SPLA means Self-Paced Learning Activities. These are tasks given to students when classes are suspended. They are asynchronous, which means children can finish them at their own time and pace.
SPLA helps ensure that learning continues even if classes cannot push through
because of weather disturbances, flooding, or other emergencies.
Teachers upload activities and presentations to Google Classroom. Some tasks may
also be written and answered in notebooks/papers/online documents for later checking.
SPLA is part of the learning process and is checked by the teachers. It may be included
as part of formative assessment, but it will not unfairly affect grades if a child cannot
complete it immediately due to emergencies.
Parents are expected to:
- Help children access Google Classroom or the given materials.
- Provide guidance and encouragement.
- Communicate with the adviser if tasks cannot be done due to valid reasons (e.g.,
flooding, power outage).
No. Teachers prepare manageable tasks across subjects. The activities are designed to
be short, focused, and age-appropriate, not to overload learners.
Yes. If the materials are already available on Google Classroom, your child can work on them early. However, quizzes and deadlines will follow the official schedule given by the teacher and on a Face-to-Face session.
The school releases SPLA instructions through:
- Google Classroom
- Announcement of the class advisers
- Official school announcements
- Parent/guardian group chats
During suspension, formal online classes are not allowed as per DILG/LGU/DepEd
order. Your child may work on SPLA right away if he or she wants, but these remain
asynchronous tasks — not live sessions.
