Our Vision

Liholiho School, a Community of Caring, Competent and Creative Learners…

Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to make Liholiho School an inspirational place where our students feel nurtured in a safe, accepting, and challenging learning environment.

Our Philosophy

We respect the dignity of students and believe they all can learn. Therefore, the administration, faculty, staff, and community of Liholiho Elementary School are committed to provide opportunities that promote learning.

Educational opportunities are provided for all children, regardless of race, sex, creed or ability. All possible resources, human and material, are utilized to the fullest in promoting excellence in education. The school will strive for this excellence through an on-going school improvement process that addresses the learning needs of the school and the community.

Parents/guardians are very influential in how children view their world. They are their child's first and life long teachers. Giving children guidance and modeling positive attitudes towards attending school consistently and being on time daily, help support the value of work ethic. Developing this value at an early age helps children navigate positively through out life's journey.

!12

Wellness Policy

The United States Department of Agriculture, under Public Law 108-265, Sec. 204, requires each school district participating in the National School Lunch Program to establish a local school “Wellness Policy.” As a result of the Board of Education Policy 110-6 (Health, Wellness, and Safety Policy), the Department of Education developed Wellness Guidelines for public schools, which are based on the following principles:

• Healthy students are better able to learn; • Eating habits and active lifestyles that are

developed in childhood will affect health throughout life;

• All children deserve nutritious and safely prepared food;

• Standards based Health Education, including a focus on skills and knowledge relating to nutrition.

• Standards based Physical Education as well as daily physical activity.

Liholiho Elementary’s School Community Council is the designated body that has developed and implemented a Wellness Plan for our school. The Council’s plan includes the following: Students to bring "healthy" snacks (fruits, nuts, popcorn, baked crackers etc.), instead of candies, cookies, or chips.

• The importance of healthy eating will be promoted in classes.

• Bring healthy treats for birthday and holiday celebrations.

• 20 minutes of daily recess. • Weekly Physical Education classes: 45 minutes of P.E. for Grades K-3 55 minutes of P.E. for Grades 4-5

!13

School Attendance Policy Department of Education

Policy-HRS 302A-1136

Consistent school attendance is a major factor in a child’s school success. Parents/Guardians are their child’s first teacher and role model. They provide the foundation and values their child learns. Children model what their parent/guardian values. Giving children guidance and modeling positive attitudes towards attending school consistently, and being on time daily, help develop the importance of education within the child.

School Attendance Program School attendance includes a combination of both

absences and tardy days. When your child’s attendance totals 7 absent and/or tardy days, a letter will be sent home from the teacher. A parent conference will be scheduled to discuss reasons affecting your child’s attendance if 10 days of absences and/or tardies are documented.

Attendance records are monitored electronically by DOE and remain as part of a student's permanent record.

Unfortunately, if chronic inconsistent school attendance continues, schools must submit an Educational Neglect Petition to Family Court.

Absences When students are absent, parents/guardians should

inform the school office at 733-4850 by 9:00 AM, for students' safety. If a call is not received, parents/guardians will receive an automated call informing them of the documented absence.

We encourage parents/guardians to schedule dental and medical appointments during after school hours and/or non-school days.

!14

It is also important to schedule family vacation time during the Fall, Winter or Spring Breaks.

Tardies A warning bell rings at 7:55 AM. All students must be

physically in the classroom when the 8:00 AM bell rings. If a student enters the classroom after the 8:00 AM bell, he/she is considered tardy and must report to the school office for a tardy slip. If tardy more than two consecutive days without a valid reason, a call will be made to a parent/guardian.

*If a student arrives after 11:00 AM (10:45 AM on

Wednesdays), he/she is considered absent.

Release During School Hours A student may be released during school hours only if a

parent/guardian notifies the school office in writing or by phone. For your child’s safety, the authorized adult must report to the office, present a valid photo ID & sign for a student pass at the time of pick-up. Students will not be allowed to leave school alone.

* If a student leaves prior to 11:00 AM (10:45 AM on Wednesdays), he/she may be considered absent.

!15

Health Room Procedures

Illness and Injury When a student is/becomes ill or injured, he/she should

notify his/her teacher or another adult on campus. If he/she is unable to do so, another student should contact a teacher or supervisor.

Medication During School When a student needs to take/use prescribed or over the

counter medication during regular school hours, a request must be made using FORM SHS36, "Request for Administration/Storage of Medication in School" (available at some doctors' offices and in our health room).

The completed form must be signed, by both the parent and doctor making the request, and turned in to our Health Aide. The Public Health Nurse will contact you regarding the procedure.

Our policy states that all prescribed including authorized over the counter medication will be stored in the health room to prevent overdose and/or other problems.

No medication will be given on excursion days, unless prior arrangements have been made between the parent and the school.

If you have any questions please call our Health Aide at 733-4852, during the health room's hours (7:30 AM - 2:30 PM).

Homework Guide

In order to have good, independent, study habits, students and parents are responsible for the following:

• Make sure homework assignment is understood before leaving school.

• Take home all necessary materials needed to complete the homework assignment.

• Have an organized means of keeping and carrying homework to and from school.

• Arrange for a place to study. • Schedule time for homework that is compatible with family

and/or after school activity.

Our School Community Council has agreed to use the following as its homework guide.

Your child's specific daily homework times will vary. In the long run, these times should average out to the following figures.

Gr. K approximately 10 minutes/day average Gr. 1 approximately 20 minutes/day average Gr. 2 approximately 30 minutes/day average Gr. 3 approximately 40 minutes/day average Gr. 4 approximately 50 minutes/day average Gr. 5 approximately 60 minutes/day average

For example: If your child is in the fourth grade, our guide would prescribe an average of approximately fifty (50) minutes of homework each day.

Your child may not have exactly fifty (50) minutes of homework every day.

In a month, your child should have done approximately one thousand (1,000) minutes of homework. This would average out to fifty (50) minutes a day.
