Your Feedback is Important!
The
School Community Council has requested your feedback on an important survey to
improve teaching and learning at Hale Kula.
The survey is on-line at surveymonkey.com. We announced this survey over a month ago,
and to date, we have had a poor response rate.
We are extending the date for parent input to May 24. Please go to the following link https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/K8VSLC6 to complete
the survey. It doesn’t take long, and
your response will help us to make decisions to improve our school.
Also,
the School Community Council is looking for 2 parent representatives. We had no one volunteer when we asked
previously. If you are interested in
serving on the SCC to provide input regarding our Academic and Financial Plan,
please email Principal Jan Iwase at jan_iwase@notes.k12.hi.us. Thank you!

oops
Who noticed the mistake? What a difference 1 word makes. It should have said "No school store on Friday" But I left out the word 'store'. Yes, there is school on Friday and it ends at 1:30. I was trying to say that the PTO will not have their school store open on the last day of the year. Sorry for any confusion, I will blame it on being tired after Water Play Day.
I would like to thank all the great volunteers that helped make Water Play Day a success. Our military partner the 25th HHBN provided 20 great soldiers and I think they had as much fun as the kids. Our parent volunteers were a big help escorting students around. Your generous donation of water bottles was very appreciated. And a special shout out to those that filled water balloons as home. Mahalo.
P.S. School ends at 2:10 on Wednesday
