7th Grade Students Take a
Virtual Fieldtrip to the Pali
Lookout! This month our 7th grade Social Studies classes
were visited by Kauai Community College’s
Cognitive Learning Center STEM Outreach Pro-
gram. Students had an opportunity to experience
virtual technology firsthand. Using Samsung Gal-
axy phones and Head Mounted Displays
(HMD’s), 7th graders got to visit the site of the
famous Battle of Nu’uanu without leaving Kauai!
In addition to visiting a historic battlefield, stu-
dents experimented with other uses of virtual re-
ality including applications in healthcare, educa-
tion, and entertainment. If you would like more
information about the COG program please con-
tact Trineen at [email protected]. CKTV News In case anyone missed the September
premiere of "Aloha Atlanta," an inside
look at our trip to the Student Television
Network National Convention through the
eyes of our CKTV Media students, here is

Note to All 6th Graders
Please complete at least 4 TeenBiz activi-
ties per month at 75% or higher on the first
try. Also, make sure you are typing with the
correct finger positioning so eventually you'll
be able to type without looking at the key-
board.
Parents, feel free to ask your child to show
you their TeenBiz online account with any de-
vice. You will be able to see the topics they
are reading about, their achievements, and
scores.
Donations
Aloha Parents and Guardians,
Many of you placed a check mark next to the
“Donate $$ toward assisting students” section on the be-
ginning of the year PCNC blue sheet. Some did not re-
turn the donation with the form. If you would like to do-
nate, please make a check out to CKMS and give it to the
office for the PCNC box so I can generate a receipt for
you. If you give cash, make sure your name is on the en-
velope!
