Summer School Registration Continues

Yesterday, 4/8/10, was the last day of summer school registration exclusively for Mililani Mauka Students. 

Starting next week, registration will be open for any students currently in grades K-4.

Summer school will be held June 7 to July 6 from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm.
The cost of tuition is $107.00.  Payment is required at registration.

Currently, there are still a limited number of openings in each grade level.  As classes become full, students will be placed on a waiting list and parents will be called as space becomes available.

Our summer school director is Kyle Shimabukuro (626-3350, ext. 2227).
Applications are also available for download at: Summer Application 2010

HSA Testing Completed

Today was the final day of HSA Testing for 4th graders.  Students in 3rd and 5th grades finished on Wednesday.  It took extra effort from the whole school community to make this a positive experience where students can show what they know.  Mahalo!

Make-up testing will occur during the next week for students who were absent.  Results will be published and made available to parents in August.  Thank you for your continued support.

Kindergarten Makes a Difference!

Students in Kindergarten participated in our most recent recycling drive. Recycling aluminum cans and plastic bottles not only helps the environment, but also raises money for technology and student activities. They're learning that they can make a difference! Mahalo!
