    The kick-off of a limited face-to-face (F2F) class for technical vocational livelihood (TVL) students was graced by the Director IV Jocelyn D.R. Andaya of DepEd Central Office- Bureau of Curriculum and Development, regional director Estela L. Cariño and School Division superintendent Gloria B. Buya-ao and other DepEd officials in welcome program Feb 17 at the BeNHS covered court. The TVL students of the school were excited during the program, they wore their complete uniforms and looked highly esteemed as they lined-up to visit their classrooms.
    Prior to the re-opening of the limited f2f classes, parents and teachers orientation including learners were conducted and all other requirements reflected in the school safety assessment tool (SSAT) were provided and validated.
