Although 2020 has provided significant challenges, our community has remained steadfast in keeping our health and safety a priority as well as providing a quality learning environment for our keiki. Specifically, our teachers and aides have gone the extra mile to ensure our policies and practices were implemented throughout our school day, while also delivering engaging and thoughtful learning. In addition, our tech team, nurses, medical hui, and facilities team all played integral parts in ensuring a safe reopening and face to face program. I'm thankful for the resilience of our students and their thirst for learning and willingness to try new things. And lastly, mahalo to all of you. For keeping up with our new policies and practices, for your flexibility with our new drop off and pick up routines, and for partnering with us to make this year a success. I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday! E mÄlama pono, Josh Masagatani
