Uniform shirts are mandatory. The intent of the policy is to foster a sense of school identity, pride and unity. Keonepoko Elementary School T-Shirts promote a positive and safe school environment, provide a viable alternative to the high cost of student clothing, and encourage positive student behavior. Students are expected to abide by the policy Monday through Thursday. School shirts shall not be altered, and undergarments should not be visible. Any other t-shirt with Keonepoko Elementary logo and/or design will be allowed. Fridays will be “FREE DRESS DAY”. “Free Dress” apparel must meet the Keonepoko Elementary dress code. See 1-7 below.

Field trips: Students are required to wear Keonepoko T-Shirts on all field trips.

Noncompliance: Each failure to comply with school dress policy will be considered an act of insubordination and documented which could result in disciplinary action. Students who are not dressed in a school shirt Monday-Thursday will be provided a Keonepoko uniform t-shirt for the day.
