We are located in the heart of Kailua town on the Windward side of O ahu between the Koolau Mountains and Kailua Bay. Every child is supported through the Comprehension Students Support System (CSSS). KES provides additional services for students with special needs, such as Special Education (SPED), English Language Learners (ELL), Primary Adjustment Project (PSAP), and counseling. Kailua Elementary s vision is we are a happy, caring family where we are encouraged to explore, learn and do our very best. Along with our vision is our school motto, A Honu World.Engaging our Mind, Body and Spirit. Our focus has been to improve academic achievement through rigorous and engaging instruction. We have been proud of the fact that we made AYP for the last three years and we are a school in good standing, unconditional. We modified our Positive Action Program which is a researched based behavior program that teaches students to take responsibility for one s own actions and behaving in a positive manner. We continued to use the Word of the Week, however we rewarded students with Honu PRIDE Bucks for positive choices. Students are also recognized for making positive choices at quarterly assemblies. Arts and Music flourished in our school this year. With the help of Community Grants and Partnerships such as the Castle Foundation and Kaneohe Ranch, along with our PTSA we were able to contract an artist who provides art lessons to all classes. The culminating project was our beautiful Lei of Aloha wall mural which included every student. Through the Artist in the s grant, we were able to contract Michael Cowell from the Drama Crew who taught standards based lessons through drama to all students. We believe that educating the whole child is vitally important. KES has a Parent Community Networking Center (PCNC) that acts as a liaison between the school, parents and community. Our Military population is at 1 and we continue to provide family support. We are currently operating under the Community Councils established in July 2005 where administrators, teachers, students, parents and community members review and evaluate our academic and financial plans.

Status and Improvement Report Improvement Year -10 Summary of Progress Goal #1: Standards-Based Education We contracted a WestEd consultant, John Paul Lapid, to provide professional development of the POD(Planning, Observation,Discuss) method of coaching. This method developed by WestEd, was implemented to help individual teachers with continued support in lesson design and delivery. Teachers were coached in lesson development and how to increase rigor in their classrooms. The teachers developed and implemented lessons to ensure that the level of rigor matched the standards. The principal and curriculum coordinator planned with each grade level. Classroom walkthroughs were conducted regularly and the coaching opportunities provided support to the teachers through discussions. Grade level teachers also worked together on revising their content area pacing guides. Our team of three support teachers which included the technology coordinator, curriculum coordinator, and librarian worked with grade levels to plan project based units which included the use of multimedia. This team also taught the gifted and enrichment students through project based lessons. Goal #2: Quality Student Support A Before and After tutoring program, Boost, provided academic support for our struggling learners. We used the Achieve 000, KidBiz on-line reading program as the vehicle to support these students. The After school arts and adventures program was expanded to offer more classes on Wednesday afternoons. Quarterly Principal chats and Family Nights were well attended. It provided parents a venue to be involved and share concerns for their children s academic success. Our staff continued to provide safety and support for all students by advising clubs, such as the recess club, Aloha greeters, recycling club, poster-making club, sound crew, Honu Helpers student representatives, JPOs, and Flag squad. Goal #: Continuous Improvement Customer satisfaction and service was our focus. We developed service standards school-wide as well as with each staff role group. Our goal was for our school community to be treated with utmost respect and care. We were fortunate to form a partnership with TIFFE(The Institute For Family Enrichment), Achieve 000, and Kailua High National Honor Society. The project Together We CAN: Care, Aspire, Nuture established Club Biz Kids. The purpose of this mentoring project is to enhance student character and increase their performance in reading and writing for a select group of students in Grades 5 and 6. The end of year data received showed that the goals of the program were met. Another partnership that flourished this year was with our Military Partnership Unit; Manpower Personnel and Administration from Marine Corps Base Hawaii. They provided help and support with activities including tutoring and Physical Education. Kailua Elementary 11/10 Page of 8
