Information for Faculty and Staff

On behalf of your administrators...

We hope you all have been enjoying your summer.  We look forward to seeing you back this week!

We have much to accomplish in preparation for the upcoming school year.  There will be a lot of information and updates headed your way, so get ready for an amazing week!

We are excited to welcome Mr. Daryl Agena back to our administrative team this school year!

Welcome to our new teachers who will be joining us this school year:  Susan Pacada (PreK), Christine Robertson (Grade K), Kascy Nakama (Grade 1), Jessica Patterson and Megan Togami (Grade 3), Sarah Kim and Marianna deMagalhaes-Castro (Grade 5), Phyllis Claire Abrigo (SPED Grades 1-2), and Crystal Barrett (SPED Grade 3).

We also added 2 new EAs to our staff:  Keilah Imai and Michelei Reyes. Our SPED department is also welcoming a new classroom of medically fragile students to our campus.  Along with these awesome students will be new PPTs and nursing staff.

We are not completely full, as we are looking for more individuals for Grade K and 1 teaching positions, EA positions and casual hire positions.

Mahalo to Lyle and the cafeteria staff for preparing our Welcome Back Breakfast on Friday! BIG Mahalo to Mike and the custodial staff for getting the campus cleaned and prepped for the school year!  And last but not least-Thank you to Dollinda and the office staff for all you do over the summer! We appreciate all that is done to get us ready for the school year!

Have a great week and let us know what information and resources you may need to get started!
