Information for Faculty and Staff
Thanks for completing your OSYP acknowledgements and your required videos by last Thursday.  Here is the answer key for the OSYP questionnaire.
If you still need to turn in your forms, please do so ASAP.  You are required to be aware of and adhere to all policies covered once you have signed for receipt of the booklet.
Teachers:  you also need to verify that you have watched the EES training video on PDE3.  The log in information was shared at our faculty meeting on 8/9/2017.
MUST SIGN in for acknowledgement of EES Video on PDE3.  Register for course 288685  
  • Please know that NO hard copies of the EES manual will be sent.  
Also, the OSYP acknowledgement form (4 pages) was updated to add a checkbox for your receipt of the EES manual (electronic form only) and viewing of the video, which is available on the google drive shared earlier:  https://goo.gl/KMUBii
Welcome to our resource teachers who start this week!  Please help support them and help them get to know your classes and routines this first week.

Please remember that you are expected to show the same level of respect to your resource teachers as you do for your classroom teachers and any other adult on campus.  Your behavior expectations do not change just because you have a different teacher!  Let’s show our resource teachers how well you have learned the routines and expectations of Ho’okele students this school year!
Have a great week!
JPO-Squad 1 is on duty this 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.
