No School Tomorrow: Tomorrow, Friday 4/18, is Good Friday. Everyone please have a safe and restful 3-day weekend.

Summer School Preview: ʻĪao will be offering a variety of free programs this June for current 5th, 6th and 7th grade students. Information about the programs and how to sign-up will be shared in the coming weeks. Reminder: All students that fail a core subject (Science, Math, Social Studies and English) for the school year will be enrolled in Summer Credit Recovery and may not attend any of the other summer programs. 8th graders interested in Baldwin High Summer School can learn more and find the application HERE.

State Testing Information: Each year students at ʻĪao School take state assessments in ELA (Reading/Writing) and Mathematics. In addition, all 8th graders take a state Science assessment and our Algebra students take an end-of-course state exam. For the school, test results inform our improvement efforts. For students, scores on these state assessments are used to determine their eligibility for Honors or placement into academic support programs the following year. 

Testing takes place the next four weeks in ELA, Math and Science classes. Our daily bell schedule and lessons in non-testing classes will proceed as normal. Our students are expected to preserve an environment conducive to testing and disruptions will not be tolerated. Please encourage your child to get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and do their very best throughout the testing period. Questions may be directed to our Testing Coordinator Mady Kaya at mandy.kaya@k12.hi.us. 

Seeking Support for Teacher Appreciation: May 5-9 is Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week here at ʻĪao School. We like to provide breakfast, treats and prizes to celebrate all they do for students and the community.
