Hi Everyone,
We have been selected to have a federal audit on our school food services program this January. This is a very important audit that we must do well on.  It is very important that students wear or bring their IDs to lunch with them.  If they have lost it or damaged it, they need to purchase a replacement in the office (we need to work out details of this…) We will be sending out more reminders as we prepare for this audit.  Please let your students know the importance of their ID for meals.  Also, please have them practice saying their names loudly if asked in order to verify their names.
As a reminder,  adults on campus must have money in their accounts in order to purchase lunch. No loans/negative balances are permitted for staff.  
Just a reminder-our Dedication Ceremony is coming up quickly on November 6.  We have over 60 VIP who have RSVP’d that they are coming.  Thank you for your help and assistance and flexibility as we work out all of the details.
Here is the schedule for PLCs and resources during conferences:  Resource Schedule.  As a reminder students on that grade level will not have morning recess on their resource day.  Please review your yard duty and let us know if we are short for any blocks.
We welcome Kumu Nettie Armitage-Lapilio, our Hawaiian Studies PTT for grades 3-5 who will start this week!  We have recommended a new art teacher for hire and are awaiting her approval and verification.
Picture retakes are on Tuesday.  Janelle will be forwarding a schedule.  Please note the schedule is flexible as we do not know the number of students taking retakes.  We will have runners to come get students from your classes.
Have a great week!

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.
