Narrative Report on Wash In School

In 2016, the Department of Education issued DepED Order No. 10, “Policy and Guidelines on
the Comprehensive Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene in Schools (WinS) Program” to promote correct
hygiene and sanitation practices among school children and a clean environment in and around
schools to keep learners safe and healthy, especially now that the world is in the midst of pandemic.
To promote proper hygiene, advisers of different grade level and section wrote a letter to their
parents to remind them on toothbrushing and handwashing.

Ensuring access of water for everyone in the school. Lavatory with regular hand-washing soap in
areas in the school. Constant reminders for teacher, non-teaching employees, and learners who are at
home this time of pandemic to practice hand washing and toothbrushing.
