Daniel K. Inouye Elementary School Home

We are proud to announce that our school received the Purple Star NORBERT Hawaiʻi Award on December 14, 2023! This prestigious recognition highlights the exceptional care we provide to our students, the meaningful connections we create through school-level supports, and our unwavering commitment to delivering a quality educational experience for every student.
 

Initially started in 2006 as the NORBERT Award, the Joint Venture Education Forum wanted to recognize exceptional HIDOE schools for their quality assistance and support of military students. The NORBERT Award represents a "stamp of excellence" for schools that meet the required award criteria.

 

Daniel K. Inouye was honored as a Purple Star NORBERT Hawaiʻi School because we demonstrated the following:

The school has a welcoming climate and safe environment;
The school has student-led transition services for incoming and outgoing students;
Through the joint military school liaison officers, Department Military Liaison, and the Hawaii State Commissioner, the school addresses key educational transition issues encountered by children of military families;
The school participates and engages in military partnerships; and
The school has an effective parent and community network program and partnerships.
