    New Student Orientation (including all incoming 7th graders) will be held Monday, August 12, from 10:00am - 1:00pm in the SAC (Gymnasium).

  • First Day of School

    The first day of school---Tuesday, August 13---will be a regular, full day. Students are required to wear the Hanalani Schools uniform on this day. Homeroom listings will be posted on the Founder's Hall and Weinberg buildings the Friday before school starts.

  • Lunch

    School lunch will be available on the first day of school. Lunches may be purchased with lunch coupons or cash. Lunch coupon books of 20 are available for purchase in the Campus Store. Coupons allow the purchase of a complete meal, including: entree, fruit, vegetable, and a drink. Additional items (separate from the daily hot lunch) such as cheeseburgers, musubi, and bentos will also be available for purchase with cash only.

  • Health Requirements

    All students must have submitted an up-to-date health card (form ENR-09). Students entering school in Hawaii for the first time must submit: 1) Tuberculosis (TB) clearance, and 2) a completed Student Health Record (ENR-09) form, with immunizations and a physical examination dated within one year before the first day of school. Students may not begin school unless these forms have been submitted.
