Homecoming and welcome back!

Students are returning back to school just in time for a fun-filled week of Homecoming activities, including dress up days, noon time rallies, powder puff football game and assembly on Friday, all leading up to Saturday’s game at 2:30 pm against Kauai High at the Hanapepe Stadium.

This week’s dress up days includes:

  • Monday -- “Sam I am Monday”
  • Tuesday -- “Tim Man Tuesday”
  • Wednesday -- “Wipe Out Wednesday”
  • Friday -- “Frosted Friday” and “Powder Puff”

Second quarter is a little shorter than the others with several holidays breaking up the school weeks.  Please remind your student to stay on top of his or her assignments, including AR reading for all English classes AND Achieve3000 articles for all classes (except math).  These are school wide expectations for all students as research shows that students who read well perform better and have great success.  In reviewing student grades for quarter 1, I noticed that most students who completed their AR and Achieve articles are not only doing well in class, they’re also showing growth in their Lexile levels.  We are trying to push all of our students to reach 1185 Lexile by the time they graduate as that is the mark for being college and career ready.  Where is your student at in relationship to that mark? That’s a good conversation to have with him or her.

Our fall student athletes are winding down their seasons.  Congratulations to the girls’ air riflery team for taking the KIF title and qualifying for states!  Bowling, cross country, and air riflery compete KIF competition this week.  Girls VB have two big games this week --- they play Kauai HS at home on Tuesday and then travel to Kapaa on Friday.  They’ll need to win both to force a playoff for a state berth.  Finally, our football boys take on Kauai HS on Saturday at Hanapepe Stadium.  Please come out and support our teams!

Have a good week everyone.
