As of September 28, 2026, public school teachers are reminded that the deadline for the submission of accomplished Teachers’ electronic Individual Performance Commitment and Review Forms (e-IPCRFs) for School Year 2025–2026 is September 30, 2026.
With only a short time remaining before the deadline, teachers who have not yet completed or uploaded their e-IPCRFs are encouraged to attend to the requirement as soon as possible and avoid waiting until the final hours.
The reminder is issued in reference to DepEd Memorandum DM-OSEC-OUHRODI-2026-0001, which provides guidance on the implementation of the Performance Management and Evaluation System (PMES) for teachers for SY 2025–2026.
e-IPCRF Submission Deadline for Teachers
The current submission deadline stated in the advisory is September 30, 2026, Wednesday.
Teachers should therefore make sure that their accomplished e-IPCRFs are properly prepared and submitted through the prescribed online system before the deadline.
The advisory noted that, as of September 18, 2026, the submission rate in the e-IPCRF system was 68.6%. This figure reflects the status at that specific date and should not be interpreted as the submission rate as of September 28.
The remaining days before the deadline are important for teachers who still need to complete the process.
What Is the e-IPCRF?
The electronic Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form, commonly called the e-IPCRF, is part of the electronic performance management process for teachers.
For SY 2025–2026, DepEd's national guidance provides directions for the implementation of the Performance Management and Evaluation System for teachers. The March 3, 2026 memorandum explains that the guidance is part of the transition toward the full implementation of the multi-year PMES framework for teachers.
The e-IPCRF is intended to standardize the recording and submission of teachers’ performance information through an electronic process.
Why Teachers Should Complete the e-IPCRF Before the Deadline
Meeting the deadline is important because the e-IPCRF forms part of the teacher performance evaluation process.
Waiting until the last day can also create unnecessary difficulties if a teacher encounters problems with the system, school email account, file preparation, internet connection, or other technical concerns.
Completing the requirement early gives teachers and school personnel more time to address possible issues before the submission period closes.
Teachers who have already completed their e-IPCRFs should also make sure that the required submission process has actually been completed rather than assuming that preparing the file automatically means that it has been successfully uploaded.
Use the Official e-IPCRF System
Teachers and schools should use the official DepEd e-IPCRF system for the submission process.
The advisory identifies the online e-IPCRF system as:
The system is intended for the electronic submission process prescribed by DepEd.
Teachers should be careful when dealing with links or messages concerning their performance documents. When accessing the system, it is advisable to verify that the website address is the official DepEd e-IPCRF site and to follow instructions issued by the teacher’s school, Schools Division Office, or other authorized DepEd office.
Use the Official School DepEd Email Account
The e-IPCRF process is connected to official DepEd school email accounts.
The national PMES guidance states that the finalized e-IPCRF tool is uploaded to the Online e-IPCRF System using the official school email account registered in the system. It also explains that access is limited to official school email accounts to support continuity when personnel are promoted, transferred, or reassigned.
Because of this, teachers who encounter problems related to school email registration or access should coordinate with the appropriate school or Division Information Technology Officer rather than attempting to use an unofficial account.
What Teachers Should Check Before Submission
Before the September 30 deadline, teachers may want to verify the following:
- The e-IPCRF has been properly accomplished.
- The required ratings and information have been checked.
- The finalized file is ready for submission.
- The correct official DepEd school email account is being used.
- The file has been uploaded through the prescribed e-IPCRF system.
- The submission process has been completed successfully.
- Any confirmation or relevant record of submission is retained when applicable.
- Technical problems are reported immediately instead of waiting until the deadline.
These simple checks can help reduce last-minute problems.
What to Do if You Experience Technical Problems
Teachers or schools experiencing technical difficulties should seek assistance as soon as the problem occurs.
The advisory specifically directs personnel with technical concerns, including problems uploading e-IPCRFs and issues involving unregistered school email accounts, to contact the PMES Helpdesk.
The helpdesk email identified in the advisory is:
When requesting technical assistance, it is helpful to clearly explain the problem and provide the relevant information needed by the support team to understand the issue.
Teachers should avoid waiting until the final hours of September 30 before reporting a technical problem.
DepEd PMES Guidance for SY 2025–2026
The national guidance for the current school year is contained in DM-OSEC-OUHRODI-2026-0001, titled “Guidance in the Implementation of the Performance Management and Evaluation System (PMES) for Teachers for SY 2025–2026.”
The memorandum was issued on March 3, 2026 and covers the implementation of PMES for teachers during the transition toward the multi-year performance management system.
Among its provisions, the memorandum explains that for SY 2025–2026, only one full-period classroom observation is required for performance evaluation purposes. It also provides guidance for teachers who completed one or two full-period classroom observations during the school year.
The memorandum further provides guidance concerning the electronic IPCRF tool, its accomplishment, verification, finalization, and submission.
September 30, 2026 Deadline: A Final Reminder
With September 30 only days away, teachers who still have an outstanding e-IPCRF requirement should prioritize completing the process.
The important date to remember is:
September 30, 2026 — Wednesday
The submission reminder applies to the accomplished Teachers’ e-IPCRFs for SY 2025–2026 through the prescribed e-IPCRF system.
The 68.6% submission rate mentioned in the advisory was recorded as of September 18, 2026, meaning the actual submission rate may have changed since then.
Teachers are encouraged to check their submission status, complete any remaining requirements, and address technical concerns immediately.
