Abstract
As the COVID-19 cases among children spike up, one of the preventions is by implementing online school. However, there were schools in Central Java that already hold schools offline. This research aimed to describe the offline school implementation before the peak of the second wave during COVID-19 pandemic in Central Java. Population was parents and student guardians in Central Java. Sample criteria were having a child <18 y.o. who was going to school in Central Java, and not home-schooled. Questionnaire was shared with the Education Office's parents' networks for 2 weeks. 255 respondents agreed to offline school for their children. Offline schools were implemented in kindergarten until senior high school (highest-88.63%). The average of the offline school was 3 days/week and 3 hours/day. Schools require students to wear masks (99.2%), bring their cutlery, hand sanitizer, and worship equipment. Most were using private vehicles (88.63%) to school and back home (86.67%). The offline school before the second peak of COVID-19 was an option for parents. If parents choose offline school for their children, they should pay more attention to every aspect to optimize the prevention for their children. Parents' carelessness can be a contributor to the peak of the second wave in Central Java.
