Vaccination Clarification Letter

Vaccination Clarification Letter

Aloha e nā ʻohana NWOPCS,

This letter is to inform you that I have been made aware of concerns over your children being forced to receive COVID-19 vaccinations at school. Please note that this could not be further from the truth. We would never force any child or adult for that matter to receive any type of vaccination or medical treatment.

Please understand that as an educational institution, we provide learning opportunities and do not support or impose one opinion or stance on any issue or situation we experience as a community and society both locally and globally. Rest assured that we will always ensure the safety and well-being of all members of our learning ʻohana, and respect our diverse differences and ways of thinking, acting, and living.

In closing, please know that we will never force anything on any individual and that every member of our learning ʻohana is safe here at Nā Wai Ola Public Charter School. We mahalo each and every one of you who continue to help and support our school’s purpose, vision and mission, and educational program.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns at (808) 968- 2318 or pookumu@nawaiolapcs.org.

ʻO au iho nō me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo,

Kapua Francisco

Poʻokumu (Director/Principal)
