Late Registration:
Late registrations will be accepted on a space-available basis at the discretion of GlobalX. Please email globalx@midpac.edu with the student's name, grade, and class desired. 

A $40.00 late fee per class may be assessed for accepted late registrations of ASC and GlobalXLP classes.

General Registration:
Registration for all Mid-Pacific GlobalX classes must be completed online through Mid-Pacific’s Global Exchange Academy registration portal. Telephone, email, or walk-in registrations will not be accepted. Please see the registration guide for registration instructions.

• All registrations for GlobalX classes will be processed through Mid-Pacific’s Global Exchange Academy registration portal. It is best that only one parent/guardian register their student. There is no advantage to both parents registering at the same time; in fact, it may prevent registration completion. All payments processed are in real-time.  A link to the registration form will be provided on the Global Exchange Academy Registration Portal Resource board on myPueo.

• Class confirmation: A confirmation will be sent to the email(s) provided on the registration form.

• Registration does not guarantee enrollment. Parents will receive confirmation of class enrollment. GlobalX reserves the right to cancel classes due to low enrollment.

•Classes may be canceled due to low enrollment. If a class is canceled, parents will be notified via email. GlobalX will assist in determining an alternative class, if available. A refund for the canceled class will be issued if an alternative class is not available.

• Waitlists: Classes fill up quickly. Although GlobalX makes every effort to place a student in their desired class, waitlists are processed as space becomes available. Multiple factors are taken into consideration when moving students off of the waitlist. 
       ⇒ If a class is full at the time of registration, you will see an orange indicator that says "Waitlist." To place your student on the waitlist, add the class to your cart. You will not be charged while on the waitlist.
       ⇒ Should a space become available, an email notification will be sent to the email address provided on the registration form. Payment must be made in full within one (1) business day of the email notification in order to secure a space in the class. A payment deadline will be provided. You will receive a notification if GlobalX is unable to accommodate a waitlist request.

• All students must be able to speak and understand English, with the exception of students enrolling in English Language Development (ELD) classes.

By registering for any GlobalX Summer Programs classes, you are agreeing to:
• Adhere to guidelines and policies outlined in the appropriate school handbooks (Preschool/Elementary School, Middle School, or High School) for your student
• Allow your student to participate in an activity with a mixed grade level grouping.
• Comply with the GlobalX policy that refunds for missed GlobalX classes due to illness or incomplete medical forms will not be issued. 
• Comply with the GlobalX policy that transitions to virtual instruction for specific or all classes in order to limit the spread of contagious disease at any time without advance notice and that tuition or fees will not be reduced, prorated, or refunded in the event of the School’s cessation of all or part of the After School Care and/or GlobalXLP.
• Have your student bring their own snacks and a refillable water bottle from home. Sharing of snacks is not allowed. We do not provide students with snacks. 
• All students must be able to speak and understand English, with the exception of students enrolling in English Language Development (ELD) classes.
• All students enrolling in on-campus programs, or as directed on other programs, are required to have medical insurance and show proof of immunization. Information on insurance and required health forms will be provided at the time of registration or see the section “Medical Form Requirements” below. Questions on requirements can be directed to globalx@midpac.edu

GlobalX reserves the right to cancel or alter programs to ensure a safe environment for our students,  families, faculty, and staff.

We understand that there may be situations that warrant the need to cancel classes and/or After School Care. Please fill out this change form if you wish to cancel GlobalX classes and/or After School Care.

Parents/guardians will be notified of the make-up class date(s).

GlobalXV courses may be canceled for a variety of reasons. If a virtual course is canceled, parents/guardians (or the student if they are an adult), will be notified via email as soon as possible. 

Attendance is taken daily. Please notify GlobalX at globalx@midpac.edu and the class instructor if your student will be absent from class. Parents will be contacted if a student is absent from their registered GlobalXLP class and is not on the absence list.

Elementary - Used for parent communication
Middle/High - Used for Program Resources, Assignments & Grading
Please refer to the Parent Overview or Student Overview for login instructions.

Students are expected to be respectful, caring, responsible, and safe while remembering to make good choices. Disruptive and disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. GlobalX  students are expected to follow the Mid-Pacific school rules as outlined in their Mid-Pacific grade-level handbooks. Consequences of unacceptable behavior in GlobalX classes may result in not being allowed to participate in future classes.

