Afternoon Pick Up - After 2:30pm will be at Office

As we continue to work together to keep all students safe at school, we ask for your support.  Our students and staff have demonstrated they know the procedures and what to do in times of emergencies.  We are proud of the two students who took care of each other by staying in pairs and also immediately notifying a staff member when they witnessed the suspicious vehicle.  Our staff is constantly monitoring and aware of activities on campus.  Mililani 'Ike Elementary is a safe learning environment.

We are asking for your assistance in picking up your children promptly after school if they are not in our A+ program.  Many students are found playing on campus or waiting either in front of our office or at our back gate on Kuaoa Street.  We do not have supervision for the students after school.  Staff members monitor the pick up locations at the front of our office and the back gate until 2:30pm (1:00pm on Wednesdays).

Please be sure to make arrangements for all children to be picked up by 2:30pm (1:00pm on Wednesdays).  Any students remaining unattended at 2:30pm will be escorted to the office and a phone call will be made to parents.

Please speak to your child about the arrangements for after school to be sure everyone is clear on the plan for pick up.  If your child is still on campus after 2:30pm please report to the office to pick him/her up.  All children who participate in any of our after school groups will be asked to come to the office if they are not picked up promptly.

Vigilance - Student Safety

We are asking for the support of all families and community members.  Today at about 12:30pm a suspicious vehicle was observed taking pictures of our office and cafeteria.  Two students witnessed the car as it stopped.  The driver noticed the two students, drove further up the drive way, opened the driver's door and stood with arms up to the students.  The students turned away as a staff member came into the area.  The car drove off.

A police report was filed.  We are working closely with the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) to investigate this situation.  A request was submitted to the Wahiawa patrol division for frequent monitoring of our campus. 

In school we have reviewed our procedures to ensure the continued safety of all students and staff.  Teachers and counselors will be reviewing safety actions (Stranger Safety) with all students.  Students will be reminded never to talk to strangers.  If approached by a stranger, run away, yell for help, and make loud noises to get the attention of others (such as yelling, "This is not my Daddy!  This is not my Mommy!").  Run to the nearest building or staff member to get help.  Tell the staff member what happened.

Please review Stranger Safety tips with your child at home.  If you notice any suspicious vehicles or activities, please call the police, 911.  We are asking for everyone's cooperation to continue to monitor Mililani 'Ike Elementary and keep it a safe place for all students to learn.

Traffic Safety - Thank you for your Support!

Thank you very much for your support with our request for assistance with the traffic concerns around our school during drop off and pick up times.  We noticed a decrease in the number of vehicles that are double parking on Kuaoa Street and creating unsafe situations for our students.  In the last week we noticed cars are following traffic rules and posted signs.

Please continue to assist us in keeping all students safe as the arrive and leave our campus.  We appreciate your patience as you wait along the curb for your child to arrive safely at your car.  Please continue to discuss traffic safety with your child at home.  Remind your child to use the crosswalks and to stay on the sidewalks when waiting.

Mililani 'Ike's Robotics Team

This weekend the 'Ike Robotics Team, Pueo Techtonics, competed in the First Lego League Qualifying Competition at Mililani High School.  They competed against nine (9) other elementary and middle schools.  The team demonstrated their knowledge through their presentation and robots' performance on the various tasks.  They are selected as an alternate for the State Competition.  Great job 'Ike Robotics!

Reading is Fun!

Thank you to our military partners, the 84th Engineering Battalion, who read to our students during their lunch periods.  The students enjoyed the stories of All Around the Islands, Stellaluna, and Seven Silly Eaters.  Thank you 84th Engineering Battalion!  The students had a wonderful time with the special event.

Safety Updates

Thank you to all of our families for the instant response to address our safety message.  Mililani 'Ike Elementary continues to work with the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) in investigating the situations involving the two vehicles who were taking pictures on our campus.  We submitted a request to HPD asking for more surveillance around our school as a precaution.

Our teachers are leading discussions with the students in the classrooms on general safety precautions and what to do when approached by strangers.  Please continue to speak to your child at home.  Safety is an ongoing area where children require reminders and instruction.

We are also looking to create a parent watch group.  It would constitute parents volunteering to monitor the front and back drop off/pick up areas of our campus in the morning (7:30am - 8:00am) and after school (2:00pm - 2:30pm).  If you are interested in volunteering your time, please contact Mrs. Janel Uemori at 626-0940 extension 236.

Thank you again for your continued partnership in your child's education!
