Program Area #2‐ ‘Ohana (Family) Programs • ‘Ohana‐Classroom Connections: 20.3% of Kamaile students have had a family member attend an event. 95.7% of attendees report their presence has had a positive academic impact on their student. • Student‐Led ‘Ohana Conferences: 7 K‐12 teachers are leading a pilot of this system initiated by the Navigators’ Center. In the first round of student‐led conferences, 100% of the 18 participating students and 12 participating parents reported a positive academic impact from the conference. • Volunteer Program: 9.9% of students have a family member registered as a volunteer, and 3966.5 hours of service have been logged this year. 100% of 24 volunteers surveyed report that their service has a positive impact on the academics, happiness, and health of their student. • E Ola Assistance: With 5.5% of the student population identified as homeless, 17.0% of those students’ families have received some material aid and 30.2% have had personal meetings with the Center to discuss possible resources and opportunities available to them. Program Area #3‐ Olakino Maika‘i Health Center • Health Room: 99.2% of all students have met all basic health requirements for school entry. • Dental: Dr. Dan Fujii plans to begin school‐wide dental screenings in the second semester with hopes of offering more comprehensive services out of the medical trailer before year’s end. • Vision: 207 students were screened in one day, 42.5% of the targeted grade levels. 62 (28.4% of those screened) were referred for follow‐up and offered support from the Center and community partners. • Medical Trailer: After raising more than $36,000 in grant funds for the project over the past year, the Center has worked closely with Dr. Fujii and various contractors to move forward with the final phases of the project including installation of the photovoltaic system, dental equipment, internet cable, and “green” cooling systems. We hope to have students receiving dental services by this March. • Health Education: 3rd graders have begun the 2nd year of the Mini Docs program created and delivered by medical students from WCCHC; 8th graders will begin the Health Explorers program developed and led by WCCHC nursing students; and 4 Kamaile juniors have joined the WCCHC Youth Health Corps. • Healthy Snack Program: 80.6% of students are eating a free healthy snack daily as reported by teachers. Center‐Wide Initiatives • Community Partnerships: 11 organizations updated official Sail Plans for Community Partnerships, tracking their work with the school since the beginning of SY12‐13. • Communication: Navigator News has become a weekly staple for keeping the entire Kamaile school community informed on events and issues around campus. The data and figures above serve as useful indicators of the progress of our work, but the most telling navigational tool we hold remains the daily interactions with students, families, staff, and community. As a school community we set sail toward clear successes such as May’s first ever Kamaile High School graduation ceremony, but we remain ready for the storms that inevitably arise in the lives of our students and families. We strive each day to manage and balance all of our programs, partnerships, and efforts, but they all remain mere means to a greater end, our true destination of Kamaile students being empowered to navigate a course in life that they truly see as being pono (righteous). www.navigatorscenter.org
