ALOHA!
It’s a HAPPY week ahead!
Please review the slides for SAFETY WEEK and prepare your students for these drills starting on Monday. There are specific instructions for lockdown responsibilities that have been updated-please check to see if you are responsible for locking outside building doors.
As a reminder, we are NOT evacuating campus on Wednesday, we will do a full school fire drill and then have you review what an evacuation would look like using the map on page 14 of the slides in your classrooms.
Copies of this incredible easy reference sheet designed by Jill will be placed in your boxes. Please post in your classrooms next to your evacuation maps.

Updates for Students
Aloha Students!
Every year, all schools are required to conduct mandatory safety drills for fire, earthquake, lockdown, shelter in place and campus evacuations. These drills help us to prepare our students and staff to respond appropriately in emergency situations. All students will be participating in these drills with COVID mitigating measures in place.
At Ho‘okele Elementary, we conduct monthly fire drills.
To complete the remaining required drills, we will be implementing the following:
Monday, 11/8/2021: Lockdown and Shelter in Place drills
Tuesday, 11/9/2021: Earthquake Drill
Wednesday, 11/10/2021: Monthly Fire drill and our annual Campus Evacuation TRAINING
Your teachers will be reviewing procedures and purpose with you. You do not need to do anything else to prepare for drills, however, we ask that you understand the importance of practicing these drills in the event of actual emergencies.
Our campus evacuation drill on Wednesday 11/10 will be ONLY conducted via training in the classroom and students will NOT be evacuating campus for this drill. You will learn the route which would be taken to our evacuation site at Mehana Neighborhood Park in the event of an actual emergency.
Thank you for helping us to keep safety as a top priority for our school. SAFETY FIRST and ALWAYS!
