We have a lot of cool things to celebrate that Waimea HS,
students, and staff was recognized for recently:
·
We started our Ho’okipa program that is
putting students out into the local business community, gaining valuable work
experience, skills, and a paycheck (!) before graduation
·
Mr. Nishihira’s Vid/Roc students were
visited by Waimea alum, Senator Ron Kouchi, last Friday. Students shared their project, rockets, and
goals with the Senator… and got a few pictures in too
·
Algebra 1 teacher and owner of Jojo’s
Shave Ice, Mrs. Joanne Acoba, received the Kauai and State Employer of the Year
award from the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation!! Congratulations Jojo!!
·
Waimea HS was recognized by the
Department of Education this week for our graduation rate and improvement in 11th
grade ACT scores
Check out our school’s official Facebook page at https://www.Facebook.com/thewaimeahighschool
so you can read more about each of these things and see some
pictures too.
I need to let everyone know that we will no longer be
extending lunch loans to students who do not have enough money in their
accounts to purchase meals. Please be
sure to monitor your child’s account and keep enough money in there so he/she
can eat in the cafeteria as we will not allow students to take a plate if
there’s not enough money in the account to cover the cost. For your reference, lunch costs $2.50 for
students who pay full price, $0.40 for those on reduced. Students can come to the office during
non-instructional time to put money into their accounts; please allow one day
processing time. This has been the WHS
policy for several years and it’s noted in the student planner. We lifted it temporarily this at the beginning
of this year as there were changes in how the state transferred over accounts
from one school to another (i.e. middle to high school). However, beginning this week we will not
serve a student if there’s not enough money in their account. Thank you.
Have a good week everyone.
