Aloha Parents/Guardians,
To those of you who responded to my call out for parents to the Parent Advisory Council, thank you for expressing an interest in participating. If you are still interested, it is not too late, just respond to Joanne.Imada@k12.hi.us. The Parent Advisory Council will give parents a voice in helping to contribute to action steps with our school community to address our students’ use of hate speech. Apologies for not convening a meeting earlier as we had other planned events and are mindful of your schedules during the past busy holiday season. Our meetings will be held virtually so as to give parents flexibility in participating. Our first meeting will be held on Thursday, January 15, 2026 at 5:00pm-6:00pm. The virtual instructions will be sent to those who have expressed an interest in participating.
An agenda and a tentative timeline will be shared prior to the meeting and Ms. Joanne Imada, our school’s PCNC, will publicize this meeting via email blasts to our families so more parents have an opportunity to engage with us. Thank you for your willingness to contribute your time for this great cause.
Kind regards,
Jeff Shitaoka
