Frequently Ask Questions for DM 14, 2021 Adjusted School Forms
DepEd Memorandum 14, s. 2021 - Interim Guidelines on the Preparation, Submission, and Checking of School Forms for the School Year 2020-2021
1. Will the same guidelines be applied for the next school year?
- No. DepEd Memorandum 14, s. 2021 shall only be applicable for SY 2020-2021, unless otherwise the suspension of face-to-face classes is extended.
2. What if I already filled out the portions of core values and character traits in SF 9, do I still need to revise or redo it?
- No, leave the filled-out core values and character traits as is.
3. Do I need to backtrack my record of attendance of learners and revise my SF 2 for the first and second quarters?
- No. The SF2 that are already prepared by teachers for the first two quarters SHOULD be adopted without any further modification. The adoption of LACT is only applicable and should only be used for the third and fourth quarters of SY 2020-2021.
- For those who did not prepare SF2 prior to the issuance of LACT guidelines, teachers may adopt the LACT guidelines in the preparation of SF2 for those reporting months.
4. How can I update SF 8 if I am not able to meet the learners to measure their BMI?
- Parents or guardians may administer the actual measuring of weight and height (Body Mass Index) and just submit a reading result to the class adviser.
5. Am I required to update SF 8?
- Generally, no. The BMI feature in LIS is temporarily relaxed and does not require users to update BMI data.
- However, for those grade levels in elementary that are beneficiary of health and nutrition support programs, the BMI data may be deemed relevant.
- Teachers are highly encouraged to collect BMI data provided that the health and safety protocols are being observed.
6. What is the age to be recorded in SF 1?
- The age to be recorded in the form is the learner’s age by October 31, 2020.
7. What is the reporting cut-off date for enrollment count?
- Reporting cut-off date for enrollment count is as of October 9, 2020.
8. Do I still need to accomplish SF 3?
- If there is an existing form (electronic/printed) being used to monitor distribution of learning materials or modules, there is no need to make another recording of the same data in SF3.
9. Who will choose the applicable LACT?
- Teachers/advisers have the freedom to choose the applicable LACT in checking the learner’s attendance. Refer to Annex 2 of the Memorandum for the list of LACTs that can be used.
10. Which LACT should I choose?
- It depends on your adopted distance learning modality. Refer to Annex 2 of the Memorandum for the list of LACTs that can be used.
11. Can I use different LACTs in my classes?
- Yes, if the chosen LACT is applicable to your classes. Refer to Annex 2 of the Memorandum to see which LACT can be applied to your classes.
12. When should a student be dropped out of class?
- Teachers are highly encouraged to exercise due consideration and reach out to learners.
- A learner can only be considered drop-out or no longer participating in learning activities (NLPA) if he/she and his/her parent voluntarily withdraw from schooling or if he/she incurs seven weeks of non-attendance in his/her online classes and/or non-submission of modules/activity sheets without any communication/contact efforts being made by the learner or parent/guardian with the teacher.
13. In LACT 1, is the student considered present if he/she is only able to enter the online learning platform and attend the class for a few minutes due to internet connectivity issues?
- Yes, if there is communication made by the learner/parent/guardian to the teacher that the learner is having internet connectivity issues.
14. In LACT 2, should a learner still be considered present even in the delayed or non-submission of a module?
- Yes, if there is communication made between the parent/guardian or learner and the teacher.
15. What communication efforts are considered valid as a form of attendance and/or communication?
- Contact/communication efforts may vary depending on the distance learning modality and may include but not limited to electronic/digital communication, using of designated drop/pick up kiosk/middleman for printed modules, phone calls, text messaging, handheld CB radio, letter correspondence or attending classes/meetings, and/or physical appearance of parent/guardian and adviser within the parameter of the existing local/national health safety protocols of IATF for COVID-19.
16. What if there are multiple modalities being held in a section or a class, does the teacher need to prepare separate SF2 for each modality?
- If this is the most convenient and useful to the class adviser, he/she may do so.
17. Is the internal Division and District Level Checking allowed?
- No. The annual checking of school forms shall only be done at the school level by the School Checking Committee.
18. Is the result of the checking of forms conducted by the School Checking Committee valid and final?
- Yes. It can also be used by the school to complete its submission in LIS.
