Elementary (K5-6)

List of 9 items.

• Individual Student Orientation

  To ensure a great start to a successful school year, the student and at least one parent of each student must attend orientation.
  
  All Elementary students will have individual orientation appointments scheduled by the divisional offices on August 10-13. Your child can meet his/her teacher before the first day of school and bring school supplies. Students do not need to wear uniforms for orientation.
  
  For Grades 4-6, students do not need to bring their laptop.
  
  What to bring to orientation:
  

  • School Supplies
  • Signed forms and documents
  • Permission for Treatment
  • Partnering Profile Form
  • BYOD Policy Form (Grades 4-6)

• First Days of School - Updated

  First Days of School for On-campus Students:

  
  Monday, August 17 - K3-Grade 6 students with last name beginning with L-Z

              
  Tuesday, August 18 - K3-Grade 6 students with last name beginning with A-K

              
  Wednesday, August 19 - All on-campus students report

   

  The first days of school will be a regular, full day with Before- and After-School Care. For the first few days, it is often easier for first time students, especially K3 students, to be picked up immediately after school rather than staying in After-School Care. After the children are acquainted with the school, the transition to After-School Care is much easier.

• Online Education Program - NEW

  We are excited to be able to offer our Online Education Program (OEP) for our K5-6^th grade students this school year.  Thank you for expressing interest in this option for your child.  We have an OEP informational document that addresses questions that we received. 

   

  The next step is that we need a firm commitment to our OEP program.  Please fill out the Services Addition & Removal Form.  Please select the last option called Elementary Online Education Program.  If you have previously registered for Before School Care, After School Care, or other on-campus services, please use this same form to remove those services.  Private music lessons may be scheduled virtually so there is no need to cancel that service. 

   

  You can disregard the $60.00 cancellation fee stated at the top of the document because we will be waiving it if you are signing up for the OEP. 

   

  Please submit this completed document to elementary@hanalani.org.  Feel free to either print and scan or digitally sign the form.  The deadline for committing to the OEP is Friday, August 7, at 11:59 pm. 

   

  For those who commit to the OEP, we will be having a virtual orientation meeting next Monday, August 17, at 6:30 pm.  Once we have an established roster for the OEP program we will be sending out the link for the virtual orientation meeting via email.
  
  The last day to sign up for OEP is Thursday, August 13 at 8:00 a.m..
