Mrs. Dell
Hello! I'm Lisa Dell. I have taught at Waiau off and on for more than 20 years. There is truly something special about this learning community and I hope to be a part of the faculty for many more years! This is my second year serving as school counselor. As counselor, I support students and families to help make sure students are set up for success in school. I meet with families, students, and student groups as needed to support a variety of needs. As a supplement to our school's social emotional learning program, Choose Love, I visit each classroom twice a quarter to teach social emotional learning lessons. Ask your child about the coping strategies we practice for handling big feelings!
In addition, I am the teacher sponsor for Hui Malamalama and Hui Aloha, our student leadership teams. We have some bright young leaders at Waiau and I enjoy seeing them use their voice to influence our school culture!
Personally, I have two adult children who once attended Waiau! My daughter lives in Denver and is a teacher. My son lives here on Oahu and is a managing editor of a magazine and a pastor of a church in Manoa. I love reading, hiking, and traveling with my husband.

- My name is Lisa Dell and I am one of Waiau Elementary's fifth grade teachers. I have been teaching for 21 years, most of them here at Waiau. I feel blessed to work with the wonderful Waiau community of staff and families. Teaching reading is my passion and there is nothing I enjoy more than encouraging students to become life-long readers.Fifth grade is a busy year filled with reading and writing about great books, building on math skills learned in previous grades, learning about American history, and exploring scientific concepts with hands-on activities.
