Principal's Message by Alex Ramsvig, HS Principal
August 12, 2021
Aloha All,
I am so delighted that we have had such a successful first few days of our 2021-2022 school year!
If you were unable to attend our parents' welcome back seminar or to hear Earl Kim's presentation on our COVID mitigation strategies and policies, please watch the recordings here on this link. For a synopsis of the most frequently asked questions (FAQ), click here.
My theme with our HS Faculty this year is "Every Step Matters." Our path through the year will be a series of small improvements, changes, and hard work; the journey we take together is worthwhile. I have spoken with many of our students about a similar message, namely, that we will continue to have some uncertainty but we will walk the path together.
Students likely will be fairly exhausted after the first few days, so I encourage everyone to get outside this weekend and have some family time and relax!
Have a great week, Alex

High School Drop Off STUDENT DROP-OFF AND PICKUP
High School students should be dropped off and picked up at the designated area for the HS. In order to assist with traffic flow, please avoid stopping in the main driveway loop. Drivers should not exit their vehicle and please do not stop along the student locker areas until you have pulled all the way forward to the crosswalk just before the large mural (or until the car in front of you stops). Drivers are also asked not to drive through the gravel student parking lot during the drop-off or pick-up process. This creates a very unsafe situation for our student drivers parking and leaving their assigned stalls.
Under no circumstance should students be dropped off or picked up on the road leading down the hill. For safety reasons, students are not permitted to walk off campus, walk, or linger on Kapaa Quarry Road fronting the school.
While it is a mundane topic, student drop-off and pickup directly impacts student safety. Eli Omori is usually directing traffic in the morning and afternoon to ensure wait times are as short as possible. I am asking parents to remain patient and aware of students during these busy times.
