*Exit Surveys will go out to students at the end of April. This document is required from each student as it plays a vital role in our data retrieval and IB destination notification. The top portion will ask simple questions pertaining to plans post high and the bottom portion will be scholarship reporting. Please remind students to report ALL scholarship offers. The three items I will need:
1. Name of Scholarship
2. Amount of Scholarship
3. Vendor/College who is providing/sponsoring scholarship
*Some students have applied to many schools and will receive various scholarships, report all this information*
* As students make a final decision please update their Scoir account.
College Fairs Returning in April
It has been a long time coming and I am happy to announce there will be two (in-person) college fairs on Oahu in late April. These types of events have always been a great resource as students research and discover the various colleges and universities available to them. They are FREE events and open to students and/or parents.Typically, the representatives at the fairs will be the contact during the admission process so it is a great time for students to introduce themselves, while making a favorable "first" impression.
Students can register for the fair with StriveScan
Both the college fair and StriveScan are free! Please encourage students to register with StriveScan prior to the college fair to minimize wait times. Once a student has registered with StriveScan, they will be sent (either email or text depending on their preference) a barcode that colleges will scan during the fair. 24 hours after the fair, students will receive an email with helpful information and links to the colleges they connected with during the fair. Registration link: https://app.strivescan.com/registration
To better prepare our students, I will be hosting different lunchtime presentations on how best to manage and maneuver a college fair and what types of questions to even ask. Once I confirm the dates I will email our student body directly.

Class of 2023
Individual college meetings continue into April as I work through the entire grade level. I am down to about 15 more juniors. Please help me by talking with your son or daughter to see if they have scheduled their meeting yet. If they haven't, encourage them to either stop by my office (407-A) or send me an email to schedule our meeting. Thank you for your help.
