Demapan informed the parents and guardians of its students in a letter yesterday that KagES will resume full-day sessions starting March 9 at their home campus.<\/p>\n<p>Education Commissioner Dr. Alfred Ada said it is \u201cawesome\u201d that KagES can finally return to full-day sessions and to their campus after over a year since Super Typhoon Yutu devasted the campus back in October 2018. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really excited. The teachers have been excited and the students too,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Ada added that the other schools that still remain on half-day and double sessions will follow suit soon and will return to full-day sessions this month. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe other schools are near completion with some minor setbacks. Most, if not all, classrooms are fixed and ready. The [materials] needed in each classroom have arrived but, in light of the recent coronavirus outbreak, we\u2019re just waiting on that cargo to be cleared,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Ada credits the opening of the KagES campus to members of the Facility and Development Management team, who worked tirelessly to get KagES back up and running. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like pay tribute to Eric Magofna\u2019s team, Glenn Smith, [and] Rommel Mostales for their hard work in making this possible,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Demapan said classes will begin promptly at 7:30am and will end at 2:40pm. The three-strike late pick up standard operating procedure still applies for all children who do not ride the bus. <\/p>\n<p>Oleai Elementray School, San Vicente Elementary School, Francisco M. Sablan Elementary School, Koblerville Elementary School, William S. Reyes Elementary School, and Kagman High School remain on half-day sessions. <\/p>\n<p>Dandan Middle School, one of the schools that also sustained major damage and had to go into half-day session too, returned to full session schedule in the first week of December, according to a source. They were the first school to return to full-day sessions. <\/p>\n<p>The KagES campus, which served as a shelter during Super Typhoon Yutu, experienced electrical issues after a power pole that burned out near the school prevented power from running through the facility. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kagman Elementary School students are set to return to their home campus after over a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[900],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-318531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318531\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
