All plans should be sent via email to dphss-deh@dphss.guam.gov. Schools that anticipate holding graduation ceremonies sooner than 14 days from today are to contact the DPHSS Division of Environmental Health immediately. Failure to comply will place schools and IHEs in non­compliance with DPHSS guidance that may result in penalties and/or fines.

  • the total number of persons shall be limited to no more than the outdoor area can maintain with the required physical distance if held outdoors

  • Attendees must be limited to school faculty and staff, graduates, and no more than four guests per graduate provided the graduation site can accommodate the decreased occupancy load and physical distancing.

  • All attendees must wear face masks at all times

  • Have a plan in place for staggered entrances and exits and other common places where people congregate in order to reduce the occurrence of bottlenecks.
