PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE:

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We have just completed our third quarter and your child’s third quarter report card will be sent home on

Wednesday, April 10. If you have any questions, please feel free to call your child’s teacher.

Our WASC Accreditation visit was on April 4-7. Initial feedback from the visiting team was very positive

and we are expecting to be fully accredited in May 2019. As soon as we get our final results, we will share

them with you.

We will be administering the Hawaii State Assessment (Smarter Balanced Assessment) SBA from April 22

to May 3. The assessment will be given to all students in grades third to sixth. Please make sure your child

is ready for the test by going to bed early and having a good breakfast before coming to school.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Duwayne F. Abe

Principal

SAFETY AND HEALTH CONCERNS: SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE

Definition: A website that enables users to create public profiles and form relationships with

other users within the same website.

Federal Law: Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Gives parents control over what information is collected online from their children

under the age of 13 and how the information may be used.

Provides parents access to their child’s personal information and an opportunity to

delete the child’s personal information and opt-out of future collection or use of the information.

FACTS:

80% of online teens are users of social media sites.

88% of social media-using teens have witnessed other people be mean or cruel on social network sites.

Protecting Your Child on Social Media

Talk to your child about how to use social network sites and apps safely.

Talk to your child about what they post online because it can impact their future, e.g. getting kicked off sports

team, losing scholarships, etc...

Check out what your child is posting. Delete personal information and content you think is too much

information.

Know how your child is accessing social media apps. Review social media and apps settings to help them

keep information private.

Know who your child is talking to online.

Know the account settings for sites and apps your child uses.

Know who has access to your child’s information, i.e. “followers,” friends list, ads, etc…

Let your child know to talk to you if something online makes them feel uncomfortable.

For more information, go to: ag.hawaii.gov/cpja/ccp/

STUDENT DROP OFF AND PICK UP

For the safety of our students, student loading and unloading shall be at curbside. DO NOT have your child walk

between cars stopped at the curb or walk from the far lane through the cones between unloading cars! In order to

ensure smooth and efficient pick-up/drop-off procedure, please do not park and leave your car unattended. If you

wish to park and go to your child’s classroom or the office, please use street parking. Your cooperation is greatly

appreciated.

PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT

For safety reasons, students are not allowed on the playground equipment after school unsupervised. There have been

accidents because of inappropriate play on the equipment. Thank you.

CLASSROOM INTERRUPTIONS

Please DO NOT disturb or enter your child’s classroom during school hours. All

visitors MUST make prior arrangements with the school and report to the office

first to obtain a visitor’s badge. If meeting your child afterschool, kindly wait on

our mall area and do not enter hallways or lower levels of classrooms. Our

children have the right to be safe in their school, including while using the

restroom. Stranger Danger!! Please do not use children’s restrooms. You may

use restrooms in the front office or cafeteria.

KEEP OUR SCHOOL STORM DRAINS CLEAN

Student Council News - MARCH

Student Council News

Last month, our school participated in a Moanalua Complex activity sponsored by the Moanalua Middle

School Student Government. Some of our 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students wrote letters to the seniors at the

high school to encourage them to make good choices and be safe at their Senior Prom.

Thank you for your participation in the “Pennies for Patients” activity. We donated $2928.99 to the

“Leukemia and Lymphoma Society”. Congratulations to Mr. Furumoto’s class for having the most donations. They

will receive a pizza party at the end of the school year.

Our Student Council Elections Campaign Rally was on Wednesday, April 10 in the cafeteria from 8:30-

9:30 a.m. Students in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade listened to our candidate’s speeches and voted for their

Student Council officers for next year. The candidates are:

President – Allen Kim, Caytlen Oishi-Gascon, Kyle Shin, and Amaya Villoso

There was an Easter egg hunt and other activities.

April 17 is Earth Day and 4th, 5th, and 6th grade volunteers will clean up their recess area and the Salt

Lake District Park. The Student Council members will also be collecting dried out colored markers to send back

to the Crayola company for recycling. The markers will be mailed to the company on April 19.

April 17 is also Student Appreciation Day. Students will have “Free Dress Day”; they don’t need to wear

the school shirt, but please adhere to the school dress code. The committee is planning a short activity during

the four lunch periods and all students will receive a small snack.

Office Appreciation Day is on April 24 and Teacher Appreciation Day is on May 8. Our committees are

planning luncheons to show our appreciation to our office staff and our teachers.

On May 21, we will have a luncheon for the adult volunteers to thank them for their service to our

school. This will be followed by a luncheon to honor the class that had the most civic responsibility points, which

is Mrs. Teshima’s class.

Spring Testing is Here!

April 23 through May 3

For grades 3, 4, 5 and 6, the Hawaii State / Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) will begin at the end of April. Parent Information Booklets will be sent home shortly before testing starts. The SBA consists of FOUR online tests, two ELA and two Math. It’s important that all students are present at school for ALL FOUR parts.

How can you help your child during testing time? Here are some ideas: Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep – try for 8 hours – the night before. Also make sure your child eats a good breakfast the morning of the test. Avoid sugary things. Please come to school on time. We want to have a nice calm start the morning of the test! Encourage your child to do his or her very best! Remember... Persist! Keep trying!

More information will be put up on the school website: http://www.saltlakeeshawaii.org

Practice tests can be found at: http://sbac.portal.airast.org/practice-test

If you have any questions regarding testing, please contact Laura Willcox or Tyron Kitashima.

Counselor’s Corner: In quarter 3, Mr. Kitashima and Ms. Willcox have been going into all classrooms to

teach Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). Students have been introduced to the

SEL core competencies and have learned to practice calming strategies for focus

as well as positive problem solving.
