4th Quarter Guiding Value: This quarter, our school focus is on the value Kūlia i ka nuʻu—to strive for the summit, seeking excellence and quality in all that we do. This mindset embodies the spirit of our students and staff as we work together to finish the school year strong.

4th Quarter Preview: The final quarter of the year is always a busy and exciting time at ʻĪao School! As we head into the home stretch, we want to highlight several key focus areas and upcoming events:

• Behavior Contracts: For our end-of-the-year reward activities—including the 8th Grade Banquet—students are currently on grade-level specific behavior contracts. Participation requires meeting these expectations.

• Academic Milestones: This quarter brings State Testing across all grade levels. We encourage our students to stay focused and do their best.

• Special Events & Transitions: We have a full calendar ahead, including 6th Grade Hōʻike, Spring Showcase, and Transition Activities for students moving to high school or the next grade level.

No School on Prince Kūhiō Day: There will be no school on Thursday, March 26, in observance of Prince Kūhiō Day. 

Eat Chili Rice & Share Your Input:  Each year, we develop an Academic Plan specifically designed to meet the needs of our students. An essential part of this process is hearing from you! We invite all families and community members to join us on Wednesday, March 25, at 5:30 PM in the ʻĪao School Cafeteria for the Spring Community Meeting. This is a great opportunity to learn about our goals, share your thoughts on the plan, and discuss anything else related to ʻĪao School. Chili rice and refreshments will be served. Please RSVP using the link HERE. We look forward to seeing you!
