GDOE EMPLOYEES TO TELEWORK; 

GDOE HARD COPY PACKET DISTRIBUTION TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED

Earlier today Governor Lourdes Leon Guerrero announced that effective noon Friday, August 21, through an executive order, all businesses will close except grocery stores, healthcare operations, pharmacies, gas stations, convenience stores, hardware stores, and those operations critical to health, shelter, and the preservation of life. 

While this executive order is in place, all Guam Department of Education (GDOE) hard copy packet distributions for schools will be temporarily suspended. Parents will continue to be able to reach schools via email, and teachers will be reaching out to families to continue lessons remotely. Parents are asked to stand by for further communication from schools.

GDOE employees will telework effective immediately and should not physically report to work beginning Friday, August 21, 2020 through the end date of the executive order. The GDOE is moving to telework to ensure the safety of all employees as a result of the sharp increase in positive cases in the community. During this time, all payroll checks will be mailed. Employees should contact their immediate supervisors for further guidance.
