Pālolo Elementary School

In-class & After-school Programs

PaloloEl PaloloEl2 PaloloEl3

These programs are designed to provide students with the extra help they need to succeed in school. Participating students are in kindergarten through grade 5 and have either solicited extra help on their own, or have been asked by the faculty to attend .
Many of Pālolo El's keiki are challenged by poverty, cultural & linguistic differences, and a lack of preparation for learning in the state educational system
The program’s kids excelled at state Chess and speech competitions! They wish to expand activities to incorporate dance and musical instruments.
Pālolo El strives to keep meeting the state’s standards in math & reading.
