Aloha Ali‘iolani ‘Ohana,

 

Last week, we had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate our incredible teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week! We were so touched by the outpouring of support from our amazing school community. Your thoughtful cards, delicious treats, and heartfelt messages truly brightened their week and served as a powerful reminder of the impact our teachers have on our children's lives.

​

From guiding young minds to fostering a love of learning, our teachers dedicate themselves tirelessly to the success and well-being of each student. Your participation in Teacher Appreciation Week helped us to show them just how much we value their hard work, passion, and commitment. Mahalo nui loa for helping us make it a truly special week for them!

​

Now, get ready to keep the positive energy going because this week is Spirit Week! We have some fun and exciting themes planned to bring our school community together and show our school pride.

​

Monday: Rainbow Day: Wear the colors of the rainbow and let's draw on the sidewalk during recess.

Tuesday: Minion Day: Dress like a minion and get ready for some minion trivia.

Wednesday: Wacky Wednesday: Let's get wacky with some wacky clothes and hair. We'll do a wacky fashion show during lunch.

Thursday: Disney Day: Wear anything Disney and we will have some Disney trivia during lunch.

Friday: Makahiki Day: Makahiki is often compared to the Hawaiian version of the Olympics. Come dressed for some friendly sports competition and participate in our Makahiki games.

​

We encourage all students to participate and have some fun showing their school spirit! It's a fantastic way to build community and create lasting memories.

​

Thank you again for your continued support. We look forward to a spirited week ahead!​

Ali‘iolani After-School Pick-Up: Let's Work Together!

We're so happy your child participates in our after-school activities! To make sure everyone has a safe and smooth end to their day, we've put together a few friendly reminders about pick-up.

1. Pick-Up Time Matters: We know life gets busy, but please try your best to pick up your child right when their activity ends. Late pick-ups disrupt school operations and cause concern for students and staff. This helps us keep everyone safe and lets our staff get home too!
    

2. Keeping in Touch: If your child isn't picked up on time, we'll give you a call or send a text to check in. If we can't reach you, we'll call your emergency contacts. Don't worry, we'll keep your child safe and sound until you arrive. If we can't reach anyone for a longer period of time, we may need to contact the authorities, just to be extra careful.
    

3. A Little Reminder System: We understand that things happen. If you're late, we'll have a friendly chat to remind you about our pick-up times. If it happens again, we'll schedule a quick meeting to talk about how we can help. And if it happens a third time, we might need to take a little break from the activity for a while.

   • First Incident: Verbal warning and policy reminder.

   • Second Incident: Written warning and parent/guardian meeting.

   • Third Incident: Suspension from the activity.

   • ​

Please make sure we have your most up-to-date contact information, and if you know you'll be late, just give us a call! We're all in this together to make sure your child has a wonderful and safe time at school. Mahalo for your cooperation.​​​​​​​​​​​​

Principal's Message

 

Aloha Ali‘iolani ‘Ohana,

 

This week from May 5th through May 9th, we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week, a time to recognize the incredible dedication and hard work of our teachers. They are more than instructors; they serve as mentors, guides, and role models, shaping young minds and empowering future leaders within engaging learning environments. Their unwavering support and commitment ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive, extending their positive impact far beyond the classroom.

​

We encourage all students and parents to express your sincere appreciation to our wonderful teachers next week. A simple "thank you," a heartfelt note, or a small gesture of gratitude can deeply resonate with these dedicated individuals. Your acknowledgement of their tireless efforts makes a significant difference.

​

The school will also be providing our teachers with special gifts and treats throughout the week. Thank you, teachers, for your unwavering commitment to our students! 

​

Mahalo for all that you do!

Aloha Ali‘iolani ‘Ohana,

 

We wanted to extend a big MAHALO to each and every one of you for making our first-ever Earth Day event last week such a resounding success! It was truly inspiring to see our school community come together to celebrate our planet and learn more about how we can all make a difference.

​

A special shout-out goes to our amazing student council members and their fellow classmates for their enthusiasm and participation in all the activities. And thank you so much for your incredible generosity in bringing in your old crayons for our recycling drive. Your colorful contributions will soon be melted down and transformed into new crayons for children in hospitals, bringing a little bit of joy and creativity to their day. We were so touched by your aloha and care for others.

​

As we look ahead, we have just five more weeks of school remaining. Let's make the most of this time together! We encourage all students to continue putting their best foot forward in their studies.

​

Mahalo for your continued support!

We wanted to extend a warm and sincere mahalo to each and every one of you who joined us for our Easter event last week! It was truly heartwarming to see so many families come together to enjoy the fun, laughter, and community spirit.

​

We also want to give a special shout-out to the incredible Friends of Ali‘iolani! Your dedication, hard work, and thoughtful coordination made this event possible. From the egg hunt to the crafts and treats, your efforts created a truly memorable experience for our children. We are so grateful for your ongoing support and commitment to our school community.

​

Finally, a big thank you to our amazing teachers and staff. Your willingness to lend a hand and bring smiles to our students' faces is deeply appreciated. Your support is invaluable in making our school events so special.

 

Looking ahead, we're excited to celebrate Earth Day this Tuesday, 4/22 with an activity sponsored by our wonderful Student Council! This Tuesday, please consider donating any unused crayons to the school. You can drop them off at Room A101. The Student Council will be collecting these crayons to be recycled and given to children in hospitals across the country, providing them with a little bit of color and joy during their stay.

