Aloha Nimitz ‘Ohana,

Congratulations to our boys and girls basketball teams who participated in

the Radford Complex Tournament at Radford High School on January 19-20,

2017. There were a lot of parents who came out to support our students. I

would like to acknowledge our coaches, Mr. Ryan Kam, Ms. Erin Kam, and

Mr. Todd Matsumoto for preparing the teams for this event. Thank you to

the coaches and players for doing a fine job representing Nimitz.

Starting Tuesday, February 14, 2017, the teachers will begin preparing our

3rd - 6th graders for the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) scheduled for

the month of April by administering the Interim Assessments in their

classes. The SBA will measure not only what students know but how well

they can apply their knowledge in real-world situations. If you are

interested in assisting with your child’s preparation, there is an online

practice test that can be accessed through a link on the Nimitz website or

directly to alohahsap.org/SMARTERBALANCED/students/.

On Thursday, February 9, 2017 our 4th graders will be participating in the

Hawaii State Assessment (HSA) for Science. This test is aligned to the 4th

grade science Hawaii Content and Performance Standards III (HCPSIII). It is

especially important that your child gets a good night’s sleep and a healthy

breakfast the morning of the assessment.

Finally, please join us for McTeacher’s Night coming up on Thursday,

February 16, 2017 from 4:00 – 7:00 pm at the McDonald’s located at the

Moanalua Shopping Center. Hope to see you there!

Mahalo,

Marcy Kagami

Radford Complex Basketball Tournament Students from Grades 4-6 participated in the Radford Complex Basketball Tournament on January 19 and 20. After a month of grueling practices during recess our boys and girls basketball teams were eager to play teams from the other elementary schools in the Radford Complex. Both the boys and girls basketball teams played their hearts out, hustled back and forth, maintained a good attitude, showed good sportsmanship and demonstrated teamwork in every game. The boys team had a 3-3 record and the girls team had a 4-2 record. Congratulations to both teams!
