Surveys: We request that you and your participating child/children provide information in response to surveys we distribute twice per year ( parent and student surveys, pre and post) which ask questions about your child/children’s social-emotional skills, interests in careers and academic subjects, engagement in school and out-of-school activities, familiarity with community and culture, and how they feel about their experiences in Mālama / Lokahi 21st.

Benefits and Risks: Your feedback helps positively influence the program structure and design, and may benefit society if the results lead to a better understanding of how to design a place-based science program for middle and high school students with strong academic and personal outcomes. Whether or not your child chooses to participate in this study will not impact his or her relationship to the School as a student. The risks of participation are minimal.

Confidentiality and Privacy: All data will be kept confidential, in a secure location, and stored in a password-protected electronic file system. All data will be destroyed upon completion of the program and will be kept confidential to the extent allowed by law. No personal information will be included with the results.

Voluntary Participation: Participation in Mālama 21st / Lokahi 21st is completely voluntary, and you and your child/children can choose freely whether to participate.
