‘IOLANI’S HISTORY is closely interwoven with the story of
Hawai‘i. In 1862, following a plea from King Kamehameha IV
and Queen Emma to the Church of England, the rst Anglican
bishop and priests arrived to establish the Diocese of Honolulu. By
1863, Father William R. Scott had secured property and begun
Lua‘ehu School in Lahaina, Maui. is was the beginning of the
present ‘Iolani School.
When Father Scott returned to England due to illness, Bishop
omas Nettleship Staley sent Father George Mason to relieve
him. Father Mason continued to operate the school his predecessor
founded. In 1870, when Bishop Staley left Honolulu, Father
Mason was called back to the capital city. At this time, the school
was moved to Honolulu. at same year, Queen Emma bestowed
on the school the name ‘Iolani, meaning “heavenly bird.”
Dr. Sun Yat-sen was 14 years old when he attended the school
from 1879 to 1882. He was known as Sun Tai Cheong at the time
and is now often referred to as the “Father of Modern China.”
When the revolution put an end to the Hawaiian monarchy, and
Hawai‘i was annexed by the United States, control of the Diocese
of Honolulu passed into the hands of the Episcopal Church. ‘Iolani
moved from its Nu‘uanu Valley home to St. Andrew’s Cathedral,
where it remained until 1927 when it returned to Nu‘uanu. ‘Iolani
continued to function there until 1953 when the school fully
relocated to its present campus location near the Ala Wai Canal.
e Lower School moved to the Ala Wai campus in 1946.
From a small mission school for young men founded during the
reign of King Kamehameha IV, ‘Iolani has grown into one of the
largest and nest independent schools in the U.S. In the fall of
1979, ‘Iolani began admitting girls and is now fully co-educational.
‘Iolani remains rmly rooted in traditions related to the Episcopal
Church.
Students of diverse racial and religious heritage currently attend
the school’s 13 grades — kindergarten through 12. e students
work through a curriculum preparing them for college, but the
school also strives — through its academic, arts, athletic, and
extracurricular programs — to intensify and broaden the capacities
of its students so they are prepared for the changing world that
awaits them, equipped with healthy social-emotional skills, and
moved by a strong sense of personal worth and responsibility to
mankind.
e sustaining heart of a school is its faculty. ‘Iolani’s teachers
come from across the U.S. and around the world. ey bring a
wealth of experience and background to the community and are
committed to their students.
History of ‘Iolani School
Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom and goodness;
We beseech ee to regard with favor and to visit with y
blessing, this school of Christian learning and truth. Endue
its teachers with wisdom and sympathy, with patience and
right judgment; And to all its pupils grant y fatherly
care and protection. Give us a spirit of cheerful obedience,
of faithful industry, of unselsh consideration, and of
kindly courtesy. Guide us by y Holy Spirit into the paths
of truth and goodness, that we may grow in grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
‘Iolani School Prayer
O ‘Iolani, at thy call we gather,
To pledge anew our loyalty and love.
Bound fast to thee by bonds no power can sever,
We rise for thee, our rm faith to prove.
We will stand strong and with proud hearts salute thee;
Love stands supreme, our faith shall not move.
Here friendships weave their mystic strands forever,
A fellowship that time shall not defy;
Here dreams of youth take shape and spring to being,
Eternal as the earth, sea and sky.
With vision clear, our minds, our hearts stand open;
We will keep faith, our love shall not die
– Words by Rev. Albert H. Stone (Music to Finlandia)

of illness. Students who do not feel well at the beginning of the
school day should stay at home the entire day.

injury. If your child will be absent due to illness or injury, please

DAY ADMISSION
‘Iolani School oers challenging academics, competitive athletics,
and exciting performing and visual arts programs in a stimulating
and supportive environment. Total enrollment is approximately
2,200 students, with about 700 students in the Lower School and
1,500 students in the Upper School. e average class size is 16,
and students enjoy a 10:1 student-teacher ratio. Since admission
to ‘Iolani is selective, an early application is recommended.
Approximately 300 new students from diverse economic, cultural,
and religious backgrounds are admitted to ‘Iolani each year.
Students enter at kindergarten, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth
grades, and occasionally at grades 10 and 11.
When considering applicants for admission to ‘Iolani, the
Admission Committees look for academic promise and
achievement, co-curricular involvement, creativity, good
character, and the desire for a college-preparatory education. e
committees select students who will benet most from the ‘Iolani
program and who, in turn, will contribute to the life of the school.
Essential to the admission process are the student’s academic
records, teacher recommendations, and test scores. Kindergarten
candidates come to campus on two occasions: once for an
individually administered aptitude test and a second time for a
group readiness test. Students applying to grades six through
11 take the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). Personal
interviews, group activities, and writing samples are part of the
admission procedure for grades 6 -11.
After a student is oered admission, a signed enrollment

