Are you looking for a great summer experience for your kids? Check out Leeward Community College's Summer Camp. Kids 12-16 years old are invited to their campus to engage in hands-on activities in a fun and inclusive environment. Please see attached flyer for more information.
Take advantage of our NEW meal payment program! You can now check your child's school meal account balance online, as well as make payments with a credit or debit card. Please see attached letter, which details the program and provides information on how you can create an online account!
WEDNESDAY, MAY 16: This is an EVEN day; students go to their even-numbered periods, plus Homeroom and Advisory.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 16: Throwback Spirit Day! Students can earn spirit points for their homeroom by wearing clothes from previous spirit days.
STUDENT DUES/END OF YEAR ACTIVITIES: Please make sure your child's student dues have been paid; students whose dues have not been paid may not be eligible to participate in some year-end activities (e.g., 8th-grade banquet and graduation). You may check with the office (305-9000) if you're not sure if dues were paid (these are usually paid at the time of registration -- $15 for the year; dues are pro-rated if a student came to Wheeler later in the school year).
To parents/guardians of upcoming 7th graders: Beginning last year, all 7th graders were required to complete a physical exam, according to state law. The first day of instruction for school year 2018-19 for Wheeler Middle School will be August 6, 2018. Please plan ahead and schedule school physical appointments early to ensure your child's physical exam is complete before the new school year begins. Please see attachment for more information. You may also visit www.hawaiipublicschools.org and search for 'Physical Exam.'