It's moments like these – both celebrating together and caring for our world – that truly highlight the strong and caring community we have here at Ali‘iolani.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our Junior Police Officer (JPO) students achieved a high score of 100 points for their participation in the annual JPO state competition held at Corps Field! This outstanding accomplishment is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and the excellent guidance they have received.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our wonderful counselor, Mrs. Ah Yat, for her tireless efforts in training and supervising our JPOs throughout the entire year. Her commitment and support have been instrumental in their success.

​

We also want to express our sincere appreciation to Mrs. Yokoyama and our amazing Kindergarten and 4th-grade teachers for organizing such a successful and engaging STEM Day event last week. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to explore the exciting world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics!

Finally, a big mahalo to all the parents, staff, and students who generously volunteered their time at our E-waste recycling event this past Saturday. Your commitment to our school and the environment is truly commendable. We also want to thank the Lion's Club for their invaluable coordination of this important event.

1. Pick-Up Time Matters: We know life gets busy, but please try your best to pick up your child right when their activity ends. Late pick-ups disrupt school operations and cause concern for students and staff. This helps us keep everyone safe and lets our staff get home too!
    

2. Keeping in Touch: If your child isn't picked up on time, we'll give you a call or send a text to check in. If we can't reach you, we'll call your emergency contacts. Don't worry, we'll keep your child safe and sound until you arrive. If we can't reach anyone for a longer period of time, we may need to contact the authorities, just to be extra careful.
    

3. A Little Reminder System: We understand that things happen. If you're late, we'll have a friendly chat to remind you about our pick-up times. If it happens again, we'll schedule a quick meeting to talk about how we can help. And if it happens a third time, we might need to take a little break from the activity for a while.

   • First Incident: Verbal warning and policy reminder.

   • Second Incident: Written warning and parent/guardian meeting.

   • Third Incident: Suspension from the activity.

   • ​

Please make sure we have your most up-to-date contact information, and if you know you'll be late, just give us a call! We're all in this together to make sure your child has a wonderful and safe time at school. Mahalo for your cooperation.​​​​​​​​​​​​

Aloha Ali‘iolani ‘Ohana,

 

We want to begin by expressing our sincere gratitude to each and every one of you – our amazing parents, fantastic students, and dedicated staff – for making our Family Reading Night this past Friday such a resounding success! It was truly heartwarming to see so many families engaged in the joy of reading together. Your participation and support in fostering a love of literacy in our children is truly inspiring. Thank you so much!

 

We also have some incredibly exciting news to share! Yesterday, at a special luncheon with the Governor of Hawaii, two of our very own teachers, Mrs. Kamau and Mrs. Gong, were awarded their prestigious National Board Certificates. This is a tremendous accomplishment, representing years of dedication, rigorous study, and a commitment to excellence in teaching. We are immensely proud of Mrs. Kamau and Mrs. Gong for their hard work and dedication to our students. Please join us in congratulating them on this well-deserved achievement!

 

Looking ahead, we have another exciting event planned for our youngest learners. This Friday, 3/7 our first and second-grade students will be participating in a fun-filled STEM Day! They will have the opportunity to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on activities and engaging experiments. We extend a huge mahalo to Mrs. Yokoyama for her hard work in coordinating this fantastic learning experience. We know our students will have a wonderful time!

​

We are so fortunate to have such a supportive and engaged school community. Thank you for your continued partnership in ensuring the success of our students.

Career Day, April 2, 2025

 

Aloha Ali'iolani Parents and Families!

 

We are very excited for our upcoming Career Day.  This year, Career Day will be on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.  As we begin planning for this school-wide event, we need help gathering information on possible speakers.  This year, our students are interested to hear from adults who have careers in the military, sports, law, music, art, construction and even the culinary field (But, not limited to these fields).  If you are interested in presenting during our Career Day, please complete the parent interest form.  If you have any connections and/or contacts that might be of value, please feel free to include it on this form too.  Our goal is to provide our students a full day of learning about as many careers as they can.  With that being said, please wait for a confirmation from us as we may get duplicate careers submitted. As always, we thank you for your continuous support of our Ali'iolani students. 

 

Mahalo,

Aloha Parents and Guardians,

​

Picture Taking Day is today, Monday, 9/16. Please ensure your child comes to school in their best attire for the photo shoot. All students will have their pictures taken during the school day.

Additionally, we kindly ask that you return your child's Federal Survey card to your teacher as soon as possible. This information is vital for our school's federal reporting and planning.

 

Finally, we highly encourage you to apply for the free and reduced-price lunch program by 9/17. By applying, you are not only helping your child but also supporting our school. Applying for free or reduced-price lunch helps our school qualify for Title I federal funding, which provides additional resources to support all of our students' academic success.

Aloha Parents,

 

I hope you are enjoying your 3-day weekend with loved ones!

 

We wanted to express our sincere gratitude for your understanding as we held our professional development training on August 26th. Your support allows us to continue enhancing our teaching practices for the benefit of all our students.

 

Last week, our Kaimuki Complex schools came together to learn about Teacher Clarity. This powerful approach will equip our teachers to:

• Clearly Communicating Learning Intentions: Students will always know what they are learning and why it's important.

• Providing Success Criteria: Students will understand when they have achieved the learning intention (objective).

• Creating a Positive and Supportive Classroom Environment: Students will feel confident and motivated to learn.

 

Ali'iolani is dedicated to implementing Teacher Clarity to provide our students with the best possible learning experience. We believe this approach will empower our students to take ownership of their learning and reach their full potential.

 

Mahalo for your continued support!
