DRESS CODE AND STUDENT APPEARANCE
Ma’ili Elementary School believes that the standard of dress and grooming should be the primary responsibility of the parents and students as well as the staff members and other adults who work or volunteer at Ma’ili Elementary and with the understanding that appropriate clothing and grooming reflect good taste, does not violate rules of decency, does not offend the standards of others, nor distract from the educational program. Administrators may make exceptions to the dress code on an individual basis in order to accommodate extenuating circumstances.
