The grade level Ho'olaule'a Chairs inform, and recruit, the parents necessary to implement the assigned grade level task. Ho'olaule'a 2009 will be held on April 18, 2009, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. A Ho'olaule'a Kick Off Meeting is held in the Fall and monthly meetings are held to inform and equip the parent chairpersons to successfully fulfill the grade level kuleana. Food Training: Upon entering the school, parents are expected to attend a one-hour Food Handling class. Completion of this class is a requirement of KSM parents to handle food. The class is required each time your student enters a new campus. So, if your student enters at grade K, you are expected to take the class as a Kindergarten parent, as a Gr. 6 parent, and as a Gr. 9 parent. For those parents coming in at other years, you are also expected to take the class upon entering the school and to re-take the class when your student moves to another campus. Classes are conducted at Namahana Dining Hall. 6:15 - 8:00 PM Thursday, Sept. 11; Wed, Oct. 15; Thursday Nov. 6; and Friday, Feb. 6.
