Today is a good day for SEEQS. So much sweat equity in this place already from so many.

BIG NEWS: OUR NEW SITE. We are excited to announce that SEEQS has finalized a lease for 1728 Nuʻuanu Ave! This location offers safety, new possibility, and a strong local community. Learn more: seeqs.org/nuuanu

It's Monday, which means another episode of the What School Could Be in Hawaii podcast. This time with @buffycushman, the ED of @SEEQSHI, which is all about #whatschoolcouldbe in our #808educate! mltsinhawaii.com/index.php/2020…

Amazing! RT @KaseyEBarton: Inspired by his new school @SEEQSHI and @RonFinleyHQ, my 7th grade son sprouted some purple sweet potato ('uala) and sweet onion which are now growing in a recycled box in our garden. Training the next generation of #IamABotanist pic.twitter.com/vTd5rV5Ji9

At @SEEQSHI, #COVID19 hit as students were embarking on self-directed projects in a yearlong exploration of sustainability. Read about how they continued this work while sheltering in place at home in our new blog by @jlafors. learningpolicyinstitute.org/blog/covid-bey…

8TH GRADE PORTFOLIO DEFENSE IS HERE! We have adopted a virtual format this year, starting Thursday afternoon and continuing all day on Friday. SEEQers, we are proud of you and can't wait to see your portfolio defense presentations! seeqs.org/portfolio-defe…

It's National Teacher Day! We are grateful for our SEEQS teachers and for teachers around the world. Thank you for all you do. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

At this elementary school, students are taught to ask themselves, "How big of a problem is this, and how should I choose to respond?" 💕

SEEQS 6th grader Emma had her first science fiction piece published in the KidsBeat section of Honolulu Vibes! You'll find work from a few other SEEQers there, too... honoluluvibes.com/the-simulation/

Happy Earth Day! Today SEEQS was named a 2020 U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School! Across the country, 39 schools, 11 districts, and 5 postsecondary institutions are being honored for their commitment to sustainable practices: www2.ed.gov/programs/green…

SEEQers in EQS Hoʻokahe Wai, Hoʻoulu ʻĀina were worried about the native plants they have been caring for on campus. Thank you Ms. Andi for safely delivering these plants and thank you SEEQers for adopting them!

Create an Emotional Charter to support the emotional needs of all in your household. At SEEQS, each advisory starts the year by creating its own charter. Our faculty creates its own charter, too! twitter.com/marcbrackett/s…

Our science-backed late school start was previously featured by @StartSchoolL8r. We've continued this during distance learning and students start their day with advisory at 10am! twitter.com/StartSchoolL8r…

Even as adults, iteration plays a big role in how we run our school. Thank you to the families who joined Thursday's Distance Learning focus group. Hearing from you helps us appreciate the many things that are working well while continuing to refine this experience for SEEQers!

Even in this distance learning environment, community comes first. Advisory groups are meeting online each morning to check in with the community they've built over the course of the year. Daily attendance has been strong and it is a joy to start each day together!
