There is a total of 120 arm chairs in good condition and 69 under replaceable marking a
need for 365 more chairs to meet the 1:1 learner seat ratio. Insufficiency of the chairs is
addressed by letting the students use temporarily the monobloc chairs intended for computer
laboratory.
 Water and Electricity
In terms of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities, the source of water supply is
through local piped water. The school has available handwashing facilities. However, it remains
an issue that water supply is irregular for times. There is a total of 10 functional common toilets
for students and 1 for teachers.

sufficient since it can be downloaded online. But, the SLMs are printed and the TGs are
insufficient. For Grade 7, 8 and 10, the LM to student ratio is 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 in almost all
subjects except in Grade 9 with a ratio of 1:1 in Science, EsP, Music and Arts, Filipino and
Mathematics. Mini-libraries inside classrooms are utilized. Class advisers are in-charge in the
collection and accounting of learners’ materials.

school without breakfast or lunch, the school implements the Project ICAREU that caters wasted
and severely wasted students with free meals for breakfast and lunch. Feeding is sustained
through the support of internal and external stakeholders.

through Regional DRRMC if it approves recommendation for demobilization and
deactivation of the CPs and Normal Alert Status.
C. Non-activation
When the response plan is enough for the needs of the affected individual of all the LGU’s,
the Contingency Plan will not be activated.
V. COORDINATION, COMMAND, AND CONTROL
A. Coordination
Case Investigation: The steps taken by a trained health worker when calling a person who
tests positive for COVID-19 to ask about their symptoms, how they may have been
infected, and who they may have infected. This should be done within the range of
the school and community.
Close contact: In this step, contact tracing should be conducted with the use of record books,
to identify students as well as teachers who have been exposed to the student tested
positive from COVID19 antigen tests.
Isolation: The person tested positive for COVID-19 stays at home and away from others, even
those living in the same house. This prevents them from spreading the disease to
GINA MAGCAMIT

MIMAROPA REGION
others. The isolation period for COVID-19 is at least 10 days from start of symptoms,
or from the test date if the person has no symptoms, and until 24 hours without
fever, without using medicine that reduces fever, and until symptoms have improved.
The period could be longer if a person’s symptoms do not improve, or the person is
immunocompromised. Quarantine: when a person who is a close contact of someone
with COVID-19 stays at home and away from others for up to 14 days to avoid
spreading COVID-19 during the incubation period when they could become ill.

B. Command and Control
The initial step is to determine whether the student tested positive from COVID-19 is
within the school and then the teacher who is part of the School Disaster Risk Reduction
Management (SDRRM) will then coordinate with the Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction
Management (BDRRM) so that they will be able to know that there is a student who has been
exposed to COVID-19. After the coordination with the BDRRM, the Barangay will then
communicate with the SDRRM coordinator, to assure that there is a student that has tested
positive. After further communication, the SDRRM coordinator then communicates with the
Division DRRM. Both the Division DRRM and the BDRMM will then coordinate with NDRRMO,
for referral to the Department of Health as last part of the assessment.

VI. Response and Early Recovery Measures of the School
RESPONSE ACTIONS FOR PRIORITY HAZARD
A. INITIAL RESPONSE (BEFORE)

General Guidelines for Initial Response:
In the event that an individual in the school shows symptoms, becomes a close contact of a
confirmed case, or tests positive for COVID-19, it is critical to have a timely initial response to
ensure little to no spread of the virus among other members of the school community. There are
3C’s that stakeholders must remember in responding to any school situation related to COVID-
19.
 Coordinate Tasks
Other members of the school community may feel worried and become uneasy if any situation
related to COVID-19 arises in the school. As a means of preparation, the school head must
clearly identify the role of each teaching and non-teaching personnel, and provide the necessary
training for their actions to be well coordinated. The following are the tasks for Response that
must be delegated by the school head:
a. Maintaining safety and health protocols, and order in the classrooms
b. Engaging the parent/guardian on the home-school arrangement, including the designated
time of pick-up of their child/children, if a need arises
c. Coordinating with local health authorities
d. Preparing the heeded resources (e.g. alcohol, face mask, face shield, etc.) to prevent the
transmission of COVlD-19 ‘
 Collect Information
To assist health authorities and the local government unit in contact tracing, the immediate
responding health personnel or designated clinic teacher must collect the following information
of the individual who shows symptoms or is reported to be: a close contact of a confirmed case:
a. Who: name of individual gender, age, grade level or occupation, the section included in or
handling
b. When: date, if in school (i) time of entry to school, (ii) time of isolation in the clinic if at home
(i) time of report
c. Where: school name, school address, the home address of the individual (if at home during the
time of the report)
d. What: symptoms experienced by the individual (if any)
e. How: details on where or how the individual was infected, or who is the confirmed case to
whom the individual became a close Contact
GINA MAGCAMIT

