HIDOE School Year 2022-23 SCHOOL QUALITY SURVEY for Parents / Guardians

Aloha Kākou,

Thank you for taking the time to participate in Hawaiʻi Department of Educationʻs confidential survey. Whether your child is physically going to school, attending online sessions, or both, please give us your opinion about your child’s school. It will take about 10 minutes to complete this survey (Responses are not saved so please complete it in one sitting.) and we respectfully ask that you submit it by March 10, 2023.

You may respond to one survey for each child. You will begin the survey by inputting your child’s first, middle, and last name initials. (If your child does not have a middle name, input “#”.) This information is for survey security and will be redacted to ensure the confidentiality of your responses. 

Directions: Please read each statement or question carefully and respond with one child in mind. Select “Neutral” if you neither agree nor disagree. If you feel that you cannot answer a question or if you do not know, please skip the question or select “NA” for “Not Applicable.”

Language translations (14 languages) are available for the SQS parent letter from the Hawaii State Department of Education Superintendent Keith Hayashi and for the questions on this survey. You may access the translations at ARCH.k12.hi.us/reports/sqs. (Please see the parent letter for directions.)

If you have any questions about this survey, please contact us by calling (808) 733-4008 from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. Neighbor Island parents may call toll-free at (855) 276-5801. We can also be reached via e-mail at SQS@k12.hi.us.

This affirmation reflects the deep and intentional work of our kumu and staff in designing meaningful, engaging, and academically challenging learning experiences for our haumāna.We are especially excited about the work already underway to prepare for this next phase. Our educational team is actively building and refining our schoolwide PBL program to ensure it enhances student learning, strengthens outcomes, and reflects who we are as a school community.In addition, we have begun coordination with our partners at the Hawaiʻi State Department of Education, including the Complex Area Superintendent, as well as leadership from Keaʻau High School and the Big Island Interscholastic Federation (BIIF). Through these collaborations, we are working to ensure that our future high school students will have access to athletics and extracurricular opportunities through Keaʻau High School.This achievement reflects the collective commitment, dedication, and belief of our entire community—our haumāna, ʻohana, kumu, staff, and board. It is a direct result of our shared vision to provide a high-quality, culturally grounded education rooted in ʻike Hawaiʻi and delivered through a dynamic PBL approach.This success belongs to all of us.As we move forward, we remain committed to working collaboratively to ensure that every student is supported, challenged, and inspired—now and into the future.Mahalo nui loa for your continued trust, support, and partnership.Interested in enrollment for school year 2026-2027?
