July 3, 2023 - Parent Bulletin
Dear Parents,
I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits as you enjoy summer and prepare for an exciting 2023-2024 school year.
As we embark on this new academic school year, our teachers and staff are fully committed to providing the best educational experience for your children. We are eager to foster a positive and inclusive school culture. We will facilitate opportunities for community involvement, extracurricular activities, and events that celebrate our students’ diverse talents and achievements.
I encourage you to stay connected with us throughout the year. We will send bi-weekly parent bulletins and emails to update essential dates, events, and relevant information. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher. Your dedication and partnership are vital in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for our students. Together, we will make this a memorable year for everyone.
I appreciate your support! Have a great 4th of July!
Your partner in education,
Ryan A. Amine

Class assignments will be emailed to parents on July 27th. On August 2nd, each teacher will email you slide decks that include their expectations and procedures for their classroom and school for you to review prior to the Meet and Greet.
The goal for this Meet and Greet evening is for the parents and children to visit their classroom, drop off their supplies, and meet their teacher. In the cafeteria, you can purchase uniforms, make a lunch payment, and sign-up for the YMCA A+ Program. You can also visit the SSD classes as well.

Lunch Payment Information
If your child will be eating school-purchased breakfast or lunch, please make sure you deposit money to your child's meal account by the first day of school. You may apply for free and reduced-price meals at EZMealApp.com starting July 15, 2023 (see instructions below).
Deposits may be made at the Payment Collection Box located in the School Office. Once a child’s account has been opened with an initial deposit, the school office will send home a Payment Reminder when the balance reaches $0.00 or less. Parents are urged to check for these Payment Reminders or check the“EZSchoolPay.com” website to monitor your child’s balance. Additional deposits must then be made to replenish the account and avoid deficit balances.
Deposits may be made by cash or check payable to "Department of Education, State of Hawaii" at the Payment Collection Box located in the school office or online at EZSchoolPay.com. Initial payments can also be made at Open House in the cafeteria.
