Prince Kūhiō Day: In observance of Kūhiō Day there is no school on Wednesday March 26. School resumes on Thursday.
ʻĪao School Community Meeting: Each year we use school data and stakeholder input to determine our students' greatest learning needs and to develop an Academic Plan to address these needs the following year. This process includes an opportunity for families and community members to meet with our School Community Council to learn about the proposed Academic Plan and to offer important feedback. This meeting will take place Thursday March 27, at 5:30PM in the ʻĪao School Library (enter through Main Office). All families and community members are invited to attend and share their thoughts on this plan and anything else pertaining to ʻĪao School. We hope to see you then. If you are unable to attend you can still provide your input by visiting this LINK.
Community Meeting re School Attendance Boundaries: Attendance boundaries assign students to specific schools based on their home address. To balance student enrollment among schools in Central Maui, plans have been developed to adjust these attendance boundaries starting next school year. As a result, your child's assigned high school may change starting fall 2025.
Please click this link to read a letter with information about the specific boundary changes being planned. Answers to FAQs about the changes can be found here. Parents are encouraged to ask questions and voice concerns via a form linked to the letter and/or attending a community meeting tomorrow March 25 at 5:30pm in the Baldwin High School Auditorium.
Request for Volunteers: ʻĪao School and Grow Some Good are seeking volunteers for a community workday this Sunday March 30 from 8am to 12pm. We are clearing indoor and outdoor growing spaces to prepare for an Agriculture class in 2025-26. Sign up HERE.
WASC Report: WASC, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, is an accrediting body that ensures schools maintain high standards of educational quality. We're pleased to share that the WASC visiting committee has completed their evaluation of ʻĪao School. Their report affirms many of our school's strengths and provides valuable feedback for continued growth, all aimed at enhancing our students' learning experience. Parents are encouraged to read the WASC Visiting Committee Report HERE.
