HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR IC APP?  
There are a couple of new and recent issues if your app is not working... Try these 
things... If it cannot verify you as a user get on a computer and log in. You may
be asked to update your contact email or change your password. Remember, your 
Kahuku Gmail will not work as an IC recovery email! No person outside of the Kahuku
Google system can email a student's gmail. If your app is asking for a district to search 
for, type "Hawaii" as the district name and then select the only entry that pops up. Email 
me on your Kahuku gmail if you need more help.   M. Jackson
