Kahala Elementary School Home

We look forward to seeing you to share our programs activities, curriculum, and expectations for the new school year. Space is limited, so please have keiki stay at home. Playgrounds are off-limits for safety reasons. On-street parking along Kilauea Avenue and Pahoa Avenue is available, but limited, so please come early. For more information, see attached flyer.

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides parent(s)/guardian(s) of a HIDOE student, the right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teacher(s) and if the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so their qualifications. Federal law allows you to ask for certain information about your child’s classroom teacher(s) and paraprofessional(s) and requires us to give you this information in a timely manner upon request. You have the right to ask for the following information about each of your child’s classroom teacher(s). 1. Whether the teacher has met State qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which he/she provides instruction. 2. Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived. 3. Whether the teacher is teaching in the field of discipline of their teacher certification. 4. Whether any teachers’ aides or similar paraprofessionals provide services to your child and, if they do, their qualifications. If you would like to receive any of this information, please contact our school office.

School begins on Tuesday, August 7. Our teachers have spent many hours getting their classrooms ready to receive our students, and we hope our keiki are excited to come back, too! A new school year means new experiences, new friends, and new opportunities to grow!

Please plan to join us to learn more about our school, our staff, and our programs. Fliers will go home in Friday Folders this week with more information.

Starting today, you may call our office at 733-8455 to find out which class your child will be in this school year. We will also be available on the first day of school to help families locate their classrooms. Welcome Back!

Here's the school supply list to get a head start on the upcoming school year. We look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday, August 7.
