Dear Hokulani Parents & Guardians,

Thank you to those that have completed their School Quality Survey (SQS). Your feedback about our school is important to us.

Reminder: Your responses will be kept confidential in order to gather candid information and will be used by schools for continuous improvement purposes. As a parent/guardian, this is an opportunity for your voice to be heard.

If you have not yet completed the survey, we request a few moments of your time to complete one.

Parents/Guardians should complete one survey per child. You can complete the SQS online at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2023SQSParent or by scanning the QR code attached.

Please read the survey directions carefully and complete the survey by the deadline of March 10, 2023.

Thank you for your support and for helping to improve our school.

We need volunteers to help make our Spring Fling a memorable event for our students. Volunteer for a part of the event or the entire time. Please sign up with your child's teacher.

If your child is between the age of 0 to 22 and is having difficulty speaking, listening, seeing, hearing, walking, using their hands, behaving, getting along with others, or learning, there are professionals who can help. For information and to get help, contact the following:
For children 3 to 22, call Hawaii State Department of Education at (808) 305-9810 or 1-800-297-2070.

Apologies for the late post, it's been a crazy week (with it being our Spirit Week and all). But we couldn't let it go unsung - the success of our Halloween Parade 2022 🎃
Thank you to all those that helped make it a 'fang-tastic' success. The rains stay away enough for the children to show case their amazing, I mean terrifying costumes.
We have posted some videos of the event on ClassDojo, but you can also check out Hokulani's Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.

Hokulani has again been named as 1 of only 3 schools in Honolulu to have received the National Blue Ribbon Schools Award for 2022. We have previously received this award back in 2005, and 2012. However, with our recent changes and the pandemic, receiving this award this year has an extra special meaning. A huge thank you to everyone that make Hokulani what it is - a place where our ohana are dedicated to building a strong foundation that fosters a love of learning that inspires everyone to reach their highest potential in an ever-changing world!

U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona today recognized 297 schools as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2022. The recognition is based on a school’s overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. Secretary Cardona made the announcement during his Road to Success Back to School bus tour.

National Blue Ribbon Schools serve as models of effective school practices for state and district educators and other schools throughout the nation. A National Blue Ribbon School flag gracing a school’s entryway or on a flagpole is a widely recognized symbol of exemplary teaching and learning.

Quick Reminder - Picture Make-up day will be on Friday October 21, 2022.

If you have any questions please contact your child's class teacher or the school office.

Thank you!
