After 3 consecutive days of being absent, students will need a re-admit pass from the Health Room at the front office.

continue to be sent out as schools are mandated to inform families of their child’s absences.
UPCOMING VAPING/E-CIGARETTE INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION FOR ALL
All parents/guardians, students and families will have an opportunity to join us for a special presentation on the risks and harmful effects of vapes/e-cigarettes. Date and time will be shared soon. In 2019, The U.S. Surgeon General’s report showed that e-cigarette use among youth is a public health concern and is growing at an alarming rate. Four years ago, 48% of Hawaii High School and 31% of Middle School reported that they’ve tried using e-cigarettes. That number has rapidly increased. The Elementary Schools are not exempt. We are well aware that several of our own students have tried or used vapes/e-cigarettes. Of the students we
spoke with, the majority reported that it is not their first time using it and it is easily accessible and available at home or at family gatherings through an older sibling/cousin, parent/adult or family member who also uses vapes/e-cigarettes. Once the date is secured, we hope that all families will be able to attend with their child.
Mahalo for your time and continued support. We appreciate all of our families and community partners.
Please call our office if you have any questions, (808) 305-2100.
A`ohe hana nui ka alu`ia.
Mahalo piha,
