5/7/2026- Updates and Reminders

IMPORTANT Next Year Report Form- As we come to Quarter 4 of the school year, we understand a significant amount of our families may be making preparations to move due to permanent change of station orders. In anticipation of this, and in preparation for the next school year, it is important our administrative staff has the best understanding of the enrollment for next school year. Please fill out this survey regarding your child(ren)'s status for next school year. If you have multiple children, please fill out this survey for each of your Nimitz ES children. 

April EoMs- We have just added our Eagles of the Month for April to the EoM page. Our Eagles of the Month have demonstrated exemplary behavior in the classroom and were given recognition for this on the week of 4/27…Way to SOAR, students!

HEADS UP- End of Year Activities

SBA Testing (Grades 3-6) - During the 2025–2026 school year, all students in grades 3–6 will take the Smarter Balanced English Language Arts (ELA)/Literacy and Mathematics Assessments and all students in grades 5 will take the Hawai’i State Science (NGSS) Assessments. The schedule of assessments for the rest of cycle is as follows: 

• MATH CAT: Tuesday, 5/12

• NGSS #2 (Gr. 5 only): Thursday, 5/14

We would appreciate that you do not schedule any appointments or vacations that would cause your child to miss any of the assessment days. This would force your child to take the test on makeup days which could keep them out of class for an extended period of time.
