A MESSAGE FROM 
THE PRINCIPAL

At Hannalei our motto is to Live the Spirit of ALOHA.  We place a special emphasis on Academics, Leadership, Opportunity, Honor, and Academics.  Students and families that are part of Hannalei will see that opportunities are endless and are focused on building success in the future. 

Since Hannalei was founded, we have established a strong instructional program for all students focused on the core curriculum and based on Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. We strive to be proactive in our pursuit of excellence and in our use of research-based educational strategies to design rich learning experiences that engage students and prepare them for the 21st Century. We utilize programs such as iReady and Achieve 3000 to target instruction, to provide an accurate assessment, and to analyze student data. 

We believe in ongoing staff development through the effective use of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) and sharing of our best instructional practices schoolwide. Hannalei staff strives to provide an engaging, safe learning environment with high academic and personal expectations for all students.  We work collaboratively with families to ensure a strong community connection because we believe parents are an integral part of the successes of our school community. We welcome your participation in our school activities and encourage you to join one of our school-wide groups. Parental support is evidenced daily from the numerous classroom volunteers to participate in our very active and supportive PTA and to Hannalei's School Site Council (SSC) and English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). We believe involvement at school helps parents understand the educational process more thoroughly and better realize the significant positive influence their involvement makes for all children.  

After spending a little time at Hannalei what you will see is a school staff and parents dedicated to student achievement by providing an environment where every student experiences a sense of pride through positive accomplishments, a love for learning, mastery of grade-level standards and positive relationships with others. We look forward to working with you and your son or daughter during another year of academic success.
