CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR COVID-19 PANDEMIC

INTRODUCTION

The COVID-19 epidemic sweeping the globe has affected millions of students, whose
school closures have more often than not caught them, their teachers, and families by
surprise. For some, it means missing class altogether, while others are trialing online
learning—often facing difficulties with online connections, as well as motivational and
psychosocial well-being challenges. These problems point to a critical gap in school-
based contingency planning within broader education sector preparedness planning and
emergency management.

Contingency planning is a management tool to analyze the impact of potential crises

and ensure appropriate arrangements are made to respond in a timely and effective

way. The tool enables individuals, teams, and organizations to establish working

relationships that can make a critical difference during a crisis. As such, education

sector and school-based contingency planning for COVID-19 are essential to ensure

that schools can manage future uncertainty by developing responses based on different

outbreak scenarios, including variations in severity of illness, mode of transmission, and

rates of infection in the community. The Department of Health and Human

Services preparedness guidance for school-based pandemic flu notes that school-

based outbreaks often give rise to community-wide outbreaks; thus, planning and

practicing for such epidemics are an act of safeguarding not only the health of students
and staff, but also of the wider community .

Cresdaville Elementary School is located at New York Street, Cresdaville

III,Subdivision, Brgy. San Juan, Bangiad, Taytay, Rizal. With a lot area of 762 sq.m. The

school started its school year in the year 2006 with (2) school buildings and 5

classrooms of 344 pupils enrolled and they were transferees from the nearby school.

They were mobilized and organized to comprise the school population from grade I to

grade VI. Six teachers were pulled out from different school in the district. Cresdaville

Elementary school offers a Complete Elementary Grade.

 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

Schools are prepared as well as they can be for a pandemic. The plan fits within
each schools crisis management plan. Staff, students, and parents are well
informed
and understand their roles in preventing general influenza or virus spread.
The purpose of having done this contingency plan is to make it known to all school
teaching and non-teaching personnel, we must be careful enough and keep watch of
the quarantine given to each month, which really varies depending on how high was
the people’s case of Covid19, so to further reduce it, we went under different quarantine
types. Whether there is Covid 19 or not what we all should do is to look first to our own
safety. Different ways were disclosing for our protection. We just have to follow or have
strict compliance of not going out, if it’s not necessary, wear face shield and face mask,

wash our hands most often, keep the prescribed distance at all times.

the risk situation of the covid-19 pandemic in the province upon the duration of
COVID 19 pandemic. Afterwards the RD directs the SDS’s and School Heads who shall

down the school level across the region

B. Deactivation- In case that the covid19 pandemic will have a vaccine and treatment

school heads and the recommendation of IATF or other authorized agencies and
government officials. The RD 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