Safety is our utmost priority. A student who is consistently being disruptive and disrespectful creates an unsafe environment for students and staff.  Descriptions of behaviors that will require immediate attention:

• Any form of physical behavior that intentionally hurts another student or adult (e.g., kicking, hitting, spitting, arm twisting, poking)
• A student’s verbal response that is dismissive of staff directions
• Verbal putdowns, demeaning comments of others
• Verbal or physical threats of emotional or physical threatening harm to others 

Upon the first instance of any of the behaviors described above, the ASC Coordinator will speak to the child and contact parents about the behavior.  Parents and school will work together on discussing support for the student.

Should the behavior recur, the student will be removed from the group, and the parent will be required to pick up their child. 

The ASC Coordinator and school principal, in discussion with the parents,  will consider whether the child should continue to participate or be withdrawn from the GlobalX program. The school will make the final decision. 

There will be no refunds if this occurs after the refund period set in the above section(s).

Change of Status
If you have a change of status (e.g., name, marital status, phone numbers, or addresses), please email globalx@midpac.edu.

Communicating with Teachers
Open communication between parents/guardians and teachers is critical to your student’s development and success in our programs. The primary means for communication between parents and teachers is via Canvas, the Learning Management System used in each class. Information about how to contact teachers will be provided before the start of each course.

Changes in the student’s environment (e.g., a new sibling, moving to a new home, separation of parents/guardians, death in the family, etc.) can be very unsettling to the student. If we are aware of the situation, we can be more understanding and proactive in responding to your student. Your student may voice concerns about peer relationships. Let the teachers know what is happening so that these issues can be handled at school. Talk to the teachers if something is becoming a problem.

The use of Mid-Pacific's Internet and computing facilities/resources is a privilege, not a right. If a user violates any of these terms and conditions, disciplinary action and/or legal action may be taken. Click here for the current GlobalX Acceptable Use Policy (GXAUP)   for students.

Mid-Pacific Institute will not voluntarily become involved in child-custody disputes. It is our policy to require both parents/guardians, regardless of marital status, to attend parent/guardian conferences and to honor any court-dictated arrangements, such as the pick-up of a student from school. Our records, personnel, and resources are not available unless subpoenaed by the court. If requested in writing, we will send each parent/guardian a separate mailing of school information.

Our top priority is the health and welfare of our students. The faculty and staff will do what it takes to ensure the safety and well-being of the students.

To support the safety of students, please ensure that Mid-Pacific has your most up-to-date contact information. Please email globalx@midpac.edu with any changes.

We have regular fire drills, inspections by the Honolulu Fire Department, and conferences with State Health Department and Occupational Safety & Health Administration personnel as needed. We comply with Civil Defense regulations regarding hurricane and tsunami alerts. We also have emergency plans for bomb threats, lockdowns, and unauthorized-persons situations.

Please be advised that Mid-Pacific students will be held in safe areas until pick-up is deemed safe. In a true emergency situation, phone lines may be damaged or simply jammed with calls. Freeway driving may be congested, and traffic signals out.

In the event of an emergency please:
     1) Check midpac.edu for up-to-date information.
     2) Check for any emergency phone and/or text messages from school. Make sure to keep your emergency contact numbers current with the school.
     3) Listen to major radio stations or watch local TV news programs listed below for reports and announcements. Jamming roads and phone lines will not help in an emergency situation.

Radio: KSSK (AM 590/FM 92.3), KCCN (FM100), KINE (FM 105), KHVH (AM 830), KRTR (FM 96) or KUMU(FM 94.7)

TV: KHON, KGMB, KITV, or KHNL

Earthquake
Should an earthquake of significant magnitude occur on O’ahu, our school could be damaged. We can also anticipate considerable disruption to our road networks. If your children are at school, you may not be able to get to them. In preparation for an earthquake event, we will periodically conduct drills in conjunction with the sounding of the Civil Defense sirens. We will explain to the children that it is important for them not to panic at this time, that the earthquake will soon be over. If indoors, we will stay
indoors and take cover under desks, tables, supported doorways, etc. If outdoors, we will move away from the electrical lines. Following an actual earthquake, when the shaking has stopped, we will first treat anyone who is injured and then evaluate the structural integrity of the school. If our buildings are sound, we will remain in place and listen on our battery-operated portable radio for Civil Defense instructions. We have
made preparations to survive for up to 72 hours without outside assistance. If the school is damaged or could sustain damage as the result of an aftershock, we will do one of the following: We will move to the Mid-Pacific baseball field or Noelani School, which is the public evacuation shelter closest to our school, if we are able to transport the students to that location in safety. The choice will be dependent upon the situation.

