Here are some reminders for this week:

 

- The Monday meeting times were updated in the 20-21 PLC_Resource_Faculty Forum Schedule.  In order to meet the 21 hours PD and 1 day converted to 6 hours for a total of 27 extended hours, the all day PD days and some of your home group meetings are scheduled till 3:25 pm. We did not tack on the extended hours onto previous days when we did not meet as a faculty and gave that time up to grade levels to plan and prepare.

Happy Monday Ho’okele Students! You and your teachers have been working really hard during this distance learning time. We have seen how you are being self-directed learners and showing attentive listening while your teachers are instructing you. We have also seen you being respectful to one another when classmates and teachers are having technical difficulties. Having this type of understanding for one another shows how you truly care about each other. 

Here are some helpful reminders that may help you out during distance learning:

-Use the bathroom before it’s time to log on

-If possible, try to have a flask of water next to you in case you get thirsty during instruction, that way you won’t miss anything important.

-Please do not eat during class time.

-Sit up at your area and show attentive listening.

Keep up the excellent work, and always ask your teachers if you need help with anything. We are all here to support you. Have a good 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. Our PCNC, Kilohana Motas, and our active PTA work tirelessly to create meaningful volunteer opportunities that benefit our entire school.
