Uniform and Dress Code School uniforms are a long-standing tradition and a part of daily life at St. Andrew’s Schools. Uniforms reinforce a sense of belonging, equity, educational focus, and community identity. Students dress in accordance with the Student Dress Code or all school-related activities and functions, on and off campus. Individual requests for temporary exemptions should be stated in writing by the student’s parents or guardian and presented to the School Principal for approval upon the student’s arrival at school. Because our students represent the image of St. Andrew’s Schools in the community, they should wear the uniform properly and with dignity. This includes all times the student is on campus or off campus, as well as before, during, and after school. It is expected that each student’s appearance will reflect the school’s highest standards and school pride. The uniform has two basic styles specified by grade levels. The Chapel Uniform is to be worn by all students on all chapel days and special function days, field trips/learning trips (huakaʻi) unless otherwise indicated. The Standard Uniform is to be worn for all other regular school days. Seniors may wear their Senior Mod attire on regular school days unless otherwise instructed. All uniform pieces (except certain sweatshirts) may be purchased from the uniform distributor listed below. DENNIS Uniforms Nā Lama Kukui, Suite 107C 560 North Nimitz Hwy.