Fire
Mid-Pacific has a fire evacuation plan, and we have monthly fire drills. For the Elementary/Preschool, the evacuation area is on the baseball field along the Maile Way fence. In the event of an actual fire, and should our buildings no longer be habitable, the school will call parents to pick up their children as soon as possible. Children will be temporarily housed in an undamaged facility on the school premises.

Flooding
The school is not located in an identified flooding zone.

Hurricane/Tropical Storm
Hurricane or tropical storm watches are issued by the National Weather Service 36 hours prior to the arrival of storm effects. Hurricane or tropical storm warnings are issued when one of these storms could affect O’ahu in 24 hours or less. When a watch is issued, Mid-Pacific will monitor the storm and make a decision to close before the issuance of a warning. The timing of the closure will generally coincide with the end of a normal working day and should not inconvenience parents if they are at work.

Lock-downs
At the first indication that an unauthorized person is on campus, teachers will verify that all students are in the classroom, lock classroom doors, and phone the office. The office staff may also phone the classroom with lock-down instructions. Children will remain in the classroom until given clearance by the office staff or principal to unlock classroom doors.

School Response to Emergency Situations
In emergency situations, school personnel will call parents or guardians first, then proceed to contact persons on the emergency form whom parents have authorized to act on their behalf if they cannot be reached. If parents/guardians or authorized persons on the emergency form cannot be reached, the school will contact the family physician, and the child will be taken by ambulance to Kapi’olani Women’s and Children’s Center. School personnel will accompany the child to the hospital and take along emergency release forms. Every effort will be made to contact parents/guardians. If a child is ill or injured, parents or guardians are notified immediately and will be
requested to pick up the child as soon as possible. The Preschool & Elementary School has a health room (with beds and an adjoining lavatory) where the child will stay with the registered nurse until pick-up.
An accident report will be prepared in duplicate; one copy is for the parent and one copy remains in the school files.
In addition to the health care provided by the Elementary School nurse, Preschool & Elementary School faculty and staff are certified every two years in CPR and Red Cross First Aid.

Tsunami
Our school is not located in a tsunami evacuation zone, so we do not have to evacuate.  The following procedures have been adopted in the event of a TSUNAMI WARNING:
a. If a WARNING is issued while school is in session, our teachers or supervisors will remain with the children until you can safely pick them up. You need not leave work or rush to school. If you are in or can get to a safe area close to where you work, it is recommended you remain in the safe area until the “all clear” is announced and avoid contributing to unnecessary traffic on roads and highways.
b. If a WARNING is issued before school begins, classes will be canceled and the school will be closed.

Health Services are available to the students on campus Monday through Friday, 7:30 am - 4:00 pm. There are no virtual health services available.

Keeping information up to date:
Be sure to completely fill out the medical form with any medical conditions and/or allergies that your student may have. This will help Mid-Pacific provide the safest environment for your student. Please also make certain that your parent contact information is updated in the registration portal so that you can be reached in the event of an emergency or illness situation. We require a local or domestic phone number at which we can reach you. 

Illness or Medical Emergency:
If a child is ill or injured, parents or guardians are notified and requested to pick up the child as soon as possible. In the event of a medical emergency such as a serious injury, we will call 911 for an ambulance, then call the parents (or whoever is listed on the contact card if we are unable to reach the parents) to meet us at Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children. The hospital, located at 1319 Punahou Street, is five minutes away from Mid-Pacific. A full -time registered nurse is on the elementary school campus.

Your child is allowed to return to school after an illness when the temperature has been normal unmedicated for 24 hours and there are no other symptoms (e.g, headache, frequent coughing, or muscle aches). If your child has these symptoms, you will be called to pick him up. This is to ensure the health of other students and the faculty/staff.

Please review the Mid-Pacific return to school guidelines and other health policies on the Health Center Resource Board on myPueo or on the student’s class Canvas page. 

In the event of a medical emergency, we will call 911 for an ambulance, then call the parents/guardians to meet us at the appropriate facility (likely Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women and Children).

Head Lice (ukus):
Ukus are an unpleasant hazard of school life in Hawai`i and you should check your student’s hair for them regularly. Should your student be found to have head lice, you will be notified by the nurse/health aide. Students are permitted to remain on campus and parents/guardians should provide treatment as soon as possible. We understand that treated hair may not be immediately cleared of lice debris. 

