Aloha Hickam Families,

I hope you had a wonderful February. As we approach Spring Break, I would like to invite you to our Spring Program on Friday, March 14th. Our theme is decades, and your child(ren ) have been working diligently for this performance. We are all excited to see them in action. Thanks again for your continued support. Wishing you a wonderful end to your 3rd quarter and a relaxing spring break.

Sincerely,

Patrick Wetzel

Principal

Aloha HES Families,

As we step into March, we are excited for a month filled with learning and growth. With spring just around the corner, there are many wonderful opportunities for our students to engage in enriching activities both inside and outside the classroom. Thank you for your ongoing support in making Hickam Elementary a wonderful place for learning and growth. As always, my door is open—please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Go Falcons!

Kindly,

Ms. Jones

Vice Principal

To ensure the safety and supervision of all our students, we kindly request your cooperation in ensuring that your child(ren) do not arrive before 7:40 a.m. Our staff will be available to provide supervision starting at this time.

For students who ride the school bus or participate in breakfast at school, we will have arrangements to hold them in the cafeteria until 7:40 a.m. We are making this adjustment due to the recent increase in early arrivals, and our primary concern is to guarantee a secure environment for all students.

We kindly ask for your assistance in discussing this change with your child(ren) to ensure their understanding and cooperation. Your support in this matter is immensely appreciated.

Please help us plan for SY 2025-26 by completing our Student Survey form to show your intent for next school year.

Our 2nd and final Scholastic Book Fair is coming March 5th-12th in the MMLC. The book fair will be open to family and friends daily from 2:00-3:15pm, Wednesday 1:00-3:15pm. Students will be provided a time to preview the book fair during the school day, and those with money will be provided time to purchase during the school day. If you would like to have your child purchase books, but don't want to send money, you can set them up with a eWallet! A Book Fair eWallet is a cash-free, stress-free way for parents to empower your child(ren) to choose their own books and check out with their very own digital payment account. Book Fair eWallet can be used at the Fair or online. Once you set up your child’s eWallet, you can share the link with family and friends who may want to donate to your child’s eWallet.
