LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL… Aloha e nā ʻohana o Ke Kula ʻo Piʻilani, As we approach the end of the third quarter, I want to sincerely thank all of you for your support and patience these past months. Though there have been many challenges, we continue to succeed at the work at hand prioritizing the safety and education of all of our students. Parents, grandparents, siblings, and caregivers, thank you for your support as frontline educators and nurturing beautiful growth in your students. I would like to thank our hard working and caring faculty and staff. Their commitment is outstanding. Thank you for providing rich and engaging educational experiences for our students, fostering curiosity and confidence, and ensuring the development of our students is the top priority. I am grateful to our practitioners and volunteers - your presence makes us a much stronger working community for our children. I am also grateful to our network of partners, supporters, donors, and benefactors - thank you for believing in our mission, vision, and values. As we endeavor to return to in-person learning for Quarter 4, considerations on how to safely do so are constantly reviewed by our leadership, advisors, and administration. Our operational strategy to mitigate in-person learning during a time of pandemic is directly reflective of the most current CDCʻs recommendations and guided by our Piʻilani-specific needs, challenges, and opportunities. These recommendations remain fluid as best practices evolve but I am confident that if we continue our commitment to keeping each other healthy and safe through the use of masks, physical distancing, health screening, hand washing and respiratory etiquette, and maintenance of clean and healthy facilities, we should be able to finish this year together…and STRONG. And finally, I would take this opportunity to congratulate our students on their diligence to their lessons and their continued hard work. I love and miss you all and I look forward to our return to campus. Me ke aloha pumehana,
