Moanalua High School The Word

A Monthly Publication – Volume 72, Issue 31 – June & July 2017

Dear Moanalua High School Family and Friends, The Moanalua High School Class of 2017 graduation ceremony was a true miracle. Having never had our graduation at Aloha Stadium, I want to thank all those that made this graduation a success. There were many, many faculty, parents, and administration who were instrumental in making this year's graduation a success and I don't want to leave out anyone as there were MANY people who helped make this year and graduation possible. That's why I'm gonna do a blanket thank you as you wouldn't believe the many, many people that chipped in to either print graduation cards, or chaperone the graduation practices, or assist with the SPED students, or even help break down the graduation chairs. Big or small, your contribution helped things go along! The class, myself, the officers, and the leadership kids (you guys were awesome) truly appreciated all the help and guidance these past four years. It was a long..... but I am happy to see each of them going off on their own journey as adults :D Sincerely, Justin Kohara 2017 Class Advisor

To All Committee Members and Volunteers of the Moanalua High School Class of 2017 Project Graduation, Now that I have some time, allow me to convey my sincere appreciation and gratitude to all of you who have contributed to the success of our Project Grad 2017 Event. Seeing the smiles and joys from our graduates on that night is truly immeasurable. Not only did they enjoy themselves but the most important thing is we kept them safe. You all should be proud of that! To our core committee members and spouses: Cathy, my co-chair, thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Couldn’t have done it without you! To Maribelle, thank you for your coordination and commitment. To Sandy, thank you for your enthusiasm and hard work. To my wife Josephine, thank you for your support and contribution.

EMERGENCY CARDS

Please assist the school in the completion of emergency cards that will be issued to your child during the first week of school. If your child becomes ill or injured during school, he/she can be released only with your permission. To assure prompt attention in case of an emergency, notify the school of any changes in telephone numbers and/or addresses throughout the school year. Complete both sides and have your child return the card to his/her homeroom teacher or to the Health Room. Be sure to list any medical concerns or problems that your child may have.

DID YOU MOVE OR CHANGE PHONE NUMBERS?

If you have moved, changed any phone numbers, or made any changes to your child’s demographics, please inform the

registrar’s office as soon as possible by calling 305-1024. For *residency verification, 2 current utility bills must be brought in

to the registrar’s office before changes can be made. *Residency verification is very important, especially if your child participates in extra-curricular activities and sports. Disqualification of the whole team may occur should a student be found to be living out of district without a GE.

FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

Please check your child’s Jupiter Grades for any financial obligations he/she may have. An invoice and/or sticker will also be attached to your child’s SY 17-18 schedule. Students with an outstanding obligation will not be issued textbooks/equipment until their account is cleared. Student financial obligations can be cleared during the summer in the Administration Office (M-F, 8:00 am-3:00 pm).

PLEASE NOTE NEW TRAFFIC FLOW IN PARKING LOT

Over the summer the Faculty Parking Lot entering from Ala Napunani was repaved and relined. Please see diagram to the right for new traffic flow and drop-off pattern. Traffic will now enter through the lowest level and exit through the upper two levels. Students can be dropped off/picked up in front of Q-Bldg or M-Bldg. The middle level is for through traffic only (no student drop off/pick up). These changes were made in an effort to increase student safety, improve traffic congestion, reduce driver frustration, and improve security.

SCHEDULE PICK-UP DAY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL RETURNING STUDENTS Please follow these simple instructions to complete your registration:

Step 1: Schedule pick-up (G Building, 1st floor, G101-G103) Stand in the appropriate alphabetical line and pick up your schedule of classes. If you have paid your fees by mail, a receipt will be attached to your schedule (highly recommended!). Skip Step 2, go on to Step 3.

Step 2: Fee Payment (G Building, 3rd Floor, G301-G303) Proceed to the 3rd floor of G Building using the stairwell closest to the Library. Look for the “one-way” signs. You will not be allowed to pay for fees without your schedule of classes. Complete the fees form included at the end of this article. Write in the fees that you will be paying. Have your check or money ready. Remember that checks must be written for the exact amount only. Please keep your receipt for the entire school year! SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU HAVE MAILED IN YOUR FEE PAYMENT.

Step 3: Accessories (G Building, G104) Exit through the stairwell closest to the Cafeteria. At the bottom of the stairwell, you may pick-up your sports pass if you purchased one. You must present your receipt. The last pick-up time ends at 12:30 p.m. If the line is too long, you may SKIP this step and go to Step 4-6. Sports passes can also be picked up with the Accounting Clerk at the Registrar’s Office beginning August 9, 2017. NOTE: Planners will be issued through Homeroom on the first day of classes.

Step 4: Meal Pre-Payment (Cafeteria Teacher’s Lounge) Proceed to the Cafeteria Teacher’s Lounge (left of kitchen). You may deposit money into your lunch account here. Either cash or check is accepted. You MUST have money in your account before school begins; otherwise, you will not be able to purchase lunch. We highly recommend you mail in your payment before to ensure proper credit.

Step 5: I.D./Yearbook Photos (Cafeteria Stage) Proceed to the cafeteria. Seniors: Picture-taking for I.D.’s only will be done in the cafeteria at this time. If you took a senior portrait over the summer, the I.D. should be ready for pick-up. Underclassmen: If you wish to purchase a picture packet, pick-up a form from one of the photographer’s assistants, complete it, and have it ready with your money. If you are not purchasing a packet, just stand in line immediately to have your picture taken for an I.D. card and yearbook photo (no charge).

Step 6: Parking Stickers (Cafeteria) Students purchasing parking stickers MUST have the following: 1. Proof of payment of Student Association dues (show receipt) 2. Current vehicle registration 3. Current safety check 4. Current no-fault insurance card 5. Current driver’s license 6. Application form with both student and parent signatures (available at

the main office) 7. $10.00 fee payment Failure to present any of the seven items listed above will mean denial of a parking sticker at that time. You may purchase a parking sticker when school begins. You may not park your car in the school parking lot until a sticker is obtained.

Note: Once fees are paid, steps 3-6 may be completed in any order! Go to the shortest line.
