Dear Parents, I hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. I wanted to provide you with an update regarding our school hours for the upcoming academic year at Guam School. As the principal of Guam School, I understand the importance of establishing clear communication channels with our parents. In light of this, I wanted to inform you about the changes we have made to our school hours, which have been carefully planned to enhance the educational experience of our students. Effective from September 1, 2021, our school hours will be as follows: 1. Regular School Hours: — Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 2:30 P— - Lunch Break: 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM 2. After-School Program: We are excited to announce the introduction of our after-school program, which will provide additional academic support and co-curricular activities for students who wish to participate. The after-school program will be available from Monday to Thursday, extending the school day until 4:30 PM. 3. Early Dismissal Days: On specific occasions, such as parent-teacher conferences or professional development days for our faculty, we may have early dismissal days. During these instances, students will be dismissed at 12:30 PM to accommodate these important events. Prior notification will be sent to parents ahead of time to ensure smooth coordination. Our revised school hours aim to strike a balance between providing quality instruction time and allowing students to engage in extracurricular activities and personal commitments. We believe these changes will foster a more well-rounded education and create opportunities for students to explore their interests beyond the traditional school day. Additionally, I would like to highlight the importance of punctuality and regular attendance for the benefit of your child's education. Attending school on time helps students settle into their daily routines and makes the learning environment more conducive for everyone. If you have any concerns or questions regarding the revised school hours or any other school-related matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to our school office. We value your support and involvement in your child's education, and we are committed to working together to ensure their success. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, [Principal's Name] Principal, Guam School