Medications:
Students must bring any medications they will be taking during the school day to the Health Center for their protection and safety. The medication must be in the original prescription container with written authorization and instructions from the physician (see Health Center web page for forms). Any changes in the medication must be communicated in writing with the nurse as soon as possible. Any medications not approved by the FDA cannot be stored or administered by the Health Center staff. This includes CBD oil-containing products, which are prohibited on campus. Any student who is found to be carrying controlled substances on campus may face disciplinary actions. Sharing of any medications by students is strictly forbidden and will result in disciplinary actions. Please check with the Health Center if you are not sure if your student’s medication is classified as a controlled substance.

Non-Mid-Pacific students are welcome to register for our GlobalXLP classes.   Please note that on-campus programs students will not be allowed to attend classes until all health requirements outlined below are met.  Medical forms are required each participating season.

We expect students to demonstrate respect, care, responsibility, and safety while making good choices. Disruptive and disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.  Students are required to follow the school rules as outlined in their Mid-Pacific Preschool and Elementary handbooks. Failure to adhere to these rules may result in the student being prohibited from participating in ASC. 

Be-Attitudes for Students                      
Attitude is everything. We try to encourage and frame situations and actions positively, with the idea that the child is empowered to make good choices. We hope that these three overarching attitudes — being respectful and caring, being responsible, and being safe — become the mindset for students at Mid-Pacific.

Our Be-Attitudes:

Be respectful and caring.

• Be respectful of yourself and others.
• Be honest.
• All students have the right to be safe and happy.
• People are not for hitting or hurting in any way.
• Adults who work at Mid-Pacific Preschool and Elementary School deserve respect.
• Everyone has a right to feel that his or her belongings are safe - take only what belongs to you.
• Use appropriate language.
• Be respectful of the classroom, materials, and school environment - our school is a special place for learning and fun.
• Protect the environment - pick up litter.
• Keep our walls and furniture clean.

Be responsible. 

• Arrive on time every day, ready and willing to learn.
• Attend all classes, chapel services, assemblies, and other required events as scheduled.
• Be prepared for class by bringing appropriate school supplies, completed assignments, and required books.
• Take pride in doing your own work rather than copying someone else’s work.
• Practice high standards of digital citizenship.
• Dress appropriately.

Be safe.

• Follow the playground rules.
• Everyone on a school bus has a right to be safe.
• Use only rooms or areas you have been given permission to use.
• Stay at school until you are picked up or have written permission from your parents to go elsewhere.
• Do not use weapons, drugs, or alcohol, and do not bring them to school. 

Many of the most serious, yet usually avoidable, social problems and accidents occur on the playground. Playtime can and should be a joyous time for students. By establishing rules, we hope to ensure the general safety of all students. Please review the playground rules with your children. 

Students who abuse playground privileges will be deprived of the privilege for a reasonable period of time, e.g., one recess for the first offense, etc. parent/guardians will be notified about frequent abuse. Please refer to the Code of Conduct for further information regarding rules and consequences.

At Mid-Pacific, we are committed to fostering a culture that emphasizes respect, responsibility, honesty, and cooperation, which are essential for fostering a conducive learning environment and cultivating a community of considerate global citizens. We believe in maintaining  a school environment where the dignity of every individual is respected. In their interactions with others, our students are encouraged to demonstrate courtesy and respect the diversity of ideas, backgrounds, and points of view within our community. 

Personal accountability serves as the foundation of our conduct philosophy. Each student is responsible for their  actions, recognizing that every choice has consequences that affect themselves and others. We endeavor to foster a sense of responsibility for one's learning, conduct, and contributions to our school community. 

Student conduct issues are approached from a restorative perspective, with an emphasis on understanding the causes of behavior, repairing harm, and fostering personal development. Students are provided with learning opportunities that enable them to make better decisions in the future. Our top priority is ensuring a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment. We strive  to create an atmosphere in which each student feels safe to learn, develop, and express themselves. Any conduct that jeopardizes the physical and emotional welfare of our students is unacceptable, and any violation of student conduct will result in a student being met with the discipline process.

Our campus security officers are present on campus to ensure overall security of the campus. However, formal adult supervision for students  is not offered before and after school hours. 

Occasionally we will distribute flyers for activities and events not affiliated with Mid-Pacific. These flyers are distributed at the discretion of the administration and are for informational purposes only; no endorsement or promotion of them is implied or intended. Mid-Pacific accepts no responsibility or liability for any claims arising from attendance at or participation in these events or activities.

Students should bring healthy snacks from home for mid-class breaks.
