Updates - Week of Feb. 20t

A great way to start any weekly update is sharing about students' accomplishments and community partnerships:

* Congratulations to the boys soccer team for their terrific showing and solid play at this past weekend's State Soccer Finals. Great job for an outstanding season as we are very proud of you.
* Kudos to our Kapaa and Waimea High JROTC programs for a successful 15th Annual Joint Military Ball. Students representing Warrior and Menehune Battalions' Corps of Cadets and their special quests represented their schools proudly as it was an enjoyable evening.
* American Savings Bank – Bank for Education award of $10,000 will help further support our school's technology vision. Planned presentation is scheduled for March following Spring Recess. Looking at having Bank of America's officers and other technology partners visit some of our classrooms during that media day.


Construction updates:

* Telecommunications: R Electric Construction is progressing in a very timely schedule. Their night crew recently completed major placement of conduits in buildings A, D, B, I and F. Teachers and staff in buildings M, R and S can expect the electricians to be working on your buildings this week.
* Solar Electric Panels : Conversion to having solar energy help power our electrical needs continue as our school facilities were recently assessed for the solar panel installations. While the contractors haven't yet been named officially, plans are to begin installation of the panels within the year for both Kapaa Elementary and High schools.
* Girls Softball Stadium: A few minor items remain outstanding before officially accepting the stadium. Items include the needed drainage adjustments in the left outfield area, replacing the bases, and additional rain protection for the food concession building. Our goal remains in having the girl's softball team play on their own home field at the beginning of this season.


Special Assemblies: With students are faced with numerous challenges dealing with bullying, suicides, digital environments, etc., PCNC Nancy Borilez and Title I are sponsoring an outstanding speaker in FBI Special Agent, Arnold Laanui Jr. Assemblies addressing ethics in a digital world entitled "Digital Tattoos" are planned for Thursday, March 1, 2012. Day assemblies for our students and an evening session for parents/community. More specifics will be shared shortly and attached below is the parent & community flyer.



Hawaii State Assessment updates: After the second round of testing, data for grade 10 students' show continued growth. In English, about 69% of the students have met proficiency with 91% participation rate. Mathematics results show about 39% at proficiency with 94% participation. The Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) targets are 72%. Schools can have their students take the HSA three times and use their best scores. Science will be administering their assessments this week.

Finally, want to speak to the ongoing parent conferences. Parents of identified struggling students are contacted to meet with teachers, counselors, school services coordinator and administration. Overall, parents' feedback has been positive and confident that we should be seeing progress with a good majority of the students. Want to acknowledge our HUI teachers as they have been using their lunch period to meet with students/parents.

Weekly Calendar:
Monday, Feb. 20th: Holiday - Presidents' Day

Tuesday, Feb. 21st: School Community Council meeting - Student Center @6:00 p.m.

2012 National School Counseling Week
Friday
Today is the final day of “National SchoolCounseling Week.” Our final message focuses on “what matters Actor Matt Damon said recently: “I think what’s important for kids to know is your decisions here on earth matter. Your behavior matters. How you treat other people matters. ”What you do in school, at home, and in other places makes a difference in your life and in the lives of others. It might be as simple as holding the door open for someone, or as complex as writing a great story or inventing a new way of computing. No matter how
big or how small, what you do matters. In Oh, the Places You’ll Go, Dr. Seuss writes: “You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your
left. ”Thanks to all the students and staff for helping to make this a great week. Now let’s all work together to “Be Brilliant.”

The student council will be selling Valentine Grams consisting of a variety of plush animals and heart-shaped balloons all this week during morning recess and lunch in the SAC room. The prices range from $1.00-$5.00. Valentine Grams will be delivered to the student’s class on Valentine’s Day. You may send it anonymously or straight up, your choice. Come check us out, and give a gift to that someone special for Valentine’s Day! Faculty and Staff are also welcome to purchase Valentine Grams.

Attention! The Kapaa High Earth Club will be selling roses for Valentine's Day to send to a sweetheart, a friend, or anyone on school campus & it can be anonymous ! It's $3.50 per rose and delivery. You can buy roses between Thursday, February 2nd - Friday, February 10th in the SAC room during morning or lunch recess. Roses will be given out on Valentine's Day (February 14th) during first period. All money will go to Earth Club & Student Council to help with Prom. Thanks!

2012 National School Counseling Week
Our message today takes a look at who helped Dorothy in “The
Wizard of Oz.” The Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion all needed something that was missing from their lives — a brain, a heart, the nerve. The thing they all had in common was character. As the story progresses, you see how their character helps them overcome what is missing in their lives. By refusing to abandon their friend in the face of the Wicked Witch of the West, their character helps them ultimately get what they need. Maya Angelou, the famous American poet, once said: "One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest." Do you have the courage to be brilliant? Do you have the character? As your school counselor, I can help you develop those skills — and others, too — that will help you to be successful.

The student council will be selling Valentine Grams consisting of a variety of plush animals and heart-shaped balloons all this week during morning recess and lunch in the SAC room.

KAPA’A HIGH ALL:
2012 National School Counseling Week
Sample Morning Announcements
Monday
Good morning. today is the first day of “National School Counseling Week.” Our focus for the week is “Be Brilliant.” This does not just mean brilliance in your schoolwork and the grades that you get. You also can be
brilliant in how you treat people and the world you live in. It is not easy growing up in today’s world. Every day, distractions and other things can keep you from being brilliant — tough classes, peer pressure, friendship problems,
depression, and more. My job is to help each of you reach your full potential and be
successful. That’s what school counselors do: We help. Come by and talk to me soon.

Students and Faculty and Staff:
Today’s message is about curiosity and the power of connections.
Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, encouraged people to “think different.” Ten years ago, Jobs knew that computers were not the only key to Apple’s future success. Success to help was in developing tools that allow us to connect — to our music, our pictures, to the Internet, and to others. Born from his curiosity and desire to connect were the iPhone, the iPad, the iPod, and iTunes.
As your school counselor, I want to encourage you to be curious, to “think different.”
There is much to be learned from the brilliance that is in each of you.
