CHAPTER-II – OBJECTIVES
This is the VILLACIN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL, Purok Pepsi, Brgy. Tinampa-an,
Department of Education, Schools Division Office of Cadiz City Contingency Plan
for Implementation of Face-to-Face Classes for School Year 2022-2023. This plan
was developed by the School DRRM Coordinator.
This contingency plan aims to:
1. Align with the Harmonized National Contingency Plan of the National
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and
DepEd Learning Continuity Plan for the COVID-19 pandemic and other
emerging infectious diseases.
2. Establish coordination and communication mechanisms among
schools.
3. Ensure the continuity of delivering quality education to learners
through unified and effective Education in Emergency (EiE) response
consistent with MSEE (Minimum Standard in Education Emergency) and
national standards and policies.
4. Set the response and rehabilitation or early recovery roles and
functions of the school and the affected and assisting schools for
purposes of education continuity.
5. Provide guidance for the continuing capacity building of DepEd offices
and schools.
6. Determine the preparedness, prevention and mitigation measures to
reduce the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other emerging
infectious diseases.
7. Support the identification of needed equipment and supplies to reduce
the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other emerging infectious
diseases.
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.
1. 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
Downloaded by JAYSON EVANGELISTA (jayson.evangelista@deped.gov.ph)
lOMoARcPSD|28497044
of preparation, the school head must clearly identify the role of each
teaching and non-teaching personnel and provide 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/ren, if a
need arises
c.
Coordinating with local health authorities
d.
Preparing the needed resources (e.g., alcohol, face mask, face
shield, etc.) to prevent the transmission of COVID -19
2. 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,
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 (iii) time of report
c.
Where: school name, school address, home address of individual
(if at home during the time of 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
3. Contact authorities, other school personnel and families
All concerned stakeholders must be v/ell-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 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 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.

Strategies to Transition back to Face-to-Face Learning Modality
(Adopted from RM No. 680, s. 2021)
During a school lockdown, it is important to continue engaging learners in
a meaningful activity 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 the period, support 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/guardian in need of assistance in the distance learning of
their child/ren. Teachers may utilize this platform to encourage
parents/guardians in their role as a learning facilitator 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
maintenance routine of the school, and those who will 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 the
psychosocial support and services shall be made available for all the
members of the school community. In the absence of the guidance
office, affected learners and school personnel shall be provided with
Psychological First Aid (PFA) by trained teaching and non-teaching
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 appropriate support needed by the nonteaching 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/ren 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.
