Hawaii Convention Center Over 160 colleges from all over the state and mainland will be at the Honolulu National College

Fair at the Hawaii Convention Center. The military, trade schools, and agencies providing financial aid and scholarships to seniors will also be there. An evening session is scheduled for

students and parents to attend when more individual attention is available. Great time to pick up information and brochures and to meet representatives from these colleges.

Come to the CCTC to pick up a permission form to attend this field trip. Priority will be given to seniors and juniors but anyone can attend.

ASVAB Test – Thursday, Oct. 29th Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Students can sign up to take the ASVAB on October 29th. The test will be administered by the military in the auditorium. Students interested in joining the military must score well on the ASVAB. You can start taking the ASVAB from your sophomore year and retake the ASVAB each year to try to get a higher score. If you want to take the test, stop by the CCTC and pick up a permission form. Taking the ASVAB does

not mean you will be enlisting in the military. But an aptitude test can be a very

helpful tool to discover what types of careers you might be best suited for.

After graduates have had time to greet and meet their family and friends at Waikiki Shell, they will be transported from the Shell for dinner and entertainment planned by the Project Grad committee. Project Graduation is drug-free and alcohol-free! We want to make our seniors’ last night, a safe and fun time to remember. Cost is $175 until March 15th. Price will increase to $200 after March 15th. Turn in your registration form and fee to Mr. Schemel in the CCTC.

The Honolulu District is proud to present our annual series of Monthly Parent

Informational Sessions. Parents/Guardians will have the opportunity to

participate in parent sessions that will support the emotional, behavioral and

educational development of their children. School and parent partnerships

increase the opportunities for our students to succeed educationally and become

independent, college & career ready upon graduation.

Below is a listing of sessions that are scheduled for this school year. Please

make plans to attend all the sessions that you are interested in. Flyers will be

sent out for each monthly session through your child’s school. We look forward

to meeting you!

College Career Transition Center (CCTC) Mr. Tom Schemel, our post-high school counselor, updates our school’s website with current information about college representatives coming to visit Kaimuki High School and scholarship opportunities & deadlines. Seniors should also check their emails each week for announcements about upcoming events. Parents are also encouraged to keep connected to assist their children in taking advantage of the many resources and opportunities available to our students. Just email Mr. Schemel

and he will add you to his contact list. When your child gets an email announcement, so will you! Contact Mr. Schemel at: [email protected]. If you do not have internet access, seniors are advised to drop in and visit the CCTC regularly to check on new scholarship postings, college visitations and presentations.

Preparing for the COMPASS Test The COMPASS is a computer-based test. You can access a calculator on

the computer and you will be given scratch paper to work out your math problems. Take your time – this is not a timed test. The computer will determine whether to give you more difficult questions and when to stop the test. Here are a list of websites that provide practice questions

that you might encounter on the COMPASS Test. The CCTC also has COMPASS study guides available for students to borrow.

College Opportunities Program (COP) University of Hawaii at Manoa

Some of our students want to attend the University of Hawaii at Manoa after high school. However, to be

accepted at UH-Manoa, students need to meet certain UH requirements: (SAT scores of 510-510-510, Algebra II, GPA 2.8). The College Opportunities Program allows students

who do not meet these requirements an opportunity to attend UH-Manoa. Students (and parents) must complete an application form and students must get letters of

recommendations from their teachers. A personal essay is also required. Students from across the state will be selected. Students must then pass a 6-week summer program. Expenses are paid during the summer program, including room and board. If a student passes the summer program, he/she is then

admitted to the University of Hawaii-Manoa! The COP staff continues to provide support to COP students while attending UH.

For on-line application and deadline and for more information, go to: http://www.hawaii.edu/cop/students/apply.php
