Student Dress Code and School Uniform

In our goal towards maintaining a safe and emotionally stable campus for our students, our school had adopted a school uniform shirt. Students must wear their school uniform with footwear daily. School uniform shirts may be purchased at the school office.

The following guidelines are to be followed:

1. Students should be groomed and neat at all times.

2. No drug, alcohol, tobacco-related, or sexually provocative attire.

3. The length of shorts and tops should not distract or impede the learning of others.

4. No backless, revealing, or see-through attire. No attire with large armholes

5. Tank top undershirts cannot be used alone as an outer garment.

6. Baseball caps, hats, sunglasses, and the hoods of sweaters/jackets/coats must be worn outside only.

Waiver Policy & Exceptions

HIDOE policy requires a provision allowing parents to request a waiver to the wearing of the uniform. Waivers must be renewed each year and are granted on a case-by-case basis by the Principal for the following reasons:

• Financial hardship.

• Medical reasons establishing a student's intolerance to the standard uniform.

Generally, parents who wish to exempt their child from wearing a school uniform must:

• Request an official Application for Exemption form from the school's main office.

• Complete and return the form to the administration.

• Meet briefly with the principal or vice-principal to discuss the policy and establish what alternative, appropriate attire the student will wear instead.

Dress Code for Waiver Students: If a waiver is granted, the "Blanche Pope Ke Kula Kaiapuni o Waimānalo Dress Code" applies in its entirety.

• Boys: May wear T-shirts, polo shirts, or dress shirts. No tank tops, offensive logos.

• Girls: May wear T-shirts, polos, blouses, skirts, skorts, or dresses. No spaghetti straps (straps must be 2+ inches) or strapless tops.
