School Updates April 12, 2021
Aloha e nā ʻohana o Hau‘ula,
Last week, when I was visiting with a class, the teacher asked the students to think about ways the pandemic has had a positive effect on people. It was an interesting discussion because it’s not always easy to see the positive in presumably negative situations. The teacher explained that to see the positive, a person would have to shift their thinking and mindset so they could accurately view things from a broader perspective.
In thinking about this message, I am grateful for the many hands and hearts that have helped us through this school year. What started out as a year of uncertainty, has turned into a year of strength, growth, personal development and learning. We are resilient as a result and we are so much better with handling technology, communicating with and taking care of each other. These are some of the positive effects I have witnessed
among our staff, students, families and community partners. As we gear up for Quarter 4, let us Holomua - move ahead, steadfastly, keeping our focus on finishing the year strong!
SCHOOL DATA (04/12/21)
-
Students In Person/On Campus Learning: 85% (296 students)
-
Students Distance Learning Only: 15% (52 students)
-
Total Enrollment PK-6: 348
-
Chronically Absent (15+ days): 17% (60 students)
DROP OFF/PICK UP REMINDERS:
-
2 lanes may be used to pick up students in grades 2-6. For families using the outside lane, an adult will
be checking temperatures in the morning and helping your child to the car in the afternoon. -
Meals will be served from both lanes.
-
3 stalls in the office parking lot will be used for the second grab-and-go tent. Cars should not be parked in the coned-off stalls.
-
4 stalls fronting C Bldg will be used for PK-1 drop-off/pick up. Cars should not be parked in the coned
off stalls. -
PLEASE DO NOT DROP OFF YOUR CHILD ON CAMPUS EARLIER THAN 7:45 am. We need all students
to be screened before going to class. When they come too early, we miss screening them. Do not
leave them before we are able to check them in. -
Do not call your child to your car across the street. Please pull in and use the pick up lanes.
CAMPUS SECURITY:
For the last two months we have been monitoring surveillance videos tracking visitors and activity that are taking place on the campus between 7:00 pm-3:00 am. A male and female who are frequent to the campus cut an entire row of ti leaves in front of A building, torched several walls and doors in the A and B buildings, pulled off all the 6ft distancing stickers in the A building hallway, and left burnt plastic and glass pieces by B building classrooms. A man pulled out an entire plant and threw it back on the sidewalk and someone duct taped the A building door chains. Last week we were able to arrest a man who was actively using illegal substances on campus around 7:15 pm. We have 5 reports of property damage filed with HPD and are working with an investigator. We are asking for the community's help to keep our campus safe:
● Please help us get the word out that we need to keep our campus safe and clean for our keiki. We are finding broken bottles, cans, clear baggies, cigarettes and food along the wall and parking lot in front
of C building.
● If you see suspicious activity on our campus or in the parking lots after hours please call 911.
● Taking plants, ti leaves and flowers from our campus without permission is stealing, and takes away from the safe and positive learning environment that our custodians have worked hard to create and
maintain for our school.
● If you would like to help organize a campus patrol group or have questions about campus facilities, please contact Maile Ho 305-2091 or Leona Tupou at 305-2083.
Please call our office if you have any questions, (808) 305-2100
Mahalo piha,

Counselor's Corner
CHOOSE EMPATHY
Empathy is an important component of building healthy relationships. When we
empathize with someone, we seek to understand their joy, their pain, their triumphs and their struggle as if it were our own. Mindfulness is something that can help people become more aware of their own internal feelings and emotions and in turn, this can open the door to be able to understand the feelings of others. https://youtu.be/x7adYIQ6Vho
STUDENT CHECK-IN:
CHOOSE LOVE LESSONS:
Ho'oponopono/Forgiveness
Forgiveness (Ho'oponopono) Let it Go
Compassion for Self & for Others
WHAT WE DO: Guidance and counseling services are provided for the purpose
of assisting students with their educational, personal-social adjustments, and
progress. This service is an integral part of the total school program. Specific areas addressed are crisis intervention, counseling (helping students with coping strategies, make decisions and solve problems), and guidance activities
such as testing, and career information. Examples of situations where a counselor might be involved with students include:
● When a student has personal concerns or important decisions to make and needs to know more about alternatives and possible consequences.
● When a student wants some help in solving a problem with a teacher or
a parent.
● When a student is concerned about drugs, alcohol, and related issues.
● When a student thinks he/she may need help or coordination by outside agencies, such as Social Services.
● When a student would like career guidance or be part of a counseling group.
● When a student’s parents want to be constructively involved (having a
conference with a counselor and/or teachers).
