Abstract

The purpose of this study is to report how one school which combines an elementary school, a junior high school and a high school provided educational activities in practical ways to keep the educational opportunities for students during a three-month time sequence. This period lasted from the day that normal school operations and systems stopped, which is why all schools were requested to close by the government under the purpose of preventing the COVID-19 infection spread, to the day when the requested leave was lifted for all schools. This report clarifies the process how a school principal made decisions under an unpredictable school crisis, as a school psychologist who participates in a management committees and staff meetings.
