Dear Parents and/or Guardians:
During the week of December 8-12, 2014 we will be focusing
our attention on “College and Career Readiness”.
At school we are starting the students off on the road to
success with the academic skills of reading, writing and math. We also teach, reinforce and encourage our
students to follow and live our 6 Pillars of Character. In promotion of this event, we are taking it
one step further helping students develop an awareness that what they are
learning and the behavioral choices they are making can have an impact upon
their future. We would like to enlist your support in this venture.
We are asking for you to share with your child at home what
you do and what you have accomplished in order to succeed at your job. This includes any training and or schooling you
have completed. Your child is already
proud of you as their parent, with this sharing I know that each child will
beam even more.
We will be having various speakers come into the school to
speak about their career. These speakers
will be sharing about what they do and they will be including an added emphasis
on the education that has been required to be completed in order to succeed in
their chosen field. We are also asking
the speakers to include any of our pillar traits that are necessary as
well.
A bulletin board will be set up in the cafeteria. It contains a world and USA map of the technical
schools, colleges and universities our Mililani ‘Ike staff has graduated
from. Each location will note down the
name of the school and the degree and the number of graduates from that
school. Please feel free to stop by and
take a look. We not only believe in
teaching your child, we are also committed to continuing our own
education.
Lastly, your child is welcome to wear a college shirt during
the week of December 8-12. Our school
staff is being encouraged to wear them as well.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our
counselors, Mr. Steve Nakaguma or Mrs. Rosanne Oda-Ching. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Lynne
