Hello everyone,
Graduation was awesome last
Friday; the weather was beautiful and the company was great. Our guest speaker, US Senator Brian Schatz
gave an inspirational message to our seniors, outlining his six key pieces of
advice and our seven valedictorians gave theirs as they spelled out WAIMEA. Other guests on stage included Board of
Education Kauai representative, Nancy Budd, State Senate President, Ron Kouchi
(a 1975 WHS graduate), and State Representative (and Waimea resident), Dee
Morikawa. The ceremony was streamed live
on HawaiiStream so if you missed it, catch it online.
It was a great year… we are
starting to get some of our end of course and preliminary SBAC math data. I’ll post those results on our school website
and also on this blog within the next week.
We’re gearing up for our summer programs – credit recovery and a summer
bridge program for incoming 9th graders. We’re also undergoing several renovation
projects on school; custodians will be busy with those projects as well as the
numerous classroom changes needed for next school year.
As mentioned last week’s blog, we
have created a one-credit, reading and writing support course for this coming
school year. Students were selected for
this class based upon their test scores, reading lexile scores, and teacher
recommendation; this class will help
students to succeed in all classes with the reading and writing skills that
will be taught. Letters were sent home
to parents advising them of this schedule change for their students and if they
have any questions or concerns, to call the office.
Next year we will also continue to push for deeper learning, leveraged
through the use of technology and data to inform all of our decision for
students, staff, and our school. We will
have more mobile labs out in classrooms next year, especially in our core
classes.
Have a fun, safe, and restful summer everyone. Please remind your student to continue to
read over the summer to keep in ‘school shape!’
Here’s your announcements; have a good week everyone.
