New Set of Tasks for Public School Teachers starting June 1, 2020

Based on the DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2020 which was released on May 28, 2020, it is stipulated there that teachers will play an important role in the conduct of the enrollment which will begin on June 1.

However, due to the latest memorandum on the work arrangement of teaching personnel which states that "in view of the enrollment period commencing on June 1, 2020,  all are reminded that the first two weeks of enrollment shall completely be remote enrollment, where there will be absolutely no face-to-face, per Item V of the Guidelines on Enrollment for School Year 2020-2021 in the context of the Public Health Emergency due to COVID-19 under DepEd Order No. 008, s. 2020", here are the new sets of tasks for public school teachers starting June 1, 2020:

> Class advisers shall be assigned to facilitate the remote enrollment of learners in their advisory class from the previous school year (i.e. SY 2019-2020). This assumes that schools have conducted Early Registration in accordance with the provisions of Section V-A of DepEd Order No. 03, s. 2018, where data gathered (e.g., learners’ contact information) can be utilized.

> Teachers without advisory classes shall be appointed as Enrollment Focal Persons (EFPs). Schools must ensure that each grade level has an appointed EFP to accommodate kindergarten, transferees and Balik-Aral enrollees. ALS teachers shall act as EFPs in order to accommodate ALS enrollees.

EFPs’ contact information shall be publicly posted to be easily accessed by prospective enrollees.

Digital format shall also be made accessible/downloadable from the websites of the Central Office (CO), Regional Offices (ROs), School Division Offices (SDOs), and Schools. It shall also be made available in the Learner Information System (LIS) homepage.

> Class advisers shall contact each learner in their advisory class from SY 2019-2020 using the contact information found in the SF1 and data obtained from early registration.

Contact shall as much as possible be done remotely, with priority given to phone calls, short message service (SMS) and social media (e.g., Facebook Messenger), whichever is mutually convenient for both parties.

Schools shall provide specific instructions on how parents/guardians of prospective enrollees may contact appointed EFPs.

Once contacted by the parents/guardians of prospective enrollees, appointed EFPs shall collect the necessary data stipulated in these guidelines.

EFPs shall accommodate inquiries and facilitate data collection as remotely as possible, whether via phone call, short message service (SMS) and social media (e.g., Facebook Messenger), whichever is mutually convenient to both parties.

> Teachers may encode their LESF data upon collection in the provided template while waiting for their respective LIS encoding schedules. The digital format of the enrollment form and the encoding template can be accessed through the LIS.

> For teachers without laptops and internet connectivity, any physical reporting to schools to encode LESF data shall strictly adhere to the minimum health and safety standards. If conditions will not allow for physical reporting in school, filled-out hard copies of the LESF will be compiled until the LIS opens for encoding.

> Teachers with existing medical conditions shall be provided with assistance during data collection.
