Hi Everyone,
We are grateful to Campbell Estates for the donation to our school of $25,000 that will go into our local school account.  The Estate gave $250,000 to schools in Kapolei complex and other schools at the Mele and Hula this past weekend.

 Our Gotcha program will begin this week.  Homeroom teachers will have an envelope for ticket collection and a starter packet of tickets with instructions.  Non homeroom teachers and staff will receive instructions and tickets.  I look forward to starting this program to help remind us to recognize our students’ positive behaviors.


For our morning procedures, lower grade teachers with Piko door entrances may allow students in through the Piko doors at 7:45 am.  Students with classrooms with interior doors will be escorted inside the building at 7:45 am.  For afternoon, If you have a piko door, please dismiss the students through that door after school to help decrease the congestion of all students being dismissed at the same time.
We appreciate your patience as we work on the best routines to get our students into class and to their parents safely.
We will keep an eye on Guillermo and notify you if we will be making any adjustments due to weather.

 Have a great week!
Mindy

Student Announcements (Please read to your students)
Thank you to Ms. Brown and her students for teaching us our school energizer-Connect, Engage, Inspire, Serve, Succeed!  
Recess Reminders:  Please do not hang out on the spider web. Climb up and down and allow your classmates to play as well.  We will limit this area to 6 students at a time.  Please use the sidewalks to walk from one area to another. You may run in the grassy areas and on the mounds.  Be careful to not lean against the Laulima fence as it is dirty and may leave marks on your clothes! Thank you for your patience-once our courts and other fields are open, you will have many more areas to play.
Be on your best behavior this week and earn your gotcha tickets!  
Because Ho‘okele CARES!
Have a great week,
Mrs. Dunn and Mrs. Pamatigan

This Wednesday marks Administrative Professionals Day, and we want to take a moment to sincerely recognize and thank our exceptional office staff. Their dedication and support extend far beyond the expected, touching every corner of our school. From cheerfully greeting families – both the friendly and the more challenging – to ensuring the smooth execution of every event, our office team is truly the backbone of our school. They arrive early, stay late, manage our supplies, process our paychecks and scan our lunches, and, above all, always help to ensure the well-being of our students. Thank you for all that you do! In addition to celebrating our administrative professionals, this week we also gratefully acknowledge the vital contributions of our campus volunteers.
