This document contains a school readiness assessment tool to evaluate a school's preparedness for implementing limited face-to-face classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes indicators on capacity building, communication strategy, ensuring participation of marginalized groups, and home-school coordination. Schools must conduct staff simulations, orientation sessions for stakeholders, and ensure access to services. They must also develop parent orientation on health and safety protocols for drop-off, pick-up, commuting, and entering school premises. Schools that do not meet all indicators will receive technical assistance to help prepare for limited in-person learning.
