Aloha all,

GEAR UP Manoa Parent Night Jan 2021

This months parent night is again in partnership with UH Hilo Counseling Center and our topic is resilience. Resilience is a personal trait that is expandable, something that is learned and can be built upon. Jan 27, 2021 6-7pm.

Now that we are going into a new year, we thought that it would be great to keep ourselves motivated and resilient. After the Holidays we all return to work or school a little refreshed from last year but we want to provide the tools, skills, and coping mechanisms to keep riding this renewed feeling well into the future.

We will be using some journaling techniques as well as S.M.A.R.T goal setting to help us keep our best foot forward and hopefully to guide our students to do the same.

If you are interested please register here.

Previous Parent Nights

GEAR UP Manoa in partnership with UH Hilo Counseling Center, Waipahu High School, Hilo High School, and Leilehua High School will be hosting another Virtual Parent Night on December 15, 2020 (6 pm - 7 pm). We will be addressing the topics of mental well-being, self-care and strategies to help us move forward and keep our minds sharp.

Unlike previous parent night topics about education, we will focus more on keeping yourself and your students encouraged and mindful of their current experiences at home and in their education. This parent night will be on a more serious note acknowledging the apparent COVID-19 and enforced lockdowns affect on our students learning and mental well-being.

We understand how it is very easy to lose momentum and fall off track in online learning and limited face-to-face human interaction. Although this is not a forever thing, it is important we learn to cope and handle the issues that have risen during this time.

We look forward to you joining us. Please do not hesitate to email us directly with any questions/concerns. Register by clicking here
