Aloha Junior School Parents,
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! We hope that you all have had a safe and enjoyable summer with your families! Our campus is buzzing with teachers and staff busily preparing our classrooms and playgrounds for our students' return. By now, you should have received an email with your class placement as well as your child's first day of school. At the JS we start our year off with welcoming one half of the class on one day, and the other half the next, followed by the entire class on the third day. We do this to ease our students into transitioning to the school day. If you are unsure about your start date, please reach out to Kimberly.
Mahalo nui for those of you who are able to join our Junior School Back to School Zoom, and for those of you who couldn't make it, we will send out a recording of the session for you to watch at a later time.

Be on the lookout for a phone call from your child's teacher who is eager to meet with you for a face to face parent/student/teacher meeting to start the school year. We are thrilled to welcome our students back to campus where they will explore, develop friendships, play, and learn about the fascinating world around them!
