Weekly Howler: Week of March 16, 2026

Campus Updates & Reminders:

Next week is our spring conference week. To allow for teachers to have time to meet with families, we will be operating on a modified schedule.

  • TK classes will follow their normal schedule for the week.
  • Kindergarten through 6th grade classes will operate 8:30-1:35 all week.
  • Students enrolled in after school programs (SPARK or Catalyst) must report to their programs at the end of the school day.
  • All other students must follow their after school procedures at the 1:35 dismissal (ex: car pick up, bike home, walk home, etc.)

Social Justice Corner:

Each month we learn about two social justice icons. Let’s learn about our second icon for Women’s History Month, Patsy Takemoto Mink:

  • Studied zoology and chemistry in college before getting a law degree
  • Represented Hawaii in the US House of Representatives; re-elected 5 times
  • She was the first woman of color and the first Asian-American woman elected to Congress
  • Worked to promote laws supporting civil rights, public education, fair housing, and fair labor
