Aloha Nanakuli/Waianae families of our Public and Charter Schools,
We hope this message finds you and your families well during this Covid-19 emergency in Hawaii.

During the school closure period, our cafeterias will be providing breakfast and lunch for any student on the coast, 18 years and under, using a “drive-thru” pick up system. Breakfast will be served from 7:30-8:00 am. Lunch will be served from 11:30-12:00 pm. One meal per child will be distributed and the child/children must be present in the car to be served a meal based on federal guidelines.
Added to the list for breakfast and lunch pick up is: Kamaile Academy Public Charter School from 10am-11am.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your school during the regular office hours.
We will continue to put the well being of our children and families as a priority in all decisions made during this time.
Please stay safe and well as we go through these times together.
With Sincerest Regards,
