Letter from Superintendent Hayashi: Please read this letter from DOE Superintendent Keith Hayashi regarding updates about schools and Covid.
Covid Safety at ʻĪao School: Here at ʻĪao we are continuing to follow strict guidelines set by the DOE to minimize Covid exposure and transmission. This takes the cooperation and commitment of the entire school community and we thank you for your partnership in these efforts. Mask wearing continues to be a requirement for all students, staff, and visitors on campus. Students that refuse to wear masks will be sent home as well as students that demonstrate Covid symptoms while at school. The DOE is currently revising the return to school protocol for students that test positive or are determined to be close contacts. New information will be shared with families as soon as it is received.
School Readiness: Please remind your child that Uniforms, Student IDs and on-time arrival to school are required for Student Readiness each day. Students that forget Uniforms or IDs may come to the Main Office before 7:45 AM to borrow a Uniform and/or be issued a temporary ID without consequence. Readiness violations after 7:45 AM may lead to disciplinary action such as lunch detention. Thank you for your efforts in making sure your child is ready and on-time to school each day.
Second Semester Rotating Schedule: Please view this link to see the rotating schedule of classes for 2nd Semester. Holidays and other days with no school are included on this schedule.
State law requires all students to receive a physical exam and immunizations before starting seventh grade
What you need to do:
• Call your child’s healthcare provider now to schedule an appointment for a physical exam, as part of a well-child visit
• Bring the attached Student’s Health Record (Form 14) (link) to the appointment. During the visit, the healthcare provider will:
Conduct the physical exam and administer immunizations;
Answer your and your child’s questions about health and wellness; and
Complete the Form 14
• Submit the completed Form 14 to the school your child will attend for seventh grade
The physical exam must be completed within 12 months before starting seventh grade. Students
without the required immunizations by the first day of seventh grade risk being excluded from
school. Let the school know if you need more time to schedule your child’s appointment.
