First Day of 6th Grade!!!

Aloha Class of 2019!!

We had a fabulous first day of school as all the students met their kumu, figured out how to fit everything in their lockers, navigated the campus in search of all of their classes, and met new friends!

Be on the look out for our English Course Syllabus and check your child’s planner to see what is coming up and what daily homework assignments they should be working on.

We will be reading Freak the Mighty, an endearing book about two middle school boys, each with his own unique differences and similarities, and how they forge a friendship built around trust and kindness, while overcoming individual challenges.

This blog is a great way to communicate with me.  You can also email, ulshirai@ksbe.edu, or call the school.

The middle school adventure begins….
