Aloha Seasider Parents,
August 14, 2020
Thank you all once more for your patience and understanding during these extraordinary times. I very much appreciate the questions, concerns, and suggestions I have received from you in the past few weeks. This has been a journey into the unknown for all schools, and I have been fortunate to have your thoughtful input.
After much debate at the State level, and considering our options as a charter, we have decided that the following plan for a limited on-campus Distance Readiness program followed by Full Distance Learning utilizing our classroom platforms will be our approach for the first quarter.
What this will look like:
1. All students will be divided into Blue and Gold groups as previously determined.
2. Between Monday August 17th and Thursday August 27th, all students will participate in four days of on-campus Distance Readiness training
3. Beginning August 28th and continuing for the remainder of the first quarter, all students in both the Blue and Gold groups will participate in Distance Learning from home.
-Full Distance Learning will correspond with school device delivery and the beginning of learning hub availability.
Distance Readiness
-On-campus training by teachers into that class’s online and/or printed resources
Full Distance Learning
-100% delivery of instruction via online and/or printed resources
-Essential data collection including class pre-assessments, MAPs, and subject specific assessments
Socially Distanced Lunch and Breakfast
-PreK, kinder, and elementary will have breakfast and lunch delivered to the classroom area with expanded social distancing requirements enforced
-Middle school students will have breakfast in the socially distanced cafeteria and lunches in the classroom area with expanded social distancing requirements
-Secondary students will have breakfast and lunch in the socially distanced cafeteria
Campus Device
-Chromebooks or other devices that will be provided to families without connectivity issues, who have completed necessary Distance Readiness Training, and who have a need of such device
Learning Hub
-Beginning August 28th, an on campus space will be made available for students unable to participate in our online platforms due to connectivity issues. More details on this will be forthcoming
Special Education
-In order to comply with the requirements of individual academic plans, contingencies and exceptions to many of the Distance Learning procedures will be made for special education students to insure equitable access to education.
Additional specifics regarding procedures and COVID-19 protocols are included in the attached reopening plan
Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions you may have.
I want to thank you once more for sticking by LCPCS during all of this uncertainty and tell you once more that our staff and myself personally have the greatest respect for each of you as we find your way through these most difficult of times.
Sincerely,
Kurt Rix

Seasider Ohana,
As most of you surely know, things are changing, not for the better, in the State's battle with COVID-19. Yesterday, the Governor announced
significant measures to control the spread on Oahu island. The inter-island travel quarantine has been reinstated as well as numerous measures regarding Oahu parks and beaches.
As of yet, there have been no changes announced regarding opening schools, and Hawaii as a state is still considered to be in the
yellow level, although I've heard we may be downgraded to orange soon.
As long as we remain at the yellow level, our current Blue/Gold,
blend of on campus and distance learning will remain in place. If downgraded to orange we will need to consider implementing a our distance only approach to start the year.
I realize that all of this uncertainty is very difficult on our families and I sympathize. Many of you have reached out to our office or me personally with questions and concerns. Please continue to do so, and check your email as well as our social media outlets frequently.
Mahalo and please stay safe.
