My child attends Waialae Charter Elementary School, so I can explain the special features in detail.

① There are no so-called textbooks, and learning is mainly done using printouts and ipads.
➁All classes other than core subjects are taught by a full-time teacher who goes to each classroom. Hawaiiana, Music, Art, Aina, STEAM,
③ There is no so-called gifted and talented program to attract children who can study well. I have the impression that many children are enrolled in the GE program. There are a few students from the Mainland. The overwhelming majority of middle students are from Kaimuki Middle School. The charter middle in Nuuanu is also popular. Of course, there are children who go on to private schools.
④ After-school program （ W ＋ ） is staffed by a full-time, school-appointed staff member who can keep children until 5:30. ＄ 170/month. Sibling discount. Often available when school is not in session （ for an additional fee ）, and there is also a program that provides childcare for about 4 weeks during the 2-month summer vacation. This is great for co-workers as there are many options to keep them at school.
⑤ Compared to other public elementary schools, the new school year starts about 5 days earlier, but the winter break is 3 weeks longer.
⑥ Depending on the homeroom teacher, many classes have only reading homework, making it easier to learn.
⑦ Drop-off and pick-up by car is possible, rarely very congested.
⑧ Experienced staff who connect parents with the school for various questions are available in a timely manner.

I get the impression that the school emphasizes concepts, approaches, and collaboration among students rather than memorization and repetitive drills.
Perhaps because the emphasis is on students with various characteristics learning from each other's strengths, there is a tendency not to evaluate children solely on the basis of whether they can or cannot study, and as a parent who has received a traditional education, you may be concerned because there are few tests or homework assignments However, our students seem to be enjoying school in a relaxed and enjoyable manner.
Perhaps because many parents are eager to educate their children, some parents who feel that their children are lacking in studies send them to Kumon or provide them with private tutors.

Parent-led activities are also very active, and opportunities abound for parents who want to get involved in school events.

It is a good idea to go to the school's information sessions to get a feel for the atmosphere. When I attended one, I was impressed by the principal who said, "Wai'alae is a public school like a private school. In the end, I decided that I liked the atmosphere of the school and I was sure that my child would be happy to attend. My kids have thanked me （ lol ）.

In my case, I talked to mothers who had older children and also went on a tour of schools I was interested in. I think you should go on a tour. School events （ such as funfairs ） are open to everyone, not just current students and others involved, so I think you should go.

Thank you ！ Is the tour something you ask the school for personally ？ or is there a call for group tours ？
I see there is a funfair. I did a search and found past events so I don't want to miss this year's.

Dear Topic

｢ Sean0914, did you gather information by talking to someone who attended the school ？
or did you visit the school staff room ？ ｣

#3?


We attended school fairs, checked out the atmosphere and programs, and
talked to parents before deciding on GE. \cHB2}

I gathered information when I attended the fair.

In my son's case,
the school he crossed over to had a lot of homework anyway to keep his level up, and I think it was pitiful ？.
However, I really appreciated the Japanese class in the class.
but now I have forgotten all about it.

You can call directly to the school you are interested in and ask about both the funfair and the school tour. The office is busy in the morning, so about a somewhat calmer time. We had one school that we removed from our GE list just because the office staff was so arrogant. We took our kids to both the fair and the school tour, and decided on both Elementary and Middle based on the school's surroundings and our kids' reactions as our first priority.

Visits are scheduled on a specific date and time for each school.
There is an orientation at that time, and the principal will talk to you about the school's features and what they focus on. In addition to the funfair, there are other events such as Halloween that outsiders are free to attend, so please go there.

Experience.
I waited over 2 years ！ I couldn't believe it ！
I had to go renew my drivers license every year for 2 years because my green card was expired … It was really hard.

If you call USCIS and say Lost number, it should connect you to a person in charge. My friend got connected right away, but I had to call several times before I finally got through. After explaining the situation, they will start the process of renewing your renewal acceptance letter again. You will be contacted by a representative in a few weeks to a month … I believe it was via email.
Go to the office around Kakaako on the day of your appointment and they will stamp your passport for renewal on the spot.

In my case, I received my green card just in time for the renewal date.

I don't know if it will connect since it was a few years ago, but please try it once and I wish you a speedy delivery of your green card ！

Thanks for the reply.
The Consulate of San Francisco has jurisdiction over Nevada.
Last year it was not Corona related, but every year the people at the San Francisco Consulate
would travel to Las Vegas to provide processing services.
I thought that Vegas residents had to be in San Francisco, but
maybe the consulate in LA can do it ？
I'll ask next time.

