Principal's Message

I would like to update you on some exciting new initiatives we will be implementing this year:

New Curricula:

• Reading/Language Arts: We are excited to introduce the Wonders 2023 program. While we have used Wonders in the past, this updated version aligns closely with the Hawaii Common Core standards, ensuring our students receive the best possible instruction.
• Math: We are also implementing the new Into Math curriculum. To provide our students with the highest quality education, our teachers and staff will participate in ongoing professional development for both of these programs.

Specials:

• We are pleased to announce the return of Art and Library classes! In addition to PE, Hawaiian Studies, and Guidance, students will now enjoy regular Art and Library sessions.
• Our new Art teacher, Mrs. Peltier, a former Kindergarten teacher, and our new Librarian, Mrs. Wong, a former second-grade teacher, bring a wealth of experience and creativity to our school. I look forward to seeing the amazing art projects and hearing about the wonderful library experiences our students will have.

Parent and Community Involvement:

• Your support is crucial to the success of our school. I strongly encourage you to get involved in any capacity you can. Consider joining and actively participating in the PTO. Monthly meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM in the library. We would love to have you join us.
• Additionally, I host a parent/principal coffee each month. This is a great opportunity to sit with me, ask questions, learn more about what’s happening at Alvah Scott, and share in our successes. Our first coffee will be on August 26th at 8:15 AM for parents of Pre-K and Kindergarten students, although all are welcome.

Thank you for your continued support of Alvah Scott. Together, we can make this school year a wonderful experience for all our students.

Warm regards,
