This school needs to update their covid policies. Even if not that, but at least enforce and train the teachers and safetys to keep an eye on the kids. I know a student who doesnt even want to go in the breakfast line because she's terrified that the bigger kids will push her and send her to the back AGAIN. I just want this school to take action, it was never like this when i attended school here.

Hannalei has a strong focus on treating others with respect and kindness. My son was taught to find ways to do "acts of kindness."

Principal was always accessible when kids wanted to talk to him. He walked around the lunch area and was outside when the students were dismissed at the end of the day.

We have amazing teachers, staff and an extremely involved Principal, Mr. Hoover. He can be found every morning, greetings all students by name as they arrive to school. He visits their classrooms to interact and see what projects they are working on. He definitely makes our school an inviting and wonderful place to want to be at!
