Parents and Children Together (PACT) has partnered with the Kaimuki-McKinley-Roosevelt Complex Area to offer a 15-week course for EL parents to learn about helping their EL students succeed in school. These sessions are facilitated by PACT Sundays Project staff and will be held VIRTUALLY via Zoom in the 2nd semester of this school year.

All EL parents are invited to participate, however the target audience is Chuukese and Marshallese parents, so interpreters for those languages will be provided at every session.

1. Be fully vaccinated before the return flight to Hawaii and show proof of vaccination to the school; or
2. Test for COVID-19 (2 steps)
a. Students ages 5 and older must show proof of:
i. Safe Travels pre-travel test result and

The school may request documentation of COVID-19 vaccination, test results, diagnosis, and/or travel itinerary. If health information is provided, it must be stored like a medical record. If documentation is not provided to the school, the student who traveled out of state may be required to wait 10 days after returning to Hawaii before attending class in-person.
