Waiau Parent Bulletin...offer this year include after school tutoring, aquaponics, robotics, before school homework and study help, intersession tutoring, Jump Start to kindergarten

Principal’s Message Dear Waiau Families and Friends, Welcome back to a new and exciting school year. I hope you had a great summer. We ended last year on a high note with our first Waiau Fun Day. I know the momentum of excitement and energy will carry us into this new school year. As a reminder, all of our teachers will be collecting the Waiau Summer Learning Packets that your children received at the end of last school year. We know that students learn best when concepts are practiced regularly and frequently. Thank you for supporting your child and Waiau as we push each and every student to reach their full academic potential. I have great news to share. Last year we applied for a 21st Century grant and we got it. This grant will allow us to offer more learning and enrichment opportunities to our students. Some of the opportunities we will offer this year include after school tutoring, aquaponics, robotics, before school homework and study help, intersession tutoring, Jump Start to kindergarten and summer enrichment programs. We are very excited to build these programs so our students can fully benefit from them. Last year we partnered with ‘Ohana Komputer to teach technology integration classes to our students in grades 2, 3, and 4. We learned many things through implementing these classes. This year we will continue our partnership with ‘Ohana Komputer and we are adjusting the curriculum based on what we learned. We are very excited about the new curriculum and we know our students will benefit greatly from these classes. We have a change in our core math curriculum this year. We will be using the newest version of Go Math. This version is better aligned to the Common Core State Standards and the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA). It also features an advanced technology integration platform that aligns to our school-wide emphasis on using technology in every classroom. This year we will be very close to having a computer for every student to use in the classroom. We do have a computer for every student in grades 2 through 6 and we are very close to that in grade 1. Our kindergarten students have access to classroom computers and the computer lab as well. I am looking forward to this year and I know it will be filled with engagement, learning, fun and excitement. Sincerely, Troy Takazono, Principal

Please complete the Expected Absence Form and call to schedule an appointment with the Principal before going on any trips. The following are Department of Education and Waiau school attendance guidelines:

ABSENCES All students must provide a written note from a parent explaining the reason for any absence. Notes should be given to the classroom teacher.

Inform the classroom teacher in writing prior to a known absence (trip, appointment, long illness…). Use the Expected Absence Form whenever possible. Call the office before 8:30 am on the first day of an unexpected absence and provide a note to your child’s teacher upon return to school. All unreported absences will be unexcused and will generate an automated call. Homework may be requested prior to 8:30 am daily and will be ready for pick-‐up at the end of the school day.

PLEASE KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE


EMERGENCY INFORMATION

Please complete and return the attached Emergency Health Card to your child’s teacher tomorrow. notify the office immediately of any changes. It is important that we continuously have current contact numbers so that we are able to reach you during the school day.

attached is a letter explaining Waiau’s Emergency Release procedure for students. Complete the Form and return immediately to your child’s teacher.

Automated Notification System

The SchoolConnects notification system calls parents whenever a child is marked absent (unexcused) from class. If you receive an automated call, please call the school office to let us know the reason for the absence. Report all daily, unexpected absences to the office before 8:30 am to avoid a call.

The automated system is also used to deliver other messages. This includes notification of low or zero meal account balances, school emergencies and school closures.

ILLNESS AND INJURY

If your child becomes ill or injured at school, you will be notified. Since schools are not equipped to care for sick or injured children, parents must come for the child when necessary. If the injury is serious and/or we are unable to contact the parent or any of the people listed on the emergency card, 911 will be called.

PEANUT FREE SCHOOL

For the health and safety of those with allergies, Waiau has adopted a “Peanut Free” policy. Please help us create a “peanut free” environment. Check ingredients in pre-packaged products and do not send any food item to school containing peanuts or peanut products. Mahalo for your cooperation as we strive to care for all of our children.

Telephone Use

The office telephones are available for student use on an emergency basis only. Your assistance in keeping our school phones and phone lines open for school business is greatly appreciated.

Cell Phones & Electronics Cell phones and other electronic devices are contraband. We understand that cell phones are important for emergencies and convenience, but they are a distraction to learning. Cell phones must be kept off and in a bag at all times while on campus. Cell phones that are used, ring/buzz, or are visible will be confiscated. Parents may pick-up the phone from the teacher or administrator. The school is not responsible for any electronic device that is lost, damaged or stolen.

If you need to contact your child during school due to an emergency, call the school office and we will get a message to your child.

On occasion, a student may use a cell phone to make a call after school hours. The child must first ask his/her teacher or an office staff member for permission. Staff may question your child and will direct him/her to a designated area to make the call. All cell phone calls must be completed at this designated area and the phone must be put back in a bag before leaving.

