National School Counseling Week!!! Mahalo to our counselors for their dedicated efforts in making that positive difference for all students.
Thank you to our students, staff and the many community members who helped in making this past weekend's Family Summit a success. Various community individuals shared their appreciation and admiration as this event sent a positive message in the importance of family and community! Thank you to Principal Sherry Scott in covering for me as I was called to a board meeting on Oahu.
Administration will continue meeting this week with content areas addressing student growth, assessments, and professional learning needs. Schedule for Wednesday, Feb. 8th: VP Diane Ayre to meet with CTE (Evan Costa's room); VP Todd Harrison meets with Fine Arts & PE/Health (Chorus room); and English to meet with principal in (David Mireles room). With mid-quarter upon us, reminder that Doris Morioka Fulks will be helping coordinate cross discipline meetings addressing identified students as submitted from counselors. Please be prepared to participate if contacted.
Just a friendly reminder that per classroom visits, not all classes are listing standards being covered. Students have that right to know what is been taught as well as expected outcomes. For teachers on PEP-T, administration will be scheduling observations shortly.
Asking teachers to consider where you see yourself best contributing as we move forward with our Academies and HUIs at Kapaa High. Grade 10 HUI Academies will be implemented in Fall 2012 with planning starting later this month through June 2012. We will continue working with 11th and 12th grade teachers in preparing for SY 2013-14 implementation. Leadership will be doing a final review of the 10th Grade HUI Academy interest surveys, overview and applications on Monday, Feb. 6th and forms will be e-mailed to everyone shortly. Interested teachers may submit their applications by the end of this month. This is critical in the forward planning for staffing and other resources.
