Message from Administration Aloha CKMS Ohana:
On March 3rd, we welcome our Western Association of Schools and Colleges
(WASC) visiting committee to CKMS.
WASC works in conjunction with the Hawaii Department of Education (DOE) to
accredit educational institutions. The WASC Focus On Learning self-study is a joint
process between WASC and the DOE that examines what students know and are able
to do. This process helps a school identify and implement school improvement
needs, supports accountability, and earns an accreditation term. Chiefess Kamaka-
helei’s WASC accreditation is up for review this school year. March 3rd-9th, a team
of teachers, counselors, and administrators from WASC will visit CKMS to review
our programs and determine the term of the next accreditation.
We are excited to showcase the exciting learning happening at Chiefess Kamakahelei
Middle School. Our Teachers strive to make learning applicable to our students’
world, giving them opportunities to connect what is happening in the classroom to
real life experiences. In 8th grade this quarter fantastic learning experiences are hap-
pening in English where students are preparing to debate the topic of cell phone use
while driving. Through this process, they are polishing their abilities to use online
research from trusted sites to gather evidence to support their arguments and refute
their opponents claims. In 8th grade Science, students are studying earthquakes and
participating in the “Tower Challenge”, building structures which they hope will
withstand seismic waves created by a shake table. In 8th Grade Math students are
learning transformations, Geometry skills of reflection, dilation, rotation, and transla-
tion that are applicable in career fields such as drafting, architecture and fashion de-
sign to name a few.
The vision of CKMS states, “E Holomua I Ka Na’auao” ~ Progress through
knowledge, Always Striving, Constantly Learning, and Forever Improving. In
order for CKMS to continue strengthening our school, we need our parents’ in-
put. If you are a parent or guardian of students in grades 7 & 8, we need your
feedback to improve school quality. Students in 7th and 8th will also be com-
pleting the survey through their Advisory. We respectfully request a few mo-
ments of your time to complete the School Quality Survey (SQS). Your honest
responses will remain anonymous. Please respond by March 17, 2017. The in-
formation taken from the survey is extremely useful for schools to use in plan-
ning for improvement and other purposes.
Sincerely,
Pomai Burkart, Joseph Hicks, Nouveau Naumu and Debra Badua

National Spread the Word to End the Word Day
Join the rest of the state and the nation in promoting the end of the use of the r-word on March 1st,
2017!!! CKMS Team Unify will be celebrating acceptance week after spring break. However, on Wednes-
day, March 1st we are asking all of you who have one of our CKMS Team Unify shirts or one of our past
Spread the Word shirts to wear your shirts. We still have CKMS Team Unify shirts if you would like to
purchase one for $20.
When some people say the R-word, retard(ed), they might not think it's insulting, but it is. That's why the
campaign 'Spread The Word To End The Word` takes action to spread the message about how hurtful using
the R-word can be. The campaign gets people to pledge to "stop saying the R-word as a starting point to-
wards creating more accepting attitudes and communities for all people." This year, the annual Spread The
Word To End The Word took place nationally on Wednesday, March 1.
But just because the day has passed, does not mean it is too late for you to make a commitment and
pledge to eliminate the R-word from your vocabulary. The R-word might not seem offensive to people that
say it, but it's a very disrespectful thing to someone who has or knows someone with intellectual disabilities.
Retarded went from being a medical term to being an insult, a form of bullying and another word for dumb
or stupid. And it has to stop. Words are just as hurtful as physical harm.
Please join me in taking the pledge to end the use the R-word at www.r-word.org/<http://www.r-
word.org/>.
