Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 23) — The Department of Education (DepEd) on Saturday released the guidelines for the conduct of enrollment for school year (SY) 2022-2023, comprising of three procedures, namely, in-person, remote, and through dropbox forms.
“In preparation for the opening of SY 2022-2023 on August 22, 2022, and in consideration of the easing of mobility restrictions, DepEd will be implementing the enhanced enrollment procedures that are reflective of the current health and safety situation in the country for SY 2022-2023,” DepEd Order No. 35, signed by Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte, read.
For the in-person enrollment, parents and learners may enroll physically in schools, provided that minimum health and safety standards are observed, including the wearing of face masks, temperature checks, physical distancing, and availability of alcohol.
Remote enrollment, meanwhile, can be done through digital forms to be sent via the school’s official email address or messaging platforms.
A third way to enrol is through dropbox forms where parents and students will fill out the enrollment form and submit it physically through dropboxes in schools. Dropboxes may be set up in learning facilities, barangay halls, or any other visible and accessible areas.
The enrollment period for the coming school year is scheduled from July 25 to August 22.

By November 2, schools are required to implement full face-to face classes amid calls of some groups for more flexibility in the conduct of classes. The DepEd said that in-person classes will push through regardless of the alert level status set in an area.
