Message from Supt. Kishimoto on HIP enrollment Friday, Dec. 14, was the final day of open enrollment for direct-deposit sign-ups under HIDOE's new payroll system, the Hawaii Information Portal (HIP). Over a short two-week period, we were able to achieve 86.5 percent enrollment of our more than 40,000 full-time and casual employees. Impressive! As the state's largest employer, this is quite an accomplishment and I'd like to thank you for making this a priority. If you did not enroll in HIP or you inputted incorrect information, you will receive a paper check when the new system takes over on Jan. 4, 2019. If you haven't completed your direct deposit enrollment, please complete this required process — we must reach 100 percent enrollment. Please visit bit.ly/HawaiiPay for more information and instructions. Please note that enrollment after the Dec. 14 deadline will delay direct deposit for one or two pay periods. If you have any questions, please contact the HIP Service Center at 808-201-SERV (7378).

VIEW EMAIL ONLINE Holiday wishes to our entire HIDOE ʻohana As our students and teachers prepare for Winter Break next week, I want to wish all of you and your loved ones the happiest of holidays. We've made great strides together towards elevating our students that we can all be very proud of and I appreciate your hard work tremendously.  Our sixth graders at Hickam El. recently shared their holiday wishes with me and their voices serve to remind us what the holidays are truly about. "What I love the most about the holidays is spending time with my family and friends. My Wish this season is to give to others, and NOT to get."  ~ Alexis Anspach, Grade 6 "My wish this season is for us to love one another and spread Joy throughout the world! We are stronger than we think, and we are all beautiful just the way we are. Happy Holidays!"  ~ Grace Shipley, Grade 6 "The holidays make me happy because we get to sing Christmas songs. My wish this season is that everyone will be able to spend time with their family. I feel so happy and jolly!"  ~ Noah Fawcett, Grade 6 "My wish this holiday season is that everyone has food and people to celebrate with!"  ~ Jordyn Attaway, Grade 6 Mahalo to our students at Hickam El. and Hahaione El. for their beautiful holiday art creations!

Fwd: Kick Off Your Week: Applied learning opportunities around civic engagement

VIEW EMAIL ONLINE Applied learning opportunities around civic engagement When voters were asked whether to convene a state constitutional convention, 69 percent voted "no" or left the question blank, which counts as a "no" vote. Although the ConCon did not happen, this question remains: Does our general citizenry, more importantly our students and future voters, understand what was being voted on relative to what the constitution governs for our state?   What if our Department held a student-led ConCon? Academic competitions and events allow for fun applied learning opportunities. The focus of a simulated ConCon would be a study of Hawaii's constitution where students can explore what is in this governing document and how it is relevant to their own lives and issues they will be facing in the future. "It is truly important that we instill the values of our society, as well as the processes and responsibilities of a citizen, into the hearts, minds and souls of our students," said Kauai High School senior and BOE student representative David Texeira. "By doing this, we empower our students to be civically engaged and highly active in their government." Shortly before this year's election, the Hawaii State Board of Education (BOE) approved the adoption of the Hawaii Core Standards in Social Studies (HCSSS) in October. Classroom implementation of the HCSSS will be effective over a three-year period beginning with the 2019-2020 school year. Preparing our students to be global citizens requires them to master the ability to think critically, communicate effectively and take informed action. These lessons are often taught through the Social Studies curriculum and help to build an understanding of how society, economies and people are woven together. What makes the HCSSS different is that newer paradigms include global perspectives, multicultural views and practicing democratic citizenship. They establish collaborative spaces, encourage students to apply their knowledge, and connect the past with the present. If you are interested in participating in a civic engagement activity, we'd love to have you join us. Please sign up by clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/CIVICENGAGE.
