GDOE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES FOR STUDENTS IS AUGUST 17; ONLY SHARE VERIFIED INFORMATION
The first day of classes for Guam Department of Education (GDOE) students is Monday, August 17, 2020.
On Friday, Governor Lou Leon Guerrero announced additional restrictions due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases on island. Following this announcement, the GDOE became aware of social media and WhatsApp messages indicating that face-to-face classes would be canceled for students – this information does not apply to GDOE schools.
At this point, students are expected to begin classes on August 17 for all three models of instruction, to include (1) Home Learning Online Instruction ; (2) Home Learning Hard Copy Curriculum; and (3) Traditional Face-to-Face.
The department continues to work closely with the Department of Public Health and Social Services and the Office of the Governor to monitor the health situation on Guam. Any future announcements regarding the beginning of the school year will be made through the GDOE Public Information Office or the Joint Information Center.
Students and families are encouraged to share only verified information. Parents may also contact their child’s school directly or visit www.gdoe.net for the latest back to school information
