considered student obligations and need to be paid prior to students participating in 
extra-curricular activities. -Every replacement ID gets a brand new code so students will 
not be able to use their old IDs to get school meals. This prevents other students from 
using lost/stolen IDs to purchase school meals.

Students are required to show their ID to get a school meal. Students may obtain a 
replacement ID in Q-0,  Mon - Fri 7:30am - 7:55am. and recess on Monday, Thursday &

ATTENDANCE DETENTION
Serve your detention hours today! As a reminder, detention hours not served are considered 
an obligation. Students will need to serve their accumulated detention hours for unexcused 
absences prior to participating in extracurricular activities such as the Prom, May Day Court 
auditions, Winter Sports, etc. Written notes for excused absences should be submitted or 
emailed to [email protected]  within three days of student absences. Detention hours 
can be served in Rm. R-201 from 3:00pm - 5:00pm. If you have any questions, regarding

NEW INFINITE CAMPUS APP 
The app that currently is used to view online grades, infinite campus, now has an entirely 
new version which must be downloaded. Be sure to download the appropriate app as a 
parent or student, as they are different and won't work with your log in if you are not using
the correct one. The current infinite campus app will soon be discontinued. Please call 
(808) 305-7410 or email [email protected] if you have questions about
how the app works, and contact your grade level counselor if you are having trouble 
accessing your account.      M. Jackson

NEW LOCK OUT PROCEDURES
Due to students going to Lock Out to purposefully avoid class, time in Lock Out will be 
marked as unexcused absences. Students will not be able to get make-up work or be excused 
from work missed while in Lock Out. Unexcused absences will also count towards 
accumulated detention hours. As a reminder, students who are found roaming on campus 
instead of going to Lock Out, will get a referral for class cutting, insubordination, and/or 
truancy. We are working on setting up a separate daily phone message to report the periods 
that students spend in Lock Out. It is important to be in class and to get to class on time!
