Ka Malu o Kaimana Hila

Once again, with the support of the entire Waikiki School Community, our Winter Store was an absolute success! Mahalo to our volunteer sorters, pricers, gift wrappers, restockers, floor sweepers, rubbish can emptiers, cashiers, and individuals who helped with the final clean-up. Thank you to everyone who made gift, supply and monetary donations. Your generosity is greatly appreciated! Special thanks go out to A+ director Tammie Kaleikini for her flexibility with the use of the cafeteria, Ms. T for coming out of retirement, and to all of our alumni families who continue to come out and support the Mindful School. Finally, thank you to Aunty Dolly, our fabulous PCNC, for coordinating this worthwhile activity which teaches not only money skills, but also the idea of giving, rather than receiving during the holiday season.

Thank you to all of our families who participated in our COVID vaccination clinic!

Here's a short clip from the news talking about our 2nd vaccine clinic.

Now that we have students who will be fully vaccinated, please take a look again at the DOH's Isolation and Quarantine guidance. How we approach close contact situations will depend on your child's vaccination status.

Student travelers must follow all applicable state and county rules at the time of the trip, including compliance with any required COVID-19 testing or quarantine periods. The Department’s protocol for students who travel out-of-state must comply with the following four options to return to school:

OPTION 1. Be fully vaccinated before the start of out-of-state travel and show proof of vaccination to the school.
OPTION 2. If participating in the Safe Travels Pre-Travel Test program or if under 5 years of age, obtain a COVID-19 test after returning to Hawaii and show proof of both the pre- and post-travel test results to the school (if the traveler is under 5 years of age, the adult traveling companion must show proof of a negative pre-travel test result). Waikiki School is asking that this post-travel test take place 3 days after arrival back in Honolulu.
OPTION 3. Quarantine for ten (10) days after returning to Hawaii.
OPTION 4. Provide the school with proof of a COVID-19 diagnosis obtained during out-of-state travel and return is allowed upon completion of the 10-day isolation period, no fever for at least 24 hours without the use of medication, and symptoms resolving (i.e., no COVID-19 test or quarantine required).

The DOE's Return to School Guidance applies to all children, irregardless of vaccination status.

Whether it's during the morning drop-off or afternoon pick-up period, please abide by our traffic signage. When exiting onto Monsarrat Avenue, only right turns are permissible. Everyone's cooperation with this is greatly appreciated.
