‘OHANA ENGAGEMENT is an integral part of any student’s success.
The word “engagement” is not to be confused with the word “involvement”; whereas a student’s educational success is a result of an unconditional commitment to the educational plan of a child with pathways provided by the school as well as selected by the student.
Kamehameha School Hawaiʻi Kula Kiʻekiʻe’s ‘Ohana Presence establishes a comprehensive program of approaches to engage its ‘ohana in the educational success of their child. The ‘Ohana Presence is a five-prong program that provides ‘ohana engagement through knowing ‘Ohana Kuleana, Academic Impact, Informational Sharing, Involvement, and Hoʻoulu – Recognition of Student Success.
