The following email from Rae Yamanaka was sent to all Principals this morning. Rae has asked SLLs to inform our teachers.

------

THIS MESSAGE IS GOING OUT BCC TO ALL SLLS.  PLEASE LET YOUR TEACHERS KNOW THAT THIS WAS SENT TO ALL PRINCIPALS THIS MORNING.

Hi all,

Thank you for the support you have given and continue to give to the Puna schools and the community.  We know that many other teachers who work at Keaau, Ka’u, Hilo and Waiakea schools are also impacted because their homes are in the Puna area.  We all agree that the health and safety of our students and staff is the primary focus and everything that you are doing to ensure that happens is greatly appreciated.  HSTA is more than willing to collaborate with you regarding the impact of the Kilauea eruptions on our schools, students and staff.

Many thanks to those administrators who have closed their schools since the eruption began.

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.

Thanks,

Rae

ALSO:  Please send me the names of teachers who have been impacted by the lava.  We are trying to compile a list of affected teachers and if they have need of supplies, rental units, etc.  You can have them contact me directly at this email address:  ryamanaka@hsta.org

Thanks,

rae
