Ka Leo Alakaʻi O Waikīkī

Will Call Valentines Dance Party Pickup will take place on Wednesday, February 2, 2026 from 7:00 am to 9:00 am. If not picked up, it will be sent home with your child. If you placed an order, please check your child's folder for wristbands and tickets. You must have one in order to participate at this Friday's Dance.

Under Hawaii laws, all persons attending public school are required to attend the school in the geographic area in which they reside. However, permission to attend another school may be granted by the Department.

For families looking for an exception, fill out the GE Application form, MV1 form, and submit to the home school (for new students) along with a self-addressed stamped envelope and a current proof of residency. (The home school serves the geographic area of the child's residence.) If your family has moved and are no longer in the school boundaries, you will have to fill out a GE application. GE applications for the next school year shall be submitted between January 1 and March 1 to facilitate a decision before the end of the school year.

Printed forms are also available in the school office.

Dear Waikiki Parents and Guardians,

We want to hear from you! Last year, our parent SQS participation rates were lower than hoped—this year, we are aiming to hear from every family. Your feedback is the most direct way to help us and the Hawai'i DOE understand what’s working and where we can improve for your children.

The survey is open now through March 12, 2026. It only takes about 8–10 minutes, and your responses are 100% confidential.

📝 How to Participate

• Where: Visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2026SQSParent

• Access: You will need your child’s first, middle, and last name initials and their grade level to begin.

  • Note: If your child has no middle name, please enter "#" in that field.

• Language: The survey and a letter from Superintendent Keith Hayashi are available in 15 different languages at the link above.

💡 Quick Tips

• Complete in one go: The system does not allow you to save and resume later.

• One per child: You may submit one survey for each child enrolled in grades K-12.

• Be heard: If a question doesn’t apply or you aren’t sure, feel free to select “N/A.”

This survey is for K-12 parents only. (Pre-K families, you can sit this one out!)
