Mōkapu Elementary Families,

For Tuesday, August 18, 2026, all schools in the Kailua-Kalāheo Complex will be open except Aikahi Elementary, Mōkapu Elementary, and Kalāheo High School, which will remain closed to students due to the continued effects of power outages resulting from Hurricane Lala.

The ongoing power outage prevents us from safely preparing and serving meals to students. All Mōkapu Elementary School staff will report to work as scheduled, except casual employees.

Plans are in place to provide food service on Wednesday and Thursday even if the power outage continues, which will allow us to move toward reopening for students while power restoration efforts continue.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and will provide an update regarding Wednesday's operations as soon as additional information becomes available.

Thank you for your continued support, and please stay safe.

Mahalo,

Brett K. Matsukawa