Campus Work

Waiau continues to improve through various construction and facility upgrade projects. Work during the school day will be minimal to avoid the impact on student instruction. However, the work in progress does affect our campus and we will all need to be cautious.

Our staff takes precautions to ensure the safety of all students and adults on campus. Please help us by reminding your children and others who come to our campus to stay on the sidewalks and keep away from the construction area. Be especially cautious using the entrance at the top of the campus for the first few weeks of school. Mahalo.


PARKING LOT PROCEDURES

Please be cautious and courteous at all times and consider the safety of your child, yourself, and others. Mahalo for your kōkua!

1. Park in designated “VISITOR” stalls only. - No parking in STAFF stalls 7:15 am to 3:00 pm - No double parking allowed. 2. The entire curb fronting the school office and

STUDENT ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE

For student safety, please ensure the timely arrival and departure of your child(ren) to and from school. Students eating school breakfast may arrive no earlier than 7:15 am. All others may begin arriving at 7:30 am.

When students arrive at school, they should walk directly to the classroom or cafeteria. They should sit and wait for their teacher if the classroom is not yet open. Running around or playing on campus before and after school is not allowed. Teachers who arrive early do so to prepare for the school day and are not available to supervise students.

All students should be off campus within 20 minutes of the end of the school day or a school sponsored activity. A+ students should report promptly to the cafe when dismissed from class. Do not allow your child(ren) to wait at the City & County Waiau Neighborhood Park unsupervised.

Please make sure you have prearranged instruction for after-school pick-up. Students should not be asking to use the office phones on a daily basis.

TRAFFIC & PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

To ensure the safety of those crossing in the crosswalks, the following will be enforced. RIGHT TURNS ONLY FROM PARKING LOT EXIT: 7:00-8:30 am 1:00-3:00 pm

Remind all child(ren) and adults walking to and from school to cross at the crosswalk.

Mrs. Yoza, our adult traffic monitor, will support our students in being safe on the roads. JPOs will support and monitor student safety on campus. Please help us by following all traffic rules, setting a good example, and teaching your children to obey the crossing guards and JPOs.

ADULTS ON CAMPUS

Parents are encouraged to volunteer. Please contact your child’s teacher or Ms. Geri Villegas, PCNC, in the office for more information. We ask that parents please do not hang around the classrooms after the school day has started or come more than a few minutes early at the end of the day. Anyone hanging out outside of classroom doors can be a distraction to student learning.

In order to provide a safe campus, ALL visitors and volunteers must report to the office during school hours. Parents dropping off items for a student should do so at the office. Items will be delivered or the student will be summoned when appropriate.

Unauthorized adults or non-Waiau students on campus will be directed to the office or asked to leave campus. Please report all suspicious or suspected incidents of strangers on campus, graffiti, threats, etc. to the office immediately.

LUNCH with milk.......... $ 2.50 MILK only...................... $ .60 Reduced lunch ............... $ .40 SECOND LUNCH …… $ 5.50

The school lunch program is subsidized by Federal and State governments. “USDA is an equal oppor-tunity provider & employer.” Meals meet the dietary requirements of growing children. We encourage all children to buy school lunch.

All students will go through the lunch line and select at least three items that they wish to eat. This allows students to be in control over their meals and helps avoid allergic reactions and waste.

A complete lunch offered by the DOE includes: 1. Meat/Meat Alternative 2. Fruit/Vegetable 3. Vegetable/Fruit 4. Grains and Bread 5. Milk

and possibly a dessert item

Students are encouraged to eat a balanced meal but it is up to the child to make those choices. Consider reviewing the lunch menu together so that your child knows what choices to make. If you know that your child will not eat at least 3 items on any given day, consider sending him/her with a healthy home lunch instead.

Children are not allowed to bring snacks or drinks into the cafeteria during lunch unless it is a part of a complete home lunch. Caffeinated and carbonated drinks are not allowed. NO PEANUT PRODUCTS.

OPTIONAL BREAKFAST PROGRAM

Breakfast is offered to students and staff only, 7:15-7:40am. Students will not be excused for any tardies to class due to eating breakfast. Breakfast must be consumed in the cafeteria. Parents may not purchase breakfast for siblings and other family members. The cafeteria is open only to students eating breakfast. Students should not loiter in the cafe. BREAKFAST...................….$ 1.10 Reduced breakfast………….$ .30 SECOND BREAKFAST…... $ 2.40

Meal Accounts

All students must have credit in a meal account prior to taking a school lunch or breakfast. No money is accepted in the cafeteria line. Payments should be made by the first of the month to maintain a balance. Notifications of low and zero balance will be made through the automated phone system.

