Please keep Pua and the Wong ohana in your prayers. She needs our Seasider aloha now more than ever. We ask that you refrain from contacting the family at this time. Monday classes will remain Blue Team only. A link to a GoFundMe page to help with hospital costs for our beloved Pua is attached below the post and in our Instagram bio.

FAQ - Transition To Distance Learning
This video will answer FAQs that middle and high school students and parents may have about LCPCS’ transition to distance learning.
Aloha Seasider Families,
News about COVID-19 is not encouraging. Beach access will be restricted for the next two weeks. As of Monday, there are 181 active cases on the Big Island. LCPCS is encouraging all our families to practice the utmost caution with regards to social distancing, PPE, and gatherings.
What is encouraging has been the commitment of our students and their families to our distance learning program. We have been thrilled with the turnout we have had during our device pickup days. Participation is way up over what we experienced in the spring. And perhaps most significant, families who may be having difficulties, whether with connectivity, or device use, or using the platforms are reaching out to our teachers for clarification and support. Thank you for your perseverance.
Our Cafeteria and Office Staff are working hard to prepare and deliver breakfast and lunch to all our enrolled students daily from 11:30 - 12:00 at the front of the school. Please come and pick up nutritious meals for your children.
As of yesterday LCPCS has created a safe space where those families struggling with connectivity issues can come to campus and utilize school WiFi at all hours of the day. Students and parents are welcome to sit on the benches while working. If they prefer, families could also choose to remain in their vehicles by parking across the driveway along the railing.
This is planned to be the first step in providing access opportunities for our students. By the end of the week, we hope to make available a Learning Hub where students can not only access our internet, but have staff support available to help them work through difficulties they may be having with the online platforms. We have also ordered over two dozen MiFi cellular devices that we will be able to distribute to our families who absolutely cannot access the internet from home. I have received a few requests already. Please reach out to the office for more information about MiFi devices.
As I said, we are thrilled with your commitment to utilizing the distance learning platform. Unlike in the spring, the lessons, activities, and assignment you are doing now count, both for promotion and attendance. None of what is happening now is optional, nor can it be accomplished through substituting activities that parents prefer, so please, keep up the good work and continue to reach out for support if you are having difficulties.
Keep reading your emails, listen to OneCall notices, and follow social media posts. If you haven’t been getting emails from LCPCS, or if your contact information has changed, please call our office to update our records.
Mahalo and stay safe.
This memo is to familiarize you with the entering campus procedure when we start welcoming back our students on August 17, 2020 (Blue Team), August 18, 2020, (Gold Team):
