If you share these hopes, please sign this petition.
Given the continuing pandemic and reports of inconsistent health protocols, we urge the Hawaii DOE (HIDOE) to:
- Provide safe conditions for students and teachers.
- Spend emergency funds ensuring compliance with safety protocols and contact tracing needs.
- Deliver in-person, blended/hybrid, and fully distance learning options to Hawai`i families.
- Negotiate work agreements with teachers to reflect current needs.
- Plan for any eventuality: develop systems that support effective two-way communication, leverage the talent and knowledge of our own teachers, and streamline operations.
Mahalo for your support of our Hawai‘i Public Schools!
Parent Engagement
Speaking out for quality public schools is more complicated than ever before. Parents want to know about education standards, school accountability, school boards and testing.
PEP is a customized multi-day education opportunity that prepares parents to be knowledgeable education leaders. This year we are innovating with a distance learning program.
MIDDLE SCHOOL TOURS
Working together with schools, our tours are designed to help families with children in 5th and 6th grade explore and learn about the public school options in their community.
Families hear about the school’s unique vision, the various programs and activities that may be offered, see, and sometimes hear examples of student’s work, meet and talk to staff, and visit the campus, classrooms, and facilities
