Hafa Adai! Welcome to the home of the Islanders! On behalf of the administrative team, it gives me great pride and pleasure to welcome students, parents, teachers and staff to a brand new school year! School year 2023-2024 will be filled with new knowledge and experiences that we hope will be memorable for all. As we move forward into this brand new school year, students must remember that learning is the most important goal. In order to carry out that goal, we all must respect ourselves and others, be responsible for what we do, and finally, be safe.
Thank you and have a great school year!

Hafa adai everyone,
Superintendent Dr. K. Erik Swanson authorized the 2024 Year End of School (YES) Survey for ALL teachers, students grades 3-12, school staff, and school administrators.
We are pushing for at least 50% response rate for every respondent category for each school. The higher the response rate by category, the more accurate the results that you will get for your school.
Below is the link that should be used by everybody in the school regardless of whether the one completing this on-line survey is a teacher, a student, a school staff, or administrator.
This is the link: (CLICK)
The deadline to complete the survey is Tuesday, April 23.
This is everybody's chance to have your voices heard. The Maximization Committee has alloted 4 slots for stakeholder input (parent, teachers, students, school staff) out of 14 factors that we will consider when we recommend to management what to do with each school. The responses by stakeholder category definitely carry a significant weight - SO LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD! We can do this!
