Based on the latest guidance and information from health officials and our elected leaders, Hawai'i Department of Education will be aligning with the emergency orders directing residents statewide to remain at home and work from home through April 30th.  This means school facilities will be closed to students until at least April 30th and traditional in-school instruction is on hold until schools reopen. 

This week our faculty and staff are planning and collaborating together.
Next week, we will be sending out information about enrichment opportunities including online resources and instructional packets.

From our school librarian, Ms. Colte
