Fernandez updates Rotarians on GDOE developments B

Fernandez updates Rotarians on GDOE developments
By Julianne Hernandez

Guam Department of Education Superintendent Jon Fernandez spoke at the Rotary Club of Tumon Bay meeting held recently at the Lotte Hotel Guam.

Fernandez gave various GDOE updates — from the available technological equipment to students and federal funds set aside for school needs ... to plans for the upcoming school year.

A member of the Rotary asked a question regarding students’ emotional and social development being stunted as most haven’t set foot on their school campuses for over a year due to the pandemic.

Fernandez responded, saying that in order for GDOE to better assess that issue, they must first address the matter of face-to-face instruction.

“The strategy is to first get the kids back because I can’t really do much when they’re stuck at home, not engaged, and they’re going through all these issues that you can’t really successfully intervene in. So when it comes to learning loss and learning recovery, our focus is to get the students back in the classrooms so we can assess how they’re doing and we can start working on uncovering the skills and issues they need to address,” Fernandez said.

He added: “When we get the students back, the first step is to not throw them back into the homework that they need to complete the next day. It really is going to take time and effort for the kids to re-adjust back into a routine, back into the interactions with other kids.”

Fernandez also responded to another Rotary member’s question regarding GDOE’s support for teachers and the impact the school year had on them and the upcoming school year.

He said: “We need our teachers back. If we do online, then we’re going to start doing online with more parameters around it, on what content area, what age group would really succeed and get out of the mode of doing it as a crisis response.”

Fernandez added that GDOE intends for online learning to still be a part of the curriculum. But he stressed that online learning has to be done separately from the crisis response to help students who can truly benefit from it.

Simon Sanchez High School holds ‘Grad & Go’ gr

Simon Sanchez High School holds ‘Grad & Go’ graduation ceremony
By Julianne Hernandez

With COVID restrictions still in place, all Guam Department of Education schools have been holding motorcade ceremonies for their graduating seniors.

However, that didn’t stop the Simon Sanchez High School graduating class of 2021 from coming up with a creative way to celebrate their graduation while still complying with CDC guidelines.

Like many of GDOE’s public schools, this is the high school’s second year of a “Grad & Go” graduation ceremony.

Simon Sanchez High School Principal Carla Dulay Masnayon tells PNC that their graduation ceremony was coordinated by their senior class, along with school staff, and they came up with a hybrid graduation ceremony

“Since the majority of the kids were not able to come on campus and they were doing online learning, the senior class had to organize and coordinate a lot of this via online with the students, via e-mail, and it was really the advisors that were coming on campus to make sure everything fell into place,” Masnayon said.

She added: “It was their idea to actually come down and walk the main hallway one last time because they didn’t get to do it this year.”

Masnayon says the school also added another service to students at the graduation ceremony.

“A lot of our students weren’t able to take their professional photographs in the venue so at least the senior class was able to secure some money so that they can do some photography at the school site. This was a free service for our graduates so when the photos are available, they’ll be able to pick them up,” Masnayon said.

Like many of GDOE’s schools, this is the high school’s second year of a “Grad & Go” graduation ceremony.

Simon Sanchez had a total of 218 graduates at the ceremony and anticipates having 40 more graduates at their Rainbow graduation ceremony

Michael Castro’s mom comes to grips with her son

Michael Castro’s mom comes to grips with her son’s murder

Melanie Castro Guerrero, the mother of Michael Jose Castro, is now coming to grips with the reality that her son is never coming back.

Melanie had never given up hope and continued to search for her son since he disappeared eight months ago.

Today, Melanie learned the hard truth that her son is dead, the victim of murder, as confirmed by a joint news conference held by the Attorney General’s Office and the Guam Police Department.

Melanie is hurt. But at the same time, she has now accepted the reality of her son’s death.

In an announcement on her social media page after learning of her son’s death, Melanie posted:

“Today I know every mother on our island can feel a sense of my pain, the reality that my son Michael Jose Castro was murdered and he isn’t coming back home alive. I had to cope every day the last 8 months not knowing for sure information surrounding Michael’s disappearance and its accuracy. Today I know. Today our island knows my son Michael is deceased.”

Melanie said she can be filled with anger and emotions of hatred and no mercy, but then she’d be just like the people who had no mercy for Michael the night he was taken.

“I thank you – ALL the people who brought my son Michael’s case to where it is now. I love you all and I pray for each and every one of you who continue to stand for the JUSTICE that our island expects and entrust in your hands.”

She added: “I hope that as Michael’s case moves forward, I ask and reach out to those who may know where Michael’s remains are, please I plead with you, I beg you to give me and my family the peace we need to give Michael a respectable resting place. PLEASE choose to make the right choices NOW is the time to do so. God Bless us all…”
