Identification Cards
Just a reminder that students are required to display their ID cards at all times while oncampus and on school-sponsored field trips, unless directed otherwise. IDs should be displayed in one of four places:
- Left collar
- Right collar
- Button front
- On an appropriate lanyard
On upload days (DAY 1) when students wear their ‘Oi Kelakela shirts, IDs may be kept in pants/short pockets. Students should promptly and courteously present their cardswhen asked to do so by a staff member.
If an ID card is lost, stolen, or needs to be replaced, a new one, along with an IDpouch and may be obtained for a $10.00 charge at the school office. Any ID cardthat is defaced or changed in any way must be replaced. A temporary ID will be provided to the student until a replacement ID is created. Students are required to wear the temporary ID until the replacement ID is issued. If the missing card is found, students should present both the lost and replacement cards and $1.00 to the officestaff. The replacement card will be collected and a credit for $10 will be processed. The deadline to return extra ID cards to receive a credit is the last day of the schoolyear. Students should have only one ID card in their possession, students found to have more than one ID card will face disciplinary action.
Naming of Virtual Point Game
We are still seeking suggestions for this year’s advisory/grade level challenge that describes the continual adding of Spirit Points and the subtraction of points for infractions. Get creative and think of a great name for our Kula Waena’s game! Entries can be submitted for the rest of this week (advisors can turn in their suggestions too) … doing so will earn Spirit Points for your advisory and grade level!
Advisory Name and Artwork
Congratulations to the advisories who earned either 250 pts or 200 pts for turning in their name/artwork over the past two weeks! If your advisory hasn’t done so yet, you still can do so this week and earn 150 pts (75 pts for the name and 75 pts for the artwork).

Check-in for middle school students is at 2:30pm. Tests will be conducted in groups of 20. The test is first come, first served. The last group will begin no later than 6:00pm.