A locked dropbox is available for cash or check payments (payable to “DOE”) in a LABELED ENVELOPE. Envelopes (available in the office) must have the following information: Legal/English Name of Child: _______________ Date of Deposit: _____________ Gr./Rm. No. ________ Amount Enclosed: __________ Cash/Check No. _____

Receipts will be sent home with your child the next school day.

If your child does not have a balance in his/her meal account, please send your child with a home lunch OR he/she will be asked to call a parent for a deposit for a meal that day. If a deposit is not made by the start of your child’s lunch period, he/she may not receive a complete meal that day.

FREE/REDUCED MEAL BENEFITS

Applications must be submitted and approved yearly. Follow instructions and submit the form to the office or on-line at http://ezmealapp.com. Applications will be reviewed and submitted to the School Food Services Branch for determination. Applications may take several weeks to process. On-line response time is quicker. A notification letter will be sent home upon determination.

Students receiving meal benefits last school year will continue their status for up to 30 days or until a new status is determined. If you have a child new to the DOE or Waiau School who you believe is entitled to carry over benefits, please contact us immediately. If you received a meal benefit notification from another agency (DOH, DHS…), please submit a copy of your letter to the office.

Meal benefits help both families and the school by determining a school’s Title I status. In the past, we were able to provide tutoring and materials through Title I. This year, Waiau is not a Title I school. We highly encourage all families to submit an application through Waiau. Please call the office if you need assistance.


Dress Code

Children should wear clothing, footwear, hairstyles and jewelry/accessories appropriate for school. Short shorts/skirts, crop tops, halters, tube-tops, spaghetti straps, and cut up shirts and pants are NOT acceptable. Underwear should not be visible.

Anything promoting or acknowledging violence, inappropriate activities/language or illegal substances are NOT allowed. Hats and sunglasses cannot be worn indoors.

Footwear is mandatory: footwear that may cause accidents should NOT be worn to school (wheels, high heels…). Covered athletic type shoes are required on all field trips and for participation in P.E.

Students dressed inappropriately may be asked to change and disciplinary action may be taken.

CARE FOR

SCHOOL MATERIALS

All literature materials are shared. Textbooks and other resources are

costly and the school invests a large amount to ensure adequate materials for our students. Let’s teach our children to treat books and all other school property with care.

All textbooks should be covered. Any damage should be reported immediately to the classroom teacher or to the librarian so that necessary repairs can be made.

Waiau complies with DOE rules and state law on collecting replacement costs for lost or damaged items. We will charge a student the original cost of any school materials that have been lost or damaged.

Lost Book Refund Policy A refund may be requested if the lost book is found and is returned in good condition. Original receipt is required. Refunds will be made only for books lost and returned within the current school year.

Bounced Check Fee

The Department of Education and Waiau Elementary will collect a $25.00 service charge for any dishonored check.

Parent-Community Network

Ms. Geri Villegas, our PCNC, builds relationships with our Waiau families through the coordination of volunteers and family projects. She serves as a liaison for both our PTA and School Community Council groups as well. Please stop by to share your ideas or volunteer to support our school. When you are available to volunteer, please follow these procedures: • Make prior arrangements with the PCNC or classroom teacher. • Sign in at the office before going to the room. • Wear the visitor tag while on campus.

We look forward to meeting you. A parent volunteer sign-up sheet and PTA membership forms will be sent home shortly.

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

Use the attached form to collect your box tops. Additional forms are available in the school office. Completed Box Tops coupon forms can be submitted at any time to Ms. Geri Villegas, PCNC, at our school office. Mahalo for supporting our school through this program!

STUDENT SERVICE

DOE policy states that students shall assist in the office, library, cafeteria and classroom during the school year. 4th–6th grade students learn courtesy, neatness, service and responsibility. These are important traits that fulfill the General Learner Outcomes and Waiau School Core Values.

If your child is unable to participate because of a physical reason, please submit a signed note from your physician stating the reason.

Request for Copies

The Department of Education has set the cost of copies of records at $.25 per page. Waiau Elementary will charge for requests made for duplicate copies of student records.

Requests should be made in writing at the school office and paid for at that time. Copies will be ready for pick-‐up or can be sent home with your child within ten (10) business days upon receiving your request.

CLASS SIZE

Due to student transfers and late enrollment, we begin each school year uncertain of the number of students who will actually attend Waiau. This greatly affects the number of faculty and staff members. We may experience a loss or gain of staff, which will necessitate a change in class groupings. You will be informed in late August if your child is affected by this change.
