provides the principal and teachers with a Special Parental Authority.

I. DISCIPLINE CASES

In disciplinary concerns that do not warrant dismissal, the Discipline and Formation

Ofcer (DFO) will handle discipline matters in coordination with the Level Vice

Principal. Otherwise, the matter will be referred to the Principal.

II. THE DISCIPLINE BOARD

The Discipline Board is a fact-nding body that may be convened by the Principal

to hear charge(s) on student(s) of any possible offense that may warrant dismissal

or expulsion. It shall be composed of ve (5) members appointed by the Principal. It

submits its ndings and recommendation to the Principal who makes the nal decision.

III. COMPUTATION OF DEPORTMENT GRADE

The deportment grade is computed by the Homeroom Adviser based on the number

of x’s and z’s found in the subject teachers’ comments code. X refers to disruptive

behavior, code Z refers to excellent behavior. However, the DFO’s deportment grade

will supersede the Homeroom Adviser’s if the former’s grade is lower. The DFO’s

grade is based on other violations committed by the student.

The nal deportment grade is based on the following:

A Outstanding (2 Z’s or more, no X’s) (95-100)

A- Highly Satisfactory (1’Z, no X’s) (90-94)

B+ Satisfactory (no Z’s, no X’s) (85-89)

B Fair (no Z’s, 1 X) (80-84)

B- Unsatisfactory (no Z’s, 2 X’s) (75-79)

C Subject to Disciplinary Action (no Z’s, 3 X’s) (74 and below)

IV. DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR

This is a behavior manifested or displayed by the student that interrupts and disturbs

the smooth ow of the teaching-learning process in the classroom. The behavior

is documented through the Student Class Deportment Report (SCDR) which will be

issued to the parent/guardian upon submission of the Student Deportment Report

(SDR) by the subject teacher.

The Code X is given to a student who fails to show consistent improved

behavior after the Student’s Class Deportment Report has been sent to his/her

parents/guardian. The following are classied as Disruptive Behaviors:

1. All forms of deance

2. Bringing and playing cards and toys during class

3. Boisterous laughter

4. Borrowing of books and other materials (especially from another room) during

class hours without asking permission

5. Coming in late during exchange of periods

6. Continuous talking, speaking indecent/vulgar words, making unnecessary or

irritating sounds in spite of a warning

not related to the subject during class hours

11. Transferring of seat during class without permission from the subject teacher

12. Unbecoming or indecent behavioral manifestation of boy-girl relationship

during class hours

13. Any offense analogous to the above.

V. DEFINITION OF CONSEQUENCES

For violations of school rules and regulations the following shall be imposed:

A. Warning

This is a written notication to both the student and parents/ guardians to

inform and caution the student on the consequences of the conduct.

B. Memory Exercise

A written activity given to students in order to remind him/her about a certain

school policy.

C. Work Detention

Work Detention is given for a matter which is considered by the DFO to be

serious either due to one isolated act or to consistent negative attitude or

behavior e.g. habitual misbehavior or disregard of school policy.

D. Suspension

Suspension from classes forbids attendance in regular classes but demands

the presence of the student in school to perform the task assigned by the DFO.

E. Dismissal

This is a nal and irrevocable withdrawal from school. The Principal, after

consultation with the Discipline Board, may dismiss a student. Dismissal

is incurred by misconduct of a very serious nature calling for immediate

withdrawal. However, DP/ SDP students who warrant dismissal do not require

the convening of the Discipline Board.

F. Expulsion

Expulsion is a very serious punishment recommended only by the Principal with

the approval of the Department of Education. A student who has been expelled

from school is forbidden to enroll in any other school.

VI. DISCIPLINARY PROBATION

misbehavior or a single grave breach conduct. Its sole purpose is to help the student

improve his/her future conduct.
