Withdraws

A custodial parent or legal guardian must withdraw the student.  The Withdrawal Form can be completed ahead of time and can be mailed / faxed / emailed or brought in to us.  The legal parent or guardian must make an appointment to finalize the withdrawal process in person (a government-issued picture ID will be required). 

Parents/Guardians should enroll their student at the new school within:

• a few days if enrolling on Hawai'i island

• one (1) week if enrolling on another Hawai'i island

• two (2) weeks if enrolling out of state

Students will not be released from HAAS until the withdrawal process is complete and we receive a notice of enrollment from the receiving school. 

Keep in mind that all absences accumulated due to moving schools is subject to the State of Hawaii's compulsory attendance law (Hawaii Revised Statutes 302A-1132) and can be viewed here.  Absences due to moving that become chronic absentees may be referred to Family Court. Pursuant to H.R.S. 571-11(2), Family Court can place a child under jurisdiction for truancy if the child is not attending school or is not receiving the educational services required by law.
