Updates

1)  The fifth grade Science and Engineering Fair has been moved to Friday, February 22 from 5:00-6:30 p.m. due to a conflict with the Wheeler Middle School Informational Meeting for incoming sixth graders and their families.  Student projects will be displayed in their classrooms (A-building and P-17) or in the library (B1 and F4A).  We encourage you to attend and ask questions of our students.  Two projects from each classroom will be selected by the judges to continue to the Complex Area Science and Engineering Fair at Wahiawa Elementary School on May 7. Winners will be announced on Monday, February 25 during the fifth grade lunch period.  Good luck to all the participants!

2)  If you are interested in learning more about the Blended Learning program at Hale Kula and your child is presently in grade 3 or 4, please attend the meeting on Wednesday, February 27 at 1:00 in the library.  If you attended the first meeting in January and intend to enroll your child, please go to the Hale Kula website, click on "Blended Learning," and look for the application form.  Please complete the application and return it to school as soon as possible.  We are date-stamping the applications, and if we have more applicants than spots available, priority will be based on the date and time the form was returned to the school office.

3)  Modeled after the USAG Hawaii Facebook Town Hall meetings, we are hosting our first virtual School Community Meeting.  This is your opportunity to ask questions or provide suggestions on how to improve teaching and learning at Hale Kula.  Directions are available on the flyer:

4)  Thank you to all of the students who donated to the American Heart Association today as part of Jump Rope for Heart.  We collected over $625!  If your child forgot his/her dollar today, it's not too late.  Have him/her bring the donation in an envelope labeled with "Jump Rope for Heart" and bring it to the school office.  We appreciate your generosity!
