More public school students in Hawaii head back to campus
Things are almost back to normal in Charisse Kapapa’s fifth grade classroom at Kaiulani Elementary School, where her students report every day for “face-to-face” teaching — albeit wearing masks.
The Kalihi school brought back its kindergartners and first graders full time in November. This month the second and fifth graders began coming daily, while other kids attend on alternate days. Since some families still prefer remote learning, students can socially distance on campus.
“The kids have been a joy,” said Kapapa, whose students returned earlier this month, about the same time that she got her second dose of the coronavirus vaccine. “They’re excited to be back in school, and we’re excited to be teaching them.”
