Aloha Fern Families,

Welcome to a brand-new school year! Whether you are returning families or joining our community for the very first time, we welcome you to what promises to be another exciting year of growth and learning for your children.

Our campus is humming with energy once again, and our teachers and support staff have been working hard to prepare a safe, caring and engaging learning place for your children. This year, our focus centers on improving reading and math achievement while ensuring every single student feels seen, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Key Information to Start the Year

• First Day- Tuesday, August 4: Please ensure your child arrives before 8:00 AM so we can kick off our morning routines smoothly.

• Open House - Tuesday, August 4: Join us on the first day at 8:15am for Open House to meet your child’s teachers and learn more about our goals for the year.

• Stay Connected: Look out for our monthly newsletter which will also be posted on our school website: fernschool.k12.hi.us
