Vision: “Ke Kula Kaiapuni 'O Pūʻōhala School is a place where students can think critically through their observations of their culture and community, show respect for past, present, and future knowledge, have respectful values, and promote positive relationships to become powerful agents of change to better our world.”
On behalf of the Pūʻōhala School Faculty & Staff, I would like to wish everyone a “Happy Winter Break” and thank you for working with us since August to keep everyone on campus safe and we invite you to continue to work with us as we transition into the New Year. This message’s primary purpose is to inform our students and ʻohana of a decision that I, Poʻokumu Ikaika, have made regarding school resuming in January 2021. I want to get this information out to families early so everyone can make arrangements for next year. Tuesday, January 5, 2021, through Friday, January 8, 2021, will be 100% Distance Learning for all students
I understand that this may cause some difficulty for families, do not hesitate to contact me at (808) 305-5900 or by replying to this email. If we work together, I know we can find a solution. If you have difficulty accessing our Pūʻōhala School messages, you can visit our school Weebly site by clicking on the following link. Aloha Pūʻōhala ʻOhana,
November 23, 2020 is approaching and we are preparing to have our students back on campus. In general, we will begin with lower grades but we have already begun to invite students to campus based on their quarter 1 progress, teacherʻs or kumuʻs classroom capacity, and most importantly, SAFETY. If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this email and I will work diligently to respond and provide clarification. I am intentionally releasing information slowly due to the nature of this pandemic. As we get updated information, it may change the way we bring students back to campus and determine who and how many we have capacity for. Attached to this message is our “OPT-IN” form for 100% Distance Learning. I am also providing a link to our Google form if you want to “OPT-IN” digitally. Complete by December 4, 2020. Pūʻōhala School 2020.2021 100% DISTANCE LEARNING "OPT-IN" FORM In preparation for students return to campus, I humbly ask you to practice the following habits at home NOW:

I also want to recognize your resourcefulness in finding imaginative and skillful ways to succeed in this new and challenging journey to learn through non-traditional and unfamiliar methods. Please make time to highlight your familyʻs and students' triumphs, to reflect upon the big and small accomplishments for overcoming technological complications, creative ways to provide comfortable learning environments in your homes, families coming together to provide supervision and care for our students, and for giving them the best opportunity to learn. Mahalo nui loa. As we move forward in quarter 2, I am providing you with a little information regarding Pūʻōhalaʻs plan to transition students back onto campus for learning in a safe manner.

When we work together, I know we can accomplish great things and Pūʻōhala School values the benefits of working together to forge lasting relationships for our flourishing community. Aloha. Mission: Pūʻōhala School empowers students by developing strong foundations of ʻike kupuna, positive relationships, and lifelong learning.
