Please understand that this service is being provided by Ka ʻUmeke Kāʻeo and NOT the Department of Education. It is a costly service, but one that we offer as a kōkua to our ʻohana. We are doing our best to continue bus service while ensuring that students are safe and that we can keep on time. Unfortunately, there may be times when unforeseen circumstances prevent us from providing bus service. We will do everything we can to prevent and limit these situations, but by your understanding should these situations occur would be appreciated.
We are so happy to introduce our bus driver, ʻAnakē Jodi Pereira. You may recognize her as she has been driving school buses for over 20 years. ʻAnakē Jodi was raised in Keaukaha and is now living with her ʻohana in Kaʻūmana. We are so happy that she has joined us here at Ka ʻUmeke.
