Families specifically planning to enroll their child in a Kula Kaiapuni for the following school year, such as for SY 2026-27, should participate in the Kaiapuni Priority Placement Request (KPPR) process. OHE facilitates this structured window each year to help families identify available spots in their preferred elementary programs well in advance. By participating in this process, families provide the Department with the necessary data to manage classroom capacity and allocate resources effectively. This forward-planning ensures that schools can prepare for incoming cohorts and maintain the high standard of immersion education expected by our community. Following this timeline is the most effective way to help the school prepare for your child’s arrival and support a smooth transition for the start of the new academic year.
