April 6 Newsletter
Aloha,
I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter Break and got to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord with loved ones. With Easter in our past, we will quickly be at the end of our school year.
As more of our population become vaccinated and numbers of positive cases are somewhat under control, it is safe to say that we will at least begin next school year in our current state. Should the situation improve, adjustments will be made to bring more students to campus on a more regular basis. Also, at this point, the option to remain at home for distance learning will stand. As we get closer to the end of the current school year we will ask families to confirm your selection of this option.
For the time being, it is extremely important that we all do not let our guard down – all basic protocols for health and safety are still encouraged and in place. Here on campus it is important for our students to cooperate with the protocols as they have done so well since returning to campus.
Students are reminded to make sure that they always use their school ID when on campus. Also, please make sure that student meal accounts have sufficient funds to pay for their meals while on campus.
Mahalo,
Dr. Kyle J. Atabay, ’84
Head of School
