📱 Important Update: New Elementary School Cell Phone Policy 📱

Aloha Parents and Guardians! To help our students stay focused and strengthen in-person connections, a new statewide cell phone policy takes effect on the first day of the 2026-2027 school year.

Here is what elementary school families need to know:

• Off and Away: Cell phones must remain off and away during the entire school day—from the first bell to the last bell.

• Storage: Phones must be stored in student backpacks or designated classroom storage areas.

• Exceptions: Exceptions will only be made for emergencies, approved instructional use, documented medical needs, or as required by an IEP.

Individual campuses may establish rules that are more restrictive. Please look out for school-specific procedures before the school year starts.

Mahalo for your partnership and support!

🚌 Attention families!

The school bus applications for Quarter 2 will be opening on September 14, 2026. Because seat availability is limited, HIDOE recommends submitting your application as early as possible since they are processed in the order received. Make sure to get your submissions in before the Quarter 2 window closes on October 12, 2026—as there is strictly no grace period! 🏫✨
