Nimitz Elementary School is always open to working with its families and communities. One important person to contact if you are interested in volunteering or helping out at school events is our Parent Community Networking Coordinator (PCNC) ERIKA RODGERS. You can email her at ERIKA.RODGERS@K12.HI.US

Parent Involvement is a very important part of student success and as we transition back into a new type of normalcy, we welcome any assistance you are able to provide. We have parent volunteer forms that may be picked up from the front office if you would like to get involved.
