What a fantastic return from Winter Break! It's wonderful to see the students so eager to be back in the classroom and seamlessly transition back into their routines. We appreciate your efforts in reinforcing expectations and utilizing morning meetings and inclusive activities to foster a strong classroom community.


Remember, it's never too late to revisit and reinforce our expectations. As we roll out our PBIS posters across campus, we encourage you to use them as valuable resources for classroom discussions and to guide student behavior. With the influx of new students throughout the year, consistent reinforcement of our expectations is crucial to ensure all students feel connected and understand the expectations within our school community.



Congratulations Julia Giuricich!

Julia was selected as the Milken Educator Teacher of Promise for Campbell-Kapolei Complex Area!  

We are very proud and wish Julia the best of luck for the state award!

In addition to celebrating our administrative professionals, this week we also gratefully acknowledge the vital contributions of our campus volunteers.
