 SCHOOL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
1. The school has set-up clear and easy-to-understand signages, preferably in local languages

to strengthen observance of health protocols and protective measures.

a. Display school map at the entrance point indicating the location of the classrooms.

b. Designation of separate entrance and exit points in the school.

c. Designated entrance and exit points in the classrooms.

d. Hallway ground markings for walking direction guide

e. Designation of areas for queue (e.g., restroom, library, principal’s office, etc.)

NARRATIVE
The Assistant Principal Jonathan B. Tabia called for SSAT Composite Team meeting last February 22,

2022 for the compliance of SSAT Checklist and a follow-up meeting this March 1, 2022. We

conducted onsite inspection and pre-planning as to the following:

1. We have decided to put two locator maps to assist students in the school traffic flow to

strengthen the observance of health protocols. One locator map will be placed at the

entrance of the 4th Gate (Figure 1.a) where both students and stakeholders most of the time

merge. The second locator map will be placed along the road towards the 4 th Gate (Figure

1.b) or the gate designated for the Senior High. This locator map will indicate the actual

location of map and the general perspective of the site. This map will give visual directions as

to where the Senior High would be situated in the site map giving options where to proceed.

The map will indicate what building will be used and where it is located in the actual site.

This map will provide a general indicator for entering and exiting the designated building in

the site.
2. During the onsite visit at the new Senior High Building, the team set the classroom traffic for

the pilot class. The building has four passageways as part of the building structure. The team

decided to use only two (2) of those passageway and seal off the other two (Figure 2.a). The

purpose of such decision is to regulate the going in and out and the passing in and out as

part of the classroom traffic. We used the “KEEP RIGHT” rule in regulating the traffic in the

vicinity (Figure 2.b). Aside from the keep right rule, we will be adding floor markings for

distances in lines and arrow heads for traffic directions (Figure 2.c). The team proposed to

follow standard rules for placing floor directions using colored stickers.

3. Together with the Assistant Principal Jonathan B. Tabia, the composite team selected from

among the available rooms at the Senior High Building and designated Room 1 as “Isolation

Room;” Room 2 for “Clinic;” Room 3 for “Production Room;” and, Room 4 for “Class Room.”

The building has two (2) built-in Comport Rooms situated at the ground floor. The team

designated one Comfort room as “Wash Room” and the other as the actual “Comfort Room

(Figure 3.a).” This is plausible since all of the 23 students of the Arts and Design Pilot class

are all women. The room itself will be a 3 by 4 sitting as pilot standard for taken by the

Senior High (Figure 3.b). The sitting distance from the front wall will be 2 meters and the

next set of four (4) rows will be distances by 1.5 meters. The three (3) columns of chairs

from the entrance will be spaced by 2 meters and 1.5 meters from the wall. Thus the 7 by 8

meters room is at par with protocol requirements.
