This evaluation process continues to be time-consuming; however, the individual conferences provides for some meaningful dialogue between the administrator and the teacher. Our Music program and the success of our Hawaiian Immersion Program continues to impress our school community and beyond with their musical skills through frequent public performances. Our Arts in Public Places Grant has been exciting for our students as the selected artist, former Upcountry resident Matthew Salenger, has been working with our students and implementing their ideas in a final art piece that will be installed this coming December and unveiled in January 2016. Just in time as we celebrate our 30 th year anniversary! Former students also continue to do well and five graduates from Kekaulike received $500 scholarships from Kalama s Scholarship Program that recognizes students from our K-12 King Kekaulike Complex. For the first time, through the leadership and creative mind of our VP, Mr. Timothy Shim, and with the hard work of our Student Activities Coordinator, Mitzi Toro, and the support of the entire faculty, we had a sending-off ceremony for our eighth graders moving on to high school. Well over 500 friends, family members and relatives came out to support the students as they walked through the halls of the sixth grade building where their middle school years at Kalama began! This will be one of our annual events! Finally, a grant from Digital Promise and Verizon will give each student and teacher an ipad Air to use with 5 gigs of data per month for the next two years in an effort to close the Internet accessibility gap. Year - 2016 will be an exciting one for the Kalama Panthers! Samuel Enoka Kalama Intermediate 06/2016 Page 1 of 8

Status and Improvement Report Improvement Year 2014-15 Summary of Progress Kalama Intermediate remains a school In Continuous Improvement. Implementation of the s initiatives continues and the use of Springboard for Language Arts and GO Math for our Math program to address the Common Core Standards is well under way at Kalama. Although the material is still new, our teachers met in departments regularly to develop a better grasp of the materials and determine what supplemental materials would be needed to support our students. As we anxiously await the results of this year s testing, we are certain Kalama will still maintain its standing when compared to other middle schools throughout the state. We have created a new master schedule to adjust our offerings to include a technology component in every grade level. To address the state s concern in regards to suspensions, we have created an In- Suspension Program for the Year -2016 as well as a team of educators to roll out our Positive Behavioral Intervention Support Program. By keeping the students in school, this should help to reduce failures and avoid students having to repeat a class or grade level. Finally, the awarding of a grant from Digital Promise and Verizon, which will place an ipad Air in the hands of every teacher and student, will help our students to close the internet gap by having accessibility to the world wide web whether they are at school or home!
