If your child to and from school in a car, please make sure to drop off and pick him/her up on time, following our school traffic plan, as there is no supervision before and after school hours unless your child is enrolled in the A-plus Program.


Tardy Policy

A warning bell rings at 7:45 a.m. and students are expected to be in their class, ready to learn, promptly at 7:50 a.m.  Any student arriving after 7:50 a.m. must report to the office for a tardy slip and will be marked tardy on their attendance record for that day. 


Student Release During the School Day

Release of students early during the school day must be done through the office.  The office has a sign-out sheet for parents or guardians who are withdrawing their children for a part of the day.  When scheduling appointments, please try to make them for after school hours, on weekends, or during breaks.


Absence

Appropriate procedures for absences need to be observed at Kapa'a Elementary School where attendance is highly valued.  Parents must inform the school office when a student is absent.  Call 821-4424 before 8:00 a.m. each morning of an absence.  If a student is not in school for at least three hours, it is the State Policy that they are considered absent for that day.


If your child is absent from school due to illness, you may call the school office before 9:00 a.m. to request homework assignments from your child’s teacher.  The office will notify the teacher and the assignments will be sent to the office for pick-up after school.


We strongly discourage vacation trips when school is in session.  Your child's teacher is under no obligation to provide work prior to your child's absence.  When he/she returns to school, teachers are not required to provide make-up tests or tutoring. 


Please send a positive message to your child about the importance of being in school every day.
