Reminder about Admit Slips & Attendance Policy:
If a student is absent in any class and returns without an Admit Slip, please send them directly to the MS office to retrieve one. The slips are to ensure that students communicate with their teachers about absence and make up work. As practiced, if a student is considered excused they will have the ability to do their makeup work. If considered otherwise, students will not have the opportunity to make up their work. After initialing an Admit slip and communicating with student about homework (signifying the teacher has acknowledged their absence and provided assignments), please help to remind the student to return the signed slip to the Office.
SAFETY FIRST
Please keep your bags/ belongings at least 36” away from fire alarm pull stations & fire extinguishers.
Picture Retakes: those of you that were absent or want to retake your school pictures, retakes will be on Thursday, Oct. 2. Please see Mrs. Ah Chong for a new packet.
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).

For students that have not already taken a test for this school year, the next test is scheduled for Wednesday, September 17 at Keku`iapoiwa (the high school learning center). 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. If you miss this opportunity, the next test will be Tuesday, November 4. The final test for the school year will be offered at the end of January 2015.
Students needing to take the test are sixth graders, seventh graders, students new to a high risk sport, and those who suffered a head injury since their last baseline test. Please contact an athletic trainer to verify if you need to take the test this year (982-0632).
