Due to the absence of a Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS), orange or red rainfall warnings, and any executive order, classes at Kananga National High School are not suspended today, January 5, 2026.
Based on DepEd Order No. 22, s. 2024, also known as the Revised Guidelines on Class and Work Suspension in Schools During Disasters and Emergencies, and Executive Order No. 66, s. 2012, titled Prescribing Rules on the Cancellation or Suspension of Classes and Work in Government Offices due to Typhoons, Flooding, and Other Weather Disturbances, automatic class suspension will take effect in the following situations:
- Signal No. 1: Classes for kindergarten in the affected areas shall be automatically suspended.
- Signal No. 2: Face-to-face classes for kindergarten, elementary, and junior high school in the affected areas shall be automatically suspended and shift to modular distance learning.
- Signal No. 3: Classes and work at all levels in the affected areas are automatically suspended.
Meanwhile, during inclement weather in the absence of a tropical cyclone signal, PAGASA may issue Heavy Rainfall and Flood Warnings to specific areas:
- Yellow Rainfall Warning: The Schools Division Superintendent may consult the local chief executive of the affected areas for possible localized class suspension, but modular distance learning must continue.
- Orange or Red Rainfall Warning:
- If the warning is issued while classes are ongoing, school heads are advised to send learners (kindergarten to Grade 12, including Alternative Learning System [ALS] enrollees) home when it is deemed safe. If it is not safe to go home, school administrators must ensure the safety of learners within the school premises until it is safe to leave.
- If the warning is issued before classes start, classes are automatically suspended for kindergarten to Grade 12 and ALS learners.
In the absence of a wind signal and orange/red rainfall warning, but if an area is expected to experience severe or hazardous weather conditions due to other factors, the mayor, as head of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (LDRRMC), may also suspend classes and work via an executive order if deemed necessary.
