🌺 Welcome Back, ʻOhana!

We hope your Fall Break was full of rest, laughter, and wonderful adventures with family and friends! As our school bells ring once again, we are so excited to welcome all of our students, teachers, and families back to campus.

As we step into this next chapter of our school year, we carry our core Hawaiian values with us every day:

• Aloha (Kindness & Compassion): Let’s greet each other with warm smiles, welcoming energy, and open hearts as we reconnect with classmates and teachers.

• Lōkahi (Unity & Harmony): We thrive when we work together. Let’s bring a spirit of collaboration and support to our classrooms, playgrounds, and shared spaces.

• Kuleana (Responsibility): Returning to school means stepping back into our responsibility to learn, grow, and care for our campus and community.

• Holu (Flexibility & Resilience): Just like the swaying coconut tree, we adapt to new challenges, embrace change with grace, and keep moving forward together.

We can't wait to hear all about your Fall Break stories and see all the incredible things our students will accomplish this season. Let’s make this quarter our best one yet!

Welcome back to campus, ʻohana—let's shine together! 🌟

📅 Mark Your Calendars: Upcoming School Events

Please keep these key dates in mind as we kick off the new term:

• 📸 Picture Days: Thursday & Friday of next week! (Make sure your child comes dressed and ready to smile!)

• 🗣️ Parent-Teacher Conferences: October 21st & October 23rd. (Stay tuned for sign-up details and scheduling info coming soon.)

😎 Wishing Our ʻOhana a Safe and Wonderful Fall Break!

As the school bells quiet down for Fall Break, we want to wish all our students and their families a restful, fun, and joyful time away from the classroom. Whether you are traveling or enjoying a relaxing staycation, this break is a wonderful opportunity to practice our core school values out in the community.

Let the spirit of Aloha guide your kindness toward family and friends, and cherish the Lōkahi (unity and harmony) of spending quality time together. As you head out for adventures, please remember your Kuleana (responsibility) to make safe, smart choices. Whether you're riding a bike, visiting the beach, or playing at the park, take care of yourself and look out for one another. Finally, practice Holu (flexibility and resilience) by bending like the cocunut trees and going with the flow, even if your break plans unexpectedly change!

Have a safe, relaxing, and happy Fall Break. We can't wait to hear all about your adventures and welcome everyone back to campus soon!
