Commencement and Project Grad:
Mahalo to our faculty and volunteers for your good work as it certainly showed for a very successful graduation ceremony. Commencements serve as a good reminder as to why we are in education. It was especially gratifying to see a good number of our faculty including teachers from the east complex schools in attendance.
Project Grad was a very positive experience for the graduates! They were well fed, entertained and kept safe.....on a side note, just impressed at the amount of food these young men & women consume as they never seemed to get full! Really great to see parents and community individuals involved in supporting this all night event.
SLC Academies:
Reminder to the English, Math, Science and Social Studies (grades 11 & 12) teachers to provide your preference as to which Academy (HOPES or IDEAS) you would like to be a part of. Important that we continue supporting all staff in our Smaller Learning Communities as beginning SY 2012-13, about 65% of our staff will be involved with the HUI and Academies. For those that do not respond by this week, I will be making the assignments for them.
Reminder - Instructional changes for Wednesday, 5/23 and Thursday, 5/24:
Wednesday, May 23rd - student instruction will end at 2:20 p.m; and
Thursday, May 24th (last day for students/teachers) will be converted to a Wednesday schedule ending @1:40 p.m.
Donation:
Special thanks to the Kauai Association for Family and Community Education (FCE) for their generous donation to our Teen Parent Child Care Center program. As part of the National FCE Day of the Family "Books for Newborn", we received about 45 books. On behalf our Kapaa High, I shared that these resources will go a long way in supporting literacy appreciation no matter what age as learning has no boundaries.
