Aloha Pūʻōhala ʻOhana!
We hope you have been able to help your child navigate the Google Classroom the teachers have prepared. If you have any problems, please reach out to your teacher first. They are ready and willing to help you as much as they can. If they are not able to provide a solution that works, your teacher will reach out to the technology specialist and/or Admin. Our expectation is for all students to be engaged in the work provided by their teachers for continued student learning and growth, leading to preparedness going into the following school year. Please continue to work within your google classrooms. Some classes have some hardcopy items to work on. These will be provided at a pickup TOMORROW, APRIL 14TH 9AM - 11AM for the below-listed classes only: PICK UP HARD COPY PACKETS: COME ONLY IF YOUR CHILD IS IN ONE OF THESE CLASSES or if you've made arrangements through your teacher for technology pickup. Kindergarten - Ms. Caira Papa Malaa’o - Kumu Aokea Papa ‘Ekahi - Kumu Kamalei Papa ‘Eha - Kumu Malia We will be located fronting the cafeteria. **** A word from our Librarian: Hello from your librarian! When the school campus is open on Tuesday, April 14th for packet pickups, we ask that you also use this time to drop off any library books your student might still have with them. We will have a book drop bin ready at the pickup line. If your student is still reading their books, please be welcomed to keep them for now. To be clear, no late fees will be applied regardless of when the books are returned. However, just note that this may be our last opportunity to return them this school year and the sooner we can quarantine the books, the safer we will be in sanitizing them for next year. Of course, we understand that families have a lot on their plate already, so donʻt stress about the books! We ask that you help us mālama our library collection in whichever way works best for your family - if that means bringing books back, great! If it means keeping (and reading!) them a bit longer, that is awesome too! If you have any questions about books, just ask your Kumu and they will point you in the right direction. Happy reading!
