We would like to remind K-2 families to please pack an extra set of clothes for your children. As the weather gets cooler, it's important that students have a backup in case of spills, accidents, or unexpected weather changes. Our nurse's office does not have a sufficient supply of warm clothes for every learner, so having an extra set in your child's backpack will help ensure they stay comfortable and warm throughout the school day. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for helping us keep your children prepared and cozy!

Join us for High Five Mondays! Every Monday! Come out to the gate before school, give out some high fives, and welcome students to school! All father figures are welcome.

We kindly ask for your cooperation in ensuring the safety and smooth operation of our school parking lot. To help us maintain a safe and efficient environment for everyone, please take note of the following reminders:

1. Drop-Off Lane: Please do not park or leave your car unattended in the drop-off lane. This area is designated for quick drop-offs, and leaving your vehicle can cause delays and safety concerns.

2. Curbside Stopping: Avoid stopping along the red curb, as it can create traffic blockages and unsafe conditions for students and other vehicles.

I want to emphasize the importance of driving safely in our school's parking lot. Our parking lot is a shared space where pedestrians and vehicles must coexist safely. Please drive slowly - no more than 5 MPH.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports is a proactive approach to behavior management in schools and other settings. PBIS emphasizes teaching and reinforcing positive behaviors rather than solely focusing on punishment for negative behaviors. It involves creating a supportive and structured environment, setting clear expectations, and providing rewards or incentives to encourage desired behaviors. The goal of PBIS is to improve overall behavior and create a more positive and productive atmosphere.

All of our students are learning "The Hannalei Way: We are Respectful, We are Kind and Caring, We are Responsible".
