Job Description

ALOHA and WELCOME to Major General William R. Shafter Elementary School!

Our school has served military families residing on Fort Shafter Army Post since 1951. Of the school’s current student population, approximately 95% are Army and Navy dependents of military personnel based in Hawaii who reside in either Ft. Shafter base housing or Navy housing located at Radford Terrace. The school’s current student enrollment in grades K-6, is approximately 415.

Shafter is one of the few Hawaii elementary schools to be accredited and awarded six years of accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), since January 2010. The school recently completed a full accreditation review and WASC visit in April 2022 and was accredited for another 6 years, through June 2028.

Shafter Elementary is part of the Moanalua Complex where all schools work together in an effort to become a high performing complex. We continue to achieve Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and based on our Standards Based Assessment (SBA) scores, we were awarded Recognition status on Hawaii's Strive HI report. (Click here for Strive HI)

Shafter’s academic K-6 goals are based on the national Common Core State Standards. Our PreK program for our students with disabilities follows the HELDS.

In addition, all classrooms practice the following school-wide instructional strategies:
TRIBES
Thinking Maps
Singapore Math
Wonders Reading Program
Under the Hawaii Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, we also implement inclusive practices, co-teaching and differentiation to address the specific needs of all General Education, Special Education, English Language Learner, Disadvantaged, and Gifted and Talented students.

Shafter has many co-curricular activities to promote student engagement. A few of these are as follows:
Student Council
Junior Police Officers (J.P.O.)
Kids Heart Challenge
Aloha Ambassadors
Tech Club

It truly does “take a village” to nurture the academic, social and emotional growth of each student. The active support of every role group in our Shafter community enables ALL students to stretch their individual potential to “Accept the Challenge and Soar!”
