Excellent information about Hawaii schools is available in various locations, e.g. web sites, on site at
schools, military organizations, etc. To ease the school transition stresses for students One of the best ways to reach families is electronically (e.g. web sites, interactive CDs, etc.) and through groups with access to newly arriving families, e.g. School Liaison Officers (SLO), sponsors, Family Service/Support Centers, spouse support groups (Ombudsman, Key Wives, Senior Spouses, etc.). A critical element is to ensure that parents are aware of a knowledgeable point of contact that links the families to the correct source for school information, e.g. SLOs. This web site has been developed by the School Liaison Offices of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines in Hawaii in cooperation with the Hawaii State Department of Education. It is intended to be an information center for military families enrolling children in Hawaii public schools. Please contact the Joint Venture Education Forum (JVEF) by email with suggestions and comments to make this web site more informative, timely, and useful.

Change of Station (PCS) move as possible. Prior to arrival, newly arriving parents have 'survival' needs
to address (e.g. transportation, finding a home, enrolling in school, etc.) that make it unrealistic to
attend an information session immediately upon arrival.
