Information for Faculty and Staff
Teachers:  your IPDP will be due on October 3. This year our schoolwide focus is on classroom management.  You will be submitting your current classroom management plan along with the STOIC checklist.  We will be going over the template at our 9/26 faculty meeting, but wanted to share in case anyone wants to get a headstart.  You have the option of not doing the schoolwide plan, however, your IPDP must still be approved by October 3.

Also just a heads-up, Monday 9/24 will be a resource day for grades 2 and 3 due to PD day on Friday 9/28.

Looking forward to a fun spirit week!  Check emails from Janelle for updates to the picture taking schedule for Wednesday.  All staff should take a picture-locations are in cafeteria and library.

To celebrate INDIVIDUALISM, students do not have to wear their
Ho‘okele School uniform today. They may wear anything that is
appropriate for school and learning.

Remember that the school dress code still applies. Students not participating in Spirit Week must wear school uniform. We hope everyone will participate and show their SCHOOL SPIRIT and PERSONAL PRIDE.

Stranger Danger Reminders:
*Stay away from strangers.  Do not talk to or take anything from them.
*Don’t go anywhere with someone you don’t know.  Never accept a ride from a stranger.
*Stay more than an arm’s reach from strangers.  If a stranger approaches you, seek help immediately from a trusted adult.
*Use the buddy system.  Avoid walking anywhere alone.
*If a stranger grabs you, do whatever it takes to stop the stranger and yell for help.
*Report any suspicious activity to a trusted adult.
*Be alert of your surroundings and let others know where you will be and what time you will be back.
Always remember Safety First!

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.
