services shall be made available for all the members of the school community. In the

personnel in schools. They shall also be assisted for referral to the counseling
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/ren in the resumption of
face-to-face classes.
8. For the first five school days, the first hour shall be devoted to the
