Name Plates for Afterschool Pick-Up

August 22, 2014

Dear ‘Ike Parent(s),

Thank you very much for your patience with our new afterschool pick-up procedures.  We’ve heard many positive responses about providing students a safer procedure when being picked-up afterschool. 

To help improve pick up time, we provided a nameplate to be placed on your dashboard so that the school staff member stationed by the driveway entry can notify other school staff members stationed at the pick-up point to alert the students of their ride.  If another member of your family is picking up your child, please have them simply use an 8 ½ x 11 paper and write using big lettering the child’s last name on the paper.  Nameplates were given to students who get picked up afterschool.

We ask, however, that if you do not see your child by the time you reach the pick-up point, that you keep circling around within the parking lot to pick up your child.

Mahalo again for your continued support!

HPD will be giving citations

Hello Parents,
The Honolulu Police Department has informed us that they will be giving citations to illegally parked vehicles in the area due to complaints from the community.  Please make sure that you park your car in designated areas to avoid getting a citation.