MIMAROPA REGION
 Contact authorities, other school personnel and families
All concerned stakeholders must be well informed to avoid the possible transmission of the virus,
and to guide the school community in the necessary actions in case there will be a need to
transition to a distance learning modality.
a. Contact the identified health authority (e.g. barangay health station, rural health unit) to
cooperate regarding the appropriate measures such as tracing and quarantine, or referral to a
hospital if needed.
b. Contact other school personnel (from the different set of classes per week) in case there will be
a need to shift to a distance learning modality. A teacher must also be informed and guided if
he/she shall be a substitute teacher in case a fellow teacher becomes unable to physically report
to school for a long period due to being infected with COVID-19 or other acceptable reasons.
c. Contact the family of the individual who showed symptoms or identified to be a close contact
of a confirmed case of COVID-19. The family must also be informed regarding the actions that
will be undertaken by the school, as well as the protocols that must be observed at home as
advised by health authorities.
d. Contact the families of individuals from the same class as the person who showed symptoms
of
COVID-19 and inform them of the protocols that must be observed, as well as the possible shift
to
distance learning modality.
e. Contact families from other classes from the set of classes in the same week as the person
who
showed symptoms of COVID-19, as well as those from the set of classes in the other week to
inform
them of the current school situation.
B.DURING (If outbreak occur)
Please refer to part III (SPECIFIC SCENARIOS)
C. AFTER
STRATEGIES TO TRANSITION BACK TO FACE-TO-FACE LEARNING MODALITY
During a school lockdown, it is important to continue engaging learners in meaningful activities

to ensure the continuity of learning. However, some learners or school personnel may need
additional support in transitioning back to distance learning and managing their emotions after
learning about the situation in the school or in the community. During this period, the support
GINA MAGCAMIT

MIMAROPA REGION
from the family and other school personnel shall play a critical role in adapting to the change in
environment and coping with the resurgence of COVID-19 cases.
1. The school local hotline/help desk shall remain open for parents/guardians in need of
assistance in the distance learning of their child/ children. Teachers may utilize this platform to
encourage parents/guardians in their role as learning facilitators at home and to provide
additional support to learners in their independent study.
2. The school shall establish a cleaning and maintenance routine to ensure that all school
facilities are organized and functional until the resumption of face-to-face classes.
3. The school may perform critical administrative tasks on-site provided that they are given
permission by the LGU.
4. The school shall provide the required personal protective equipment to non-teaching
personnel who shall weekly conduct the cleaning and maintenance routine of the school, and
those who will need to perform administrative duties whenever necessary. The school shall
ensure that they will be properly compensated for physically reporting to school during the
school lockdown.
5. The guidance office shall remain operational to ensure that psychosocial support and services
shall be made available for all the members of the school community. In the absence of a
guidance office, affected learners and school personnel shall be provided with Psychological First
Aid (PFA) by trained teaching and nonteaching personnel in schools. They shall also be assisted
for referral to the counselling services provided by the Schools Division Office, if further
interventions are needed.
6. The school shall provide the appropriate support needed by the non-teaching personnel while
they are unable to physically report to school on a daily basis.
7 .After the school lockdown, the school shall seek the consent of parents/guardians through a
written form for the participation of their child/children in the resumption of face-to-face
classes.
8. For the first five school days, the first hour shall be devoted to discussion/facilitation of
modules
related to mental: health, facilitated by their respective classroom advisers or designated
teachers.
VII. SCHOOL PREPAREDNESS AND MEASURES
In the pilot implementation of the Limited Face to Face learning modality, the school had
prepared precautionary and safety measures to meet the qualified and approved learning set-up.
The school conducted inventory of safety equipment to be used by the students, teachers, and
staff. Unfortunately, the school could not provide the supplies for the entire school year. This
issue needs to be addressed.
