The Quezon City Government has released new official guidelines for the automatic suspension of classes in city-run schools. These guidelines specify the conditions, such as typhoons, extreme heat, or other calamities, under which classes will be suspended without a separate announcement. This is critical information for all QC parents, students, and educators as it directly impacts daily school schedules and safety planning. Knowing the official rules helps families prepare for disruptions and understand when a school day is automatically cancelled. The full guidelines are available via a link in the official Quezon City Government Facebook post. The policy clarifies that classes are considered ‘in session’ by default unless a suspension announcement is made according to the new criteria.
