Lunch supervisors

Aloha, Once again we are looking for lunch supervisors both permanent and substitutes.  Lunch supervisors work either an hour and a half shift or a two hour shift both at $8.00 per hour.  If you are interested but aren't familiar with our cafeteria, I strongly encourage you to sit through our lunch block 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM in order to see what the lunch supervisors are responsible for.   If this looks like a job you are ready, willing, and able to tackle, please leave your name and phone number at the Main Office to schedule an interview.  Thank you, Agnes Leinau, Vice Principal 622-6380 ext 225

T shirts are in P14

There’s also a full size range of adult sizes. $10.00 for all sizes, cash or check payable to ‘Hale Kula PTO’. Available in room P14 at any time.

Walk or bike to school benefits

There are so many good reasons to walk or bike to school daily. With the current construction traffic & daily PT, you can probably get here faster with less stress. Great exercise for the whole family. Lucky we live Hawai’i and don’t have snow and severe weather. Take advantage of your stay in Hawai’i and make a point of walking to school, thankful that you are not forced to drive due to inclement weather.  Excessive tardies are challenging to a students education, you control your time better by walking. Parking is a nightmare, there I said it, so avoid it by walking.

Edline Parent Code

       If you did not receive your Edline parent code to access certain information on the school web page (www.halekula.k12.hi.us), please email Principal Iwase at jan_iwase@notes.k12.hi.us and she will send you the letter with your code.
