Visitors on Campus
We would like to remind all our AsTumbo Elementary Schools parents and/or guardians, we are requiring that all visitors sign in at the Main Office please see Student-Parent Handbook. A Visitors Pass is needed, even if you are to escort your child(ren) to the cafeteria and/or classroom. An identification card (ID) is necessary to obtain a visitors pass. Your ID will be held until you return the visitors pass. The Guam Police Department will be called upon to assist when any visitor(s) refuses to adhere to these procedures. This procedure is necessary to account for every person on campus and to ensure the safety for all our students, faculty and staff members. Note: Classroom visits are by appointments only with the classroom teacher. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the office. Thank you for your understanding.

We are happy to announce that AsTumbo Elementary School will be participating with the Box Tops for Education Program. This program helps to purchase supplies needed in the classroom. These box tops are found in products like Cheerios, Hamburger Helper and Kleenex - everyday items that we purchase at our local grocery store(s). Just look for the logo on the packages. Each box top is worth 10 for our school. We are therefore seeking the help of our students, parents/guardians and communities to support our school by forwarding these box tops to the school via homeroom teacher. Simply clip the box tops of the item(s) purchased ensure that the logo cited above is visible, and forward it to the school. Thank you for your help.
