Traditional Model of Learning (Face-to-Face Instruction) Marcial Sablan Elementary School welcomed students back on campus on January 20 and 21, 2021 for the first time since the campus closed down on March 16, 2020. We were able to implement the safety precautions that the school planned and the transition went smoothly. We are placing students on a waiting list if more parents are interested in sending their children back to the campus. An updated form for Face-to-Face instruction must be filled out. Please contact the school for more information.
