Updates for the Week of May 18, 2026

We hope you managed the crazy Friday storm and Sonic Traffic this past weekend around the school safely.  We anticipate a lot of adjustment as the community gets accustomed to our new neighbors, however, we look forward to their support with our traffic and parking.  They are very aware of the potential impact this week and have plans to help! The Kapolei 25th Anniversary on Friday turned out to be a successful event despite the storm delay!  Thank you to Keri Zigan for riding out the storm and managing to showcase our student artwork during the event-we still had 20 families show up to see the student work!! Don’t forget traffic will be heavily congested again this Friday with Kapolei High Graduation and Parking.

Mahina Made Photo Opportunity If you are interested in participating in a group photo for Mahina Made, please wear the provided shirt on Wednesday, May 20. Thank you again to Jordyn Shota-Chang for helping us be the first school to collab with them! UHWO Mentorship Opportunities University of Hawaii West Oahu is looking for teachers to host practicum or student teachers. If you are interested in mentoring the next generation of educators, please let Principal Rankie know, who will share your contact information with their placement office. Disposal of Instructional Materials It is time to purge your workspaces of old Wonders and PLTW materials, as well as any other items you no longer need. To accommodate this, we are purchasing a roll-off bin. For bulky instructional materials such as your Wonders Curriculum, you may bring them to the Office Conference Room between May 26 and May 28. Please take this time to thoroughly purge your materials so we can make the most of the bin. MagicSchool AI Pilot & SY 26-27 Licensing The Office of Curriculum and Instructional Design (OCID) requires all pilot participants to complete the Teacher Experience Survey by COB Friday, May 15. Please note that completion is required to be considered for a license extension. OCID will prioritize renewals for classroom teachers who use the platform regularly and utilize MagicStudent features to certify and support their students.

If your assignment involves moving and you require logistical support, please contact Ericson or Josh for assistance.
