Bullying Prevention and Unity Day: October is National Bullying Prevention and Awareness Month. In support of this cause, schools across Hawaiʻi will celebrate Unity Day on Wednesday, October 16. We encourage all students and staff to wear ORANGE to promote kindness, acceptance, and aloha for everyone. (Our uniform policy is still in effect for students that do not wear an orange shirt.) Let's use this opportunity to have follow-up conversations with our children at home about the importance of being respectful and treating others with kindness. Together, we can create a more positive and inclusive learning environment for all.

Monster Mash is one week away: Get ready for a frightfully fun time at the Monster Mash! This family-friendly and free public event is on Saturday, October 19 from 4:30pm to 8:30pm. There will be food trucks, a costume contest, dunking booth, haunted house ($5 admission), kids games, a middle school dance (IDs required, $5 admission for non-ʻĪao students), and much more.

Q1 Report Cards: Teachers have until October 17 to post their Q1 grades. Report Cards will be mailed home the following week. As always, parents are encouraged to view student grades, assignments, attendance and more on Infinite Campus.  Questions and concerns may be shared directly to teachers.
