Director Paul’s Message

Aloha Alaka’i Ohana,

We are thrilled to kick off the new school year with our inaugural Back to School Sessions this past Friday, August 14th. This event was a wonderful opportunity for our families and educators to connect, build relationships, and work together to support learner success.

During these sessions, parents and guardians had the chance to meet our support staff and hear directly from teachers about classroom expectations, upcoming projects, and curriculum. We wrapped up our time together with a community favorite—Lunch on the Lawn!

A great way to grow our partnerships for this school year!

Mahalo and malama pono.
Mr. Paul
