Assessment Monitoring Form for DepEd Three-Term School Calendar (SY 2026–2027): Your Complete Guide + Free Download

If you’ve been scrambling to find a ready-to-use Assessment Monitoring Form that actually fits the new three-term school calendar, you are not alone. With the rollout of DepEd Order No. 009, s. 2026, Filipino teachers across the country are navigating a completely restructured school year — and your classroom assessment tools need to catch up.

The good news? We’ve got you covered. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about the Assessment Monitoring Form under the new trimester system, including what it contains, how to use it for each term, and — best of all — you can download the file for FREE at the end of this article.

Let’s dive in.

What Is an Assessment Monitoring Form?

An Assessment Monitoring Form is a structured document used by teachers to systematically track, record, and analyze learner performance data across a given period. It serves as an organized tool for:

Recording results of formative and summative assessments
Identifying learners who are at risk or struggling with specific competencies
Informing instructional decisions and lesson adjustments
Documenting intervention or remediation efforts (such as ARAL sessions)
Communicating learner progress to parents, school heads, and other stakeholders

“Classroom assessment is a joint process that involves both teachers and learners. It is an integral part of teaching and learning.” — DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015

Under the new system, this form becomes even more critical because teachers are now expected to monitor learner progress across three distinct academic terms — each with its own assessment windows and reporting requirements.

Why the Assessment Monitoring Form Matters More Than Ever in SY 2026–2027

The Shift to a Three-Term School Calendar

Starting June 8, 2026, all public schools in the Philippines officially transitioned from a four-quarter system to a three-term school calendar under DepEd Order No. 009, s. 2026 — signed by Education Secretary Sonny Angara. The school year runs through April 8, 2027, covering a total of 201 class days.

Here is a quick overview of the three terms:

Term	Instructional Period	End-of-Term Block
Term 1	June 15 – September 1, 2026 (54 days)	September 2–15, 2026 (10 days)
Term 2	September 16 – December 4, 2026 (55 days)	December 7–18, 2026 (10 days)
Term 3	January 4 – March 23, 2027 (61 days)	March 24 – April 8, 2027

Each term consists of three key blocks:

Opening Block — for learner profiling, readiness assessments, and orientation
Instructional Block — dedicated, uninterrupted teaching and learning time
End-of-Term Block — summative assessments, ARAL remediation, report card distribution, and parent-teacher conferences

With this new structure, teachers now need three monitoring cycles per school year instead of four. This changes the rhythm of how you document assessment data — and why having a well-designed Assessment Monitoring Form tailored to the trimester system is essential.

New Grading System Under DO 015, s. 2026

Hand-in-hand with the three-term calendar is DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 — the Revised Guidelines on Classroom Assessment, Grading System, and Awards and Recognition. Key changes include:

Students must now attain a raw score of 70 to 72.99 to receive a passing grade of 75 (previously, a raw score of 60 was enough)
Teachers administer two summative tests per term — the first covering the first 15 instructional days and the second covering the next 15
The goal is to eventually shift to a zero-based grading system by SY 2027–2028

Your Assessment Monitoring Form must reflect these new standards. That’s exactly what our downloadable template does.

What Should a DepEd Assessment Monitoring Form Include?

A comprehensive Assessment Monitoring Form aligned with the three-term calendar should contain the following sections:

Learner Information

Full name of learner
Grade level and section
LRN (Learner Reference Number)
School year and term (Term 1, 2, or 3)

Formative Assessment Records

Formative assessments are ongoing checks for understanding done during the Instructional Block. These include:

Quizzes and short tests
Seatwork and classwork outputs
Recitations and class participation
Performance tasks in progress

Note: Formative assessment results are not included in the computation of summative grades but are critical for instructional decision-making.

Summative Test Results (Per Term)

Under the new grading system, two summative tests are given per term:

Summative Test	Coverage	Date Administered
Summative Test 1	First 15 instructional days	[Insert Date]
Summative Test 2	Next 15 instructional days	[Insert Date]

Term Examination Score

The Term Examination is administered during the End-of-Term Block and covers the competencies taught during the entire Instructional Block.

