Information for Faculty and Staff
We’ve made it to the end of Quarter 3!  Congratulations on all of your hard work and focus.

The Jungle Book Kids performances wrapped up this weekend.  What a great success for all involved! Under the leadership of Ms. Brown, the annual musical truly makes Ho’okele special. Thank you to all of the faculty and staff for your contributions to the performances and production-it is such a huge team effort from the make-up, to the set, to the lighting and sound, costuming, potlucks, choreography, snack stands...  The list is endless! Forgive me for not trying to name everyone who contributed-there are so many I didn’t want to leave anyone out! A sincere THANK YOU to all of you.

I am looking for a Hawaiian Studies PTT (lower) and a music PTT (upper) to start after Spring Break. Please let me know if you have anyone in mind. In the likely event we do not fill the positions, we will be looking at ways to provide meaningful activities and coverage on your resource days.  Please bear with us as we sort out the changes.

Please email Mrs. Pamatigan any safety concerns that you may have for the Safety Committee to address this week.

Enjoy this last week before Spring Break and have a truly relaxing and refreshing break!  4th Quarter moves fast-Be ready!!

This Week
No PLCs this week!  Extended times for lower grade resource classes. No subs will be provided for missing PTTs, please plan on having your students during those blocks. I will communicate those out as soon as I am made aware.  Thanks to those offering to help out with coverage for our lower grade assessments.

Information for Students
Thank you for being a great audience at our Jungle Book Kids performance!  What a great experience for all of us to enjoy.

Congratulations to the cast and crew-you have made us very proud!  The comments from the audience was so positive-you WOW’d them!

We expect the same attentive listening and respectful behavior at our CARES assemblies this week!  Congratulations to those who exemplify our Ho‘okele vision and mission of success! We look forward to the performances from grades 1 and 4.

Please also show your attentive listening if your class will be joining the Internet Safety Assemblies this week.  This will provide you with a lot of information about how to protect yourself when on-line.

Friday marks the end of Quarter 3!  We hope you have a wonderful Spring Vacation and we look forward to seeing you after the break!  We will be very focused on student behavior for the last quarter of school. Be prepared to do your part to show positive behavior at all times as a student of Ho‘okele!  
Have a Happy Spring Break!

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.
