Dear Parent(s)/Legal Guardian(s) and Students:
 
During these unprecedented and unsettling times, the safety and well-being of our haumana continue to be a priority for the Hawaii State Department of Education (HIDOE). The HIDOE is committed to foster safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environments. In this letter, you will find information on Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) Chapter 19 Student Misconduct, Discipline, School Searches and Seizures, Reporting Offenses, Police Interviews and Arrests, Restitution for Vandalism, Complaint Procedure and Investigation of Discrimination, Harassment (Including Sexual Harassment), Bullying and/or Retaliation. 

The HAR Chapter 19 rule includes definitions, behavioral offenses, and procedures for filing complaints of discrimination, bullying, harassment (including sexual harassment), and retaliation. It is important that you discuss this rule with your child(ren) to ensure his or her understanding. A copy of this rule can be found at bit.ly/HIDOE-Chapter-19. Additionally, in this link, there is a copy of the complaint form titled "Department of Education Hawaii Administrative Rules Title 8, Chapter 19 Complaint Form," which is used for filing complaints of student-to-student discrimination, bullying, harassment (including sexual harassment), and retaliation. 

Should you have further questions and/or would like to request a printed copy of the HAR Chapter 19 rule, please contact your respective school administrator for assistance. 
Thank you for keeping our haumana and schools safe. 

Sincerely, 
Dr. Christina M. Kishimoto Superintendent

2020 7TH AND 9TH GRADE SUMMER BRIDGE PROGRAM

June 29, 2020 - July 17, 2020 (Mondays to Fridays)

PURPOSE
Our intent is to provide students with a creative approach to education, while providing them with an introduction to high school life. Students will participate in 3 weeks of blended instruction both on and off campus. 9th grade students will earn 1/2 an elective credit for participating and will gain a sense of place as new students here at Pahoa High and Intermediate School.

ABOUT THE SUMMER BRIDGE PROGRAM
The purpose of our Summer Bridge Program is to help incoming 7th graders and freshman become familiar with the PHIS Campus, expectations, culture and staff.

SAFETY OF STUDENTS AND STAFF
To ensure that all students and staff are safe and healthy, our Summer Bridge Program will be held as a hybrid model including both on and off-campus learning opportunities.  All CDC guidelines must be followed while on campus, including groups of no more than 10 in a classroom, everyone is required to wear masks, and sanitation guidelines will be followed daily.  

If a student forgets his/her mask, we will provide a disposable one.  Any student who refuses to wear a mask or follow required guidelines will not be allowed to participate in the Summer Bridge Program. 

Additionally, every student will be screened upon arrival to campus.  Anyone demonstrating symptoms of illness  will need to be picked up for the safety of all.

Aloha parents and guardians, 
I want to personally thank you for supporting your child’s education over these past few months. This pandemic has forced families to not only increase their responsibilities as caregivers but also as educators. Mahalo for working with us to deliver your child’s education amid these challenging times.

Moving forward, the delivery of public education will look different in classrooms and schools across our nation. We recognize that our learning channels must be expanded and improved to incorporate more technology and distance learning. The pandemic has also amplified areas of inequity, including a lack of devices in some households and inconsistent connectivity in rural communities. I want to reassure you that I am committed to achieving universal access to technology. It is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.

As part of this effort, the Hawaiʻi State Department of Education (HIDOE) has distributed 12,000 devices to students statewide over the past couple of months, ordered 10,000 more to support learning over the summer, and will launch mobile learning labs to provide WiFi access and push learning into our hard-to-reach communities. However, we cannot do this alone. The HIDOE is part of a Broadband Hui working collectively to articulate a resolution to the state’s connectivity and access challenges and advance this effort.

The Department recently launched a multi-phase distance learning survey for teachers, secondary students and families to assess other gap areas and identify where we can enhance our support. Surveys were distributed to all HIDOE teachers and eligible secondary students this week, and the family survey will be distributed in early June.

We are going to grow from this experience and apply all that we’ve learned to better support our students through the summer and into the fall. The HIDOE ʻohana is diligently working on plans for next school year and we are relying on the expertise of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the state’s Department of Health to inform our policies and procedures. 

Parents will undoubtedly have concerns about their children physically returning to campuses. As a parent and on behalf of our leadership team, many of whom are parents of public school students, I assure you that your child’s safety and well-being is truly of the utmost importance. It will always be at the heart of every decision we make as we navigate these unprecedented times.
​
We look forward to welcoming our haumana back in the fall and will continue to communicate with you over the coming weeks regarding our plans for school year 2020-21. Stay safe and have a restful summer break. 

Sincerely,
 
Dr. Christina M. Kishimoto
Superintendent
