Updates for the Week of May 12, 2025

Here are some reminders for this exciting week! Grades 1 & 2, A reminder that our virtual visit with Kealani Netane is Monday, May 12 @ 10:00. You should have received your Zoom link. If you didn't, check your trash or spam folder. If you need assistance projecting the Zoom visit with Kealani, please let us know. Thank you! Angie Kapolei High School's Drama Performance is Monday, May 12, at 9:30 a.m. in the Cafeteria. Please be seated in the cafeteria before 9:30 a.m.  Thank you. Laura Cafeteria Seating Layout 3-5 - KHS Performance Please take time to go through your Song Fest shirts received and double check that you have one accounted for yourself, each of your students, and all the supporting staff that helps you out in your class or building. If we were not able to locate you, please check in your building's PLC room, we will be leaving them there. All teacher shirts are labeled, so please be mindful of which one you are taking. We do not have any extra grade level adult shirts. If there is a shirt that is missing, you need to let the shirt committee (Ashley C., Cam, or Marie) know by tomorrow, so we can let our shirt company know ASAP. They will be working on any unaccounted for shirts next week. So your promptness in this matter is much needed. Attention 4th Grade: We do have a few teacher shirts that will be coming in later. We were short on a few adult sizes for your grade level. So please hang tight as they work on those missing shirts. Attention Non Grade Level Staff: Please see the front office to sign off for your shirt. Please let us know if your shirt size is missing. Please reach out to the shirt committee if you have any questions or concerns.

Morning Broadcast:  Check out this week’s broadcast to learn more about Aloha-Lokomaikaʻi from Ms. Hansen and Ms. Togami and Ms. Giuricich’s 3rd grade class!

Reminder: May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and it's the perfect opportunity to highlight the stories told by and about Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islander Americans. This LINK from HarperCollins Publisher is just a small selection to help celebrate. Use as a digital read aloud in class for your own personal enjoyment.
