PSS classes half-day today except double session schools
The Public School System announced yesterday that classes today, Oct. 11, will just be half-day sessions, calling it Professional Development Half-Day Friday.
In a Facebook post yesterday, PSS recommended that parents refer to their respective schools’ dismissal times for Half-Day Fridays.
Schools that are on double session schedules are exempt from Half-Day Fridays. Double session schools will follow their regular daily schedules/times.
The double session schools are William S. Reyes, Oleai, San Vicente, Koblerville, and Kagman elementary schools, as well as Chacha Ocean View and Francisco M. Sablan middle schools.
PSS resumed classes yesterday after schools completed post-Super Typhoon Hagibis preparations.
Acting Education commissioner Charley Kenty reported last Wednesday that no school sustained any appreciable damage from Hagibis and are ready to resume classes. Eight schools were used as emergency shelters for the super typhoon.
Early dismissal at Hopwood
Hopwood Middle School was forced to end classes early yesterday due to a power outage.
