Early Release Day - September 17, 2008
Aloha e Nā `Ohana,
The master calendar for the 2008-2009 school year has one new feature, Early Release Days. The first of four is scheduled for Wednesday, September 17th. We shared with you at Open Houses that the dismissal time would be at 1:00 p.m. There has been a change to that time to align with dismissal times at the middle and high school. The new dismissal time is 12:30 p.m. Please note that all students will be served lunch prior to the 12:30 p.m. dismissal.
The following is a schedule for pick up and shuttles to the terminal and rural areas:
12:35-12:55 p.m.: Grades K-2: Nahi`ena`ena Island Car Pick up
Grades 3-6: Kamāmalu Lower Car Pick up
12:35 p.m.: Terminal Shuttle (Students not picked up by 1:00 p.m. will be brought back to the KES Office. You will be contacted upon their return.)
12:45 p.m.: Early Bus Shuttles: (Kailua, Kaneohe, Enchanted Lakes, Waimanalo, Maunawili & Pearl City/Aiea)
12:55 p.m.: Late Bus Shuttles: (All other rural service areas)
Swim shuttle: No Swim Shuttle
Swim Club will begin at 3:00 p.m. but students are NOT ALLOWED to stay on campus between dismissal and swim club practice. You will need to make arrangements for their transportation home and then return to campus for Swim Club or enroll in Kama`āina Kids (limited space available).
The elementary school will be the first pick up site for buses, which will then proceed to middle school and high school before leaving campus. Please be at your child’s bus pick up location no later than 45 minutes after the KES departure time.
In addition, Kama`āina Kids will provide services to those students who are currently enrolled on a regular basis. They will also offer up to 25 spaces for those students who are not enrolled in their program on a first come, first serve basis. Applications are attached and should be submitted to the office as soon as possible. Once the program is full, we will place additional families on the waiting list. The cost for all students registered for Kama`äina Kids service on Early Release days will be $10.00, due and payable prior to September 17th.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at 842-8383.
Mahalo,
