We hope that you are doing well and had a restful week off with your ʻohana. We have 2 announcements for you all.

First Day Face to Face: August 30, 2021

Aloha kākou!

We are so excited to see our keiki on all kahua kula tomorrow and want to remind you of a few things before returning.

Dropoff and pickup will be done via drive-thru similar to last year on all kahua kula. To expedite the process we are asking all ʻohana to do the MANDATORY Wellness Check-in by 7:00 am so that we can check completion prior to arrival. Reminder no keiki will be allowed on campus if the wellness check is not done or if you answer yes to any of the questions. This is crucial to maintain the health and safety of our whole kula and community so please help us keep you and your keiki and ʻohana healthy and safe. There will be a temperature check at drop-off and ensure that everyone in. your vehicle is masked when we come to your car. You may find the link for the wellness check here: or scan the qr code below and save it to your phone.

FIRST-DAY PACKETS!!!! Reminder if you have not done so already, please complete your first-day packets. Keiki will not be on campus without this completed as well. We will be double-checking and having you park and complete before leaving your keiki on campus if not completed. This is important because in the event of an emergency we need the most updated information for emergency contacts and other information that is part of our first-day packet forms. You can find the link here: FIRST DAY PACKET  Please complete it before dropping your keiki tomorrow.

 Mahalo for continuing to communicate with kumu and kula about any and all concerns or questions you may have pertaining to your ʻohana and proper protocol for ensuring the safety of our community. We will continue to communicate with you all with any updates or further information as necessary but we appreciate how serious you are all taking what is happening in our community. E mālama kākou i kekahi i kekahi! Mahalo and as always please reach out if you have any questions or concerns!

Ke aloha nui iā ʻoukou pakahi a pau!

Anamanaʻo: FINAL RETURN TO LEARN ʻOHANA DECISION Hapahā 1 (Q1)

Aloha,

 Ke one holu o Waiolama, like the ever-shifting sands of Waiolama we would like to mahalo all of you for your ahonui and aloha as we shift and pivot our program for everyoneʻs health and safety. Based on the Return to Learn Survey results, kumu and limahana with approval from the Governing Board, are working to allow ʻohana to select the learning design that best meets their needs at this time.  Please read the attached letter (here) for that decision and what you need to do in the meantime so that we can prepare for your keikiʻs return to campus. In general this we have decided to:

Provide two choices for ʻohana for Hapahā 1 (Q1):

 
1.).  100% DISTANCE or
2.)  100% Face to Face for Papa 1-12 

****Kai Kohola and Papa Mālaaʻo to be ONLY 100% Face to Face with no option for Distance Learning***

Please read the following letter for more details about this decision and what all ʻohana MUST do to help us to prepare. After reading and agreeing to meet the expectations for ʻohana and keiki for ONLINE and FACE to FACE learning your ʻohana must make a choice for the quarter for your ʻohana via this link:  www.shorturl.at/qwzF2 (or the hyperlink in the title above) by Sunday, August 22nd.

If you have any questions please feel free to send an email to kokua@kaumeke.net and we will respond as quickly as possible. A one call will be coming out shortly and we will also be doing a video with additional information to be posted sometime this weekend.