You can probably baby-sit Japanese children.
Once you get used to it, you can earn quite a bit of money if you take care of several of them together at home. Home daycare center. It is a splendid entrepreneurship.

Yes, daycare centers that care for children in Los Angeles must be licensed. In California, child care centers and day care facilities must follow state regulations and obtain the appropriate licenses.1 This ensures that children receive care in a safe and appropriate environment.

My children are now independent, but when they were young, I worked part-time for a major Japanese travel agency. Since the company had a large number of employees, many of those without children or those who had finished raising their children preferred to take weekdays off, and many of them avoided the high season when they temporarily returned to Japan, so it was easy for me to take time off to coincide with my children's vacation, even while raising my children.

I was able to find a preschool where I could leave my child for half a day or only a few times a week, instead of every day, and I was able to save money on preschool because I could leave my child there on my own time.

Once they start going to school, afterschool programs such as A-Plus allow you to leave your child with them directly after school until the evening. We also had them participate in child care programs during long breaks such as spring and winter break. If you do a search, you will find many different places that offer fun programs. However, only during winter vacation, most child care services are closed between Christmas and New Year's Day, so they cannot take care of children. I am glad that I was able to work even a little while my children were young so that I could increase the amount of pension I would receive in my old age.

It certainly seems like a company with a lot of employees would have an easier time getting time off for vacations. Some people want weekdays off. ！
I know A Plus exists, but I am concerned because I have heard from someone with an elementary school child that there are not enough teachers for the number of people who want to be placed there and they are not in a position to accept all who wish to be there.
I see that there is also a child care program. Well, I think it will be a little while before we can find out that much more about the post-kindergarten thing, because I think the situation will change by then. There is also the possibility of another Corona-like situation coming. So it gets difficult during the New Year's holiday. In that case, I guess we would have to hire a sitter. But if your child is around 12 years old, you can leave the child at home and go to work.

Until my kids went to pre, I worked from home plus nights. I had a sales job that allowed me to work short hours after my husband, who worked full time, came home. It was a time when I didn't have the luxury of being too choosy about what I did.

After I was able to send my child to pre, I was able to get a job that I wanted to do and that allowed me to utilize my skills. Although the working environment is client-driven, I feel very secure in my mentality while raising my children. Good luck ！

If you don't mind my asking, I would like to ask what kind of work you do at the school. If it is a public school, did you find the position on the DOE website and apply for it? ？ I have called the school directly and was told that they could not help me and that I would have to apply for the position if it was available.

Honey bee, I think it would be a good idea to describe your internet usage.
The speed you need will depend on how many people are using it, whether you do streaming, etc.

By the way, I am in an old apartment in the McCully area, so I don't have access to HT's blazing fast connection, 50 Mbps (about 20 Mbps actual), but it is fast enough for watching YouTube by myself.
The price would be $ 70 or so for the regular service, but when I told them that Spectrum's service with the same speed was $ 25, they discounted it to $ 30.

We switched to T-mobile internet this year. We used to use Spectrum or Hawaiian Telcom internet, but both of these companies become expensive after the 2 year promotion period, but T-mobile has ＄ 40 ～ ＄ 50 with no extra fee. It seems like this price is still the same after all these years. We consistently get 200Mbps speeds at home. Other than that, the best thing about T-mobile is that I can set it up myself without having to call a technician to set it up. I can take it home and set it up and try it out for 15 days to test speeds, etc.

I have been using HT for almost 20 years. Formerly in Makiki and now in Ala Moana.HT has a lot of problems to say the least. When my neighbors get up in the morning or come home from work and everyone else is using the internet, it cuts out quite frequently （, stays offline for 30 minutes at worst, or mumbles finely about 30 times an hour ）, and the speed becomes extremely slow and unusable. So last year, I asked them to increase my Mbps, but the person in charge did not show up at the appointed time, so I made a new appointment, but that day also ended up with no show. During that time, I had no internet for about two weeks, which was really inconvenient for me because it interfered with my work. I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that an acquaintance's father had worked for HT for a long time, but switched to Spectrum right after he retired because he still had many problems with the internet. However, the good thing about HT is that the price is negotiable, so you can get a much lower price ？. 566>" and they will give you a surprisingly low price. If you still feel that the price is too high, they have a loyalty ・ discount, which allows you to get a further discount under the authority of the person answering the phone, so if you push again, they will give you an even lower price.
