Welcome Back to School!
We are so happy to see all of you back at Ho’okele! And we are very happy to have so many new faces at our school. We saw soooo many of you last week at Meet and Greet with your families! Welcome and Aloha to ALL of you!
We look forward to greeting you at our Welcome Back Assembly NEXT Monday, August 14! It will be a Good Time!
We have many new teachers and a new Vice Principal this school year. Mr. Agena will be the VP for grades K-2 and Mrs. Pamatigan will be the VP for grades 3-5. We both look forward to working with you this school year!
We know you will have a LOT of new information to learn today from your teachers and a lot of rules and routines to remember! Some will be the same and some will be new. When you are at recess-remember SAFETY FIRST above all! Follow your tribes agreements: Mutual Respect, Attentive Listening, Appreciations (No put downs) and Everyone has the right to participate! Wait for a supervisor to be on duty before playing. Walk on the sidewalks and freeze when the bell rings!
Be like sponges this week and ABSORB all of the knowledge you need for a
successful start to the school year!
JPO-Squad 1 is on duty this week!
Have a great first week of school! Ho’okele CARES!
Mrs. Dunn, Mr. Agena and Mrs. Pamatigan
