Aloha to the learning community of Alaka’i O Kaua’i Charter School, and hope this Monday Message finds you in good health and happiness. Last week we welcomed back our learners after the annual spring break, and everyone quickly adjusted to life in beautiful Kahili Valley.
It was fantastic to have our 4th graders enjoy a field trip to visit the Coast Guard, and we love the opportunity we enjoy on Kaua’i to safely travel off campus to learn about our island.
One topic of discussion in our learning community is the private road we all use to travel to Alaka’i O Kaua’i Charter School. Our school leases our facilities from Maker Learning Network, who in turn lease our campus and a greater amount of land from Knudsen Trust. Mahalo to our Board of Directors, who continue to advocate for improvements to the road, as we all understand the challenges it can create for people. As the road to campus is a private road owned by Knudsen Trust, it is not a public road, so maintenance does not come to the County of Kaua’i or the state of Hawai’i. We will continue to work to expand our bussing opportunities in the 2021-2022 school year to address this issue for all.
Mahalo for your support of our unique charter school, and best wishes to all for a terrific week.