Term Grade Computation

Component	Weight
Written Work (Summative Tests)	25%
Performance Tasks	50%
Term Examination	25%

(Weights may vary per subject and grade level — always refer to DO 015, s. 2026 for subject-specific guidelines.)

Intervention and Remediation Log

This section records whether the learner was referred to the ARAL Program and the type of intervention received during the End-of-Term Block.

Date of ARAL session
Specific learning gaps addressed
Progress after intervention
Remarks by the teacher

Teacher’s Remarks and Recommendations

Space for qualitative notes on the learner’s progress, behavior, attendance patterns, and recommended next steps.

How to Use the Assessment Monitoring Form Across Term 1, 2, and 3

Term 1 (June – September 2026)

The first week of Term 1 is the Opening Block, where teachers conduct baseline assessments and learner profiling — this is your starting point. Fill in initial data, note each learner’s readiness level, and set your targets for the term.

During the Instructional Block (June 15 – September 1), use the monitoring form to:

Record Summative Test 1 scores (after the first 15 instructional days)
Record Summative Test 2 scores (after the next 15 instructional days)
Log any formative assessment highlights

During the End-of-Term Block (September 2–15), finalize:

Term Examination scores
Computed term grades
Learners for ARAL referral

Term 2 (September – December 2026)

Term 2 picks up immediately after Term 1’s end-of-term block. Use your monitoring form from Term 1 as a reference — learners who struggled in Term 1 should already have intervention notes that guide your Term 2 approach.

Continue tracking the two summative tests
Note improvements or persistent gaps
Prepare data for the December End-of-Term Block and parent-teacher conferences

Term 3 (January – April 2027)

Term 3 is the longest instructional block (61 days). By this point, your monitoring forms from Terms 1 and 2 provide a rich picture of each learner’s trajectory throughout the year. Use this accumulated data to:

Target specific competencies for remediation
Finalize annual grades accurately
Document evidence of learning growth for Awards and Recognition

Tips for Maximizing Your Assessment Monitoring Form

Here are practical strategies Filipino teachers can immediately apply:

Update weekly, not monthly. The more frequently you update your monitoring form, the easier it is to spot struggling learners early — before the End-of-Term Block puts you under pressure.
Color-code your data. Use simple color indicators (e.g., green for mastered, yellow for developing, red for needs intervention) to make at-a-glance monitoring faster during busy school days.
Align with your ILAW Lesson Plan. Your DLL or lesson plan under the ILAW framework already includes formative assessment activities. Your monitoring form should directly capture the outcomes of those activities.
Share data with school heads. Your school head or master teacher may request monitoring data during walkthroughs or supervisory visits, especially during the End-of-Term Block. Keeping your form updated saves you from last-minute scrambling.
Use it as evidence for PMES. Your Assessment Monitoring Form can serve as supporting documentation for your Performance Management and Evaluation System (PMES) under the multi-year guidelines for SY 2025–2028.
Link it to your ARAL referral. Learners flagged in your monitoring form as below the passing threshold (raw score below 70) should be formally referred to the ARAL Program. Your monitoring data is the paper trail that justifies that referral.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Assessment Monitoring Form

Q: Is the Assessment Monitoring Form required by DepEd?
A: While DepEd does not prescribe a single national template for classroom-level assessment monitoring, the practice of tracking and documenting learner progress is mandated under DepEd classroom assessment guidelines. Schools and divisions often issue their own templates; our downloadable form is aligned with current national policies.

Q: How is the Assessment Monitoring Form different from the class record?
A: The class record is primarily used to record and compute grades. The Assessment Monitoring Form goes deeper — it tracks individual learner progress across competencies, documents interventions, and supports instructional decision-making. Think of the class record as your grade book and the monitoring form as your learning tracker.

Q: Do I need a separate form for each term?
A: Yes. Since each of the three terms has its own assessment cycle and competency targets, it’s best practice to use a separate form per term — or a unified form with clearly divided Term 1, Term 2, and Term 3 sections.

Q: Can I use this form for both Grade School and High School?
A: Absolutely. The form is designed to be adaptable across grade levels and learning areas. Simply fill in the subject, grade level, and competency targets relevant to your class.
