What does ‘ohana pod mean?
An ‘ohana pod is a small group of students from different households coming together to receive support from a caring adult in their ‘ohana pod hui. The intent of pods is to build mutual support while minimizing the potential spread of Covid-19.
Pods can help students and families share ideas, get resources like school supplies and materials and get a tutor to help with school work. ‘Ohana pods can also include activities outside of academics like: social skills, physical activities, etc. These options exist virtually or online and in-person in the community.
Why form an ‘ohana pod?
Hybrid and digital learning can be challenging for our keiki. You help decide if the pod meets in-person or as an online group.
This sounds like something I’m already doing, why should I consider a pod?
You might have already started an ‘ohana pod, but don’t call it that. You might be sharing tasks with family friends in supporting your keiki. If this is something you are doing, we would like to help others learn from your experiences so they can start their own ‘ohana pod or we might be able to support you in getting connected to resources for your pod.
