Message from the Principal

Dear Kahalu`u School Ohana:

"Mauka makai Ha`aheo o Kahalu`u," from the mountains to the sea, the PRIDE of Kahalu`u. Show your school pride by purchasing our new school shirt which honors the school's most important role in educating the children of the Kahalu`u community. They are our future.

It's so nice to see our children and families back in school. If you were able to attend the First Night Open House and/or the Kinderkamp, you met our Family Resource Teacher, Mrs. Tina Pattison. She is eagerly awaiting your response to the volunteer survey. Our goal is that each parent will participate in at least ONE school activity. Now, we know many of you do much more but we want to reach 100% of our families. Looking forward to seeing all of you at school. Please drop in to see Mrs. Pattison in the cafeteria each morning. You can enter her room through the cafeteria dining room.

Mrs. Naomi Matsuzaki

Congratulations to Mrs. Takeno!!

We are so honored that our Cafeteria Manager, Mrs. Nora Takeno was selected as the Windward District nominee for the Employee of the Year award. Her nomination is so well deserved as she has been a great educator and supporter for years. We all know that she is a special person and now everyone else will know about the great things she does for the school and the community. Her picture is posted in our gallery.

Qualified Teachers

As a parent or guardian, you have the right to know the professional qualifications of the teachers and educational assistants. This would include whether the teacher has met licensing criteria and has earned a designation as a HIghly Qualified teacher. If you would like more details or would like to receive information please feel free to contact Principal Naomi Matsuzaki at 239-3100.

Order Your School Uniform
Kula Threads
Research shows that wearing a school uniform promotes school pride and reduces student misbehavior, thereby contributing to a safer campus. Consequently, wearing the school uniform has been added to the school dress code. Our official school uniform is produced by Kula Threads and can be ordered on-line by following the link above. While supplies remain, last year's design is being offered at a discounted price.

SCHOOL PRIDE NIGHT: Join us for a night of fellowship and dinner. We will be learning about school progress and our many afterschool tutoring and support programs, many which are free to families. We will also be showcasing our ever popular Ukulele Band, where 50+ Kahaluu students dazzled Wndward Mall on August 14th Showcase of Schools event. Great big Mahalo to Kumu Aileen, Kumu Darling, Kumu Eldean, Ukulele Band Alumni and volunteers for making this possible.
