Attendance
Attendance is very important in your child's education. Students are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently.
If your child is to be absent, please contact our attendance clerk and send a note in order for your child to be excused.
Email: notes@kahukuhs.k12.hi.us
Email notes within three business days upon a student’s return to school for absences amounting to three days or less. Please include the following information: date, student name, date(s) of absence(s), reason for absence(s), parent/legal guardian printed name, signature, and contact number. Phone calls will not be accepted to excuse absences.

Please Email VP Aronica (grade 7-9) at michael.aronica@k12.hi.us or VP Macadangdang (10-12) patricia.macadangdang@k12.hi.us, and they will help you with this process.
