Teachers believe that children are our Hawaii’s future
We all have a role in the education of our children.
Working hand in hand, school staff, families, communities, and policymakers share responsibility for a child’s education. When families and schools work together, our children are the winners. This area offers resources for parents and educators on building a strong bond between home and school.
