Keonepoko Elementary School

[dfryman]

I have been a Keonepoko parent for 19 years (minus two years between the last two children). Most of the staff is great but you always have a few that yell too much. as a parent you can complain to the principal if this becomes a problem for your child. they have incentives to help children behave and some after school programs. there seems to always be a bully at some time or another so it is important that you talk with your child and tell him/her to tell you and a teacher whenever they have a concern or complaint. safety is a number one priority and children are not allowed to wonder around campus. school t-shirts are mandatory this year and there are two colors to choose from. 14 years ago my son had some problem with being bullied but it was taken care of in a timely fashion. my youngest daughter has been a student there for 5 years now and she has had no problem with other children. just complaints about some teachers yelling too much. if you would like to be involved in school activities and ideas please join the PTSA. it is $10 a year and meetings are every other month. (sometimes more often) all in all i believe Keonepoko is a good school and i hope you and your child will have a good experience there. the only down fall is if you drive your child to school, the traffic is bad after school but you just have to go with the flow. you will receive a newsletter every month to tell you what is going on for that month. it comes in handy and has useful contact information in it. if you have any questions or concerns, you can call the office at 965-2131.
