Hawaii Military Guide - Summer-Fall 2024

Youth Education 80 EMERGING FROM COVID Working with the State of Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) Disease Outbreak Control Division, the Hawaii Department of Education (HIDOE) was diligent in keeping the local community updated on COVID-19 conditions through a Guidance For Schools resource and HIDOE’s Hoʻohaʻaheo newsletter. As conditions continued to improve, Hoʻohaʻaheo transitioned from a source of weekly COVID updates to a resource highlighting bright spots from across the public school system. Count on stories and announcements targeting the broader needs of Hawaii’s school communities. Visit HawaiiPublicSchools.org, click on the “Vision For Success” tab, scroll to “Newsletters” and click on Ho`oha`aheo to find the most recent editions. Big news for military-dependent students is that HIDOE has received three grants from the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) partnership that will focus on enhancing college and career skills in the Campbell, Kapolei and Radford complexes, and world language learning opportunities in the Kalaheo complex for military-dependent students at select schools over the next five years. DoDEA provides quality educational services to military dependents around the globe and works closely with the HIDOE to expand opportunities at Hawaii public schools with significant populations of military-dependent students whose parents serve in the various branches of the U.S. military.
