This research is qualitative and uses the case study method, conducted at a municipal school in Porteiras, Ceará. The text highlights the importance of adapting school management during the pandemic, emphasizing the need to rethink practices and develop socio-emotional skills in this process. We conclude that the urgent need for adaptation and overcoming by educational institutions, managers, teachers, students, and families was evident. Thus, it was essential for managers and education professionals to prepare themselves to face the challenges of remote teaching, constantly seeking innovative ways to ensure the quality of teaching and learning, even amidst adversities. Only through collective engagement and collaboration among all involved parties will it be possible to overcome challenges and build a more promising future for education.