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ADMISSION
AND ENROLLMENT
As a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-designated
school, ‘Iolani School must verify the appropriate visa status
of all international students. After initial verication, it is the
responsibility of the student’s family to maintain acceptable legal
status.
An incoming international student must have an acceptable non-
immigrant visa to attend school in the United States. Verication
takes place after the student is accepted and throughout their
enrollment at ‘Iolani. In addition, an international student in the
day program must live with at least one parent on a full-time basis
for the entire time they attend ‘Iolani.
e purpose of this policy is to determine potential diculties and
to avoid delays, disruption, or negative perceptions or penalties
should federal authorities determine that a student is unauthorized
to be in the U.S.
ADMISSION
e ‘Iolani School admission application asks for the applicant’s
country of citizenship.
If the applicant is not a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident,
the applicant must include their visa type and visa number on the
application, if available.
After acceptance, ‘Iolani School determines if the student possesses
the appropriate visa status to attend school in the U.S. As a SEVP-
approved school, ‘Iolani is able to accept students for enrollment
on an F-1 visa. Other visas may also be accepted for study at ‘Iolani
pending verication with the proper authorities.
ENROLLMENT
Once an international student is accepted, it is the family’s
responsibility to inform the school of any material changes to the
student’s immigration status. It is also the sole responsibility of the
student and family to properly maintain the student’s legal status in
the U.S. Failure to do so aects the student’s enrollment at ‘Iolani
and can result in the termination of enrollment (until the student
obtains proper status).
‘Iolani School retains the right to review a student’s immigration
status and to take appropriate action in each situation.

ATHLETICS
An important aspect of ‘Iolani School is the One Team philosophy
pioneered by the late Father Kenneth A. Bray, who served as
‘Iolani’s rst athletic director from the 1930s through the 1950s.
It was also perpetuated by the late Edward K. Hamada, who
succeeded Father Bray as athletic director and head football coach.
‘Iolani One Team is the philosophical foundation of not only the
athletic department but of the entire school community.
‘Iolani Athletics oversees more than 100 boys and girls teams at
the varsity, junior varsity, and intermediate levels; 300 head and
assistant coaches; and hundreds of student-athletes involved in
1,100 competitive events during the school year. e school’s
athletic facilities include a stadium, football eld and track,
baseball eld, soccer eld, Olympic-size swimming pool, tennis
courts, two gymnasiums, judo and wrestling rooms, weight and
training rooms, and equipment rooms.
‘Iolani is a member of the Interscholastic League of Honolulu
(ILH). All participants are expected to fulll all academic
requirements, always display good sportsmanship, and follow
the program set forth by their coach and the athletic department.
Students who do not complete their commitment to a given sport
will not receive a letter or participation credit for that sport.
All students participating in interscholastic athletics are required
to have an annual medical examination and medical insurance.
Forms required to be completed by the student’s physician:
» ‘Iolani School Health Form (Physical form)
» Immunization Record
Documents requiring a parent/guardian electronic signature:
» Consent for Medical Treatment, Medical Disclosure Statement,
and Athletic Participation Waiver: is is an electronically
signed document indicating that parents/guardians have read
and understand the provided document and give parental
consent.
» Consent Form for O-Campus Activities, Internet Use, Use of
Student’s Likeness and Voice, Photographic Consent, Notice
for Directory Information: is is an electronically signed
document.
» Concussion Awareness Education Program: is is an
electronically signed form that must be signed by all parents/
guardians. An e-signature indicates that they have reviewed the
concussion information provided in the document.
» Over-the-Counter Medication Consent: is form is required
for all students. Medications will not be administered without
parental consent.
ELIGIBILITY
Academic eligibility at ‘Iolani School is determined on a quarterly
basis. A student failing any course or any quarter of a course is
rendered ineligible for the rst half of the next quarter. Fourth-
quarter failures carry over to the rst quarter of the following
school year unless the failed course is passed in summer school.
Not all courses are oered in summer school. English courses, for
example, cannot be repeated for credit in the summer. Courses
taken at other schools must have advance approval from the Dean
of Upper School or Dean of Studies before a grade or credit will
be granted by ‘Iolani School.
A student who is declared academically ineligible may not practice,
rehearse, or participate in any way in any extracurricular activity
for the entire term of ineligibility. At the mid-quarter evaluation
period, an ineligible student must earn passing grades in all
courses to regain eligibility for the remainder of the quarter.
Any student who either transfers from one ILH school to another
or repeats a grade is subject to special eligibility rules. Families of
students in either of these situations should call the ‘Iolani School
Athletic Oce as soon as possible and speak with an athletic
director.
CLEARANCE NOTE TO PARTICIPATE AFTER SEEKING
MEDICAL ATTENTION
At 'Iolani School, the health and safety of our student-athletes
are our top priority. If a student-athlete seeks medical attention
for any reason (e.g., visits to urgent care, orthopedic specialists,
or any other health care provider), they must provide a note from
their doctor (or certied physician assistant or nurse practitioner)
regarding their play status before returning to practice or
competition. Please note the following requirements for the
clearance note:
» e note must come from the doctor or doctor's oce that
examined or treated the student-athlete's injury.
» Please note that we do not accept notes from physical therapists
(PTs) for play status determinations, and the note must be
issued by the student-athlete’s pediatrician or treating doctor (or
certied physician assistant or nurse practitioner) in a eld or
specialty related to the condition or injury at issue.
e doctor's note should clearly indicate one of the following:
» Full Clearance: e student-athlete is cleared to return to full
participation without any restrictions.
» Limited Participation: e student-athlete is cleared to return
with specic limitations. e note must detail the nature of
these limitations (e.g., no contact drills, restricted playtime,
avoidance of specic movements, etc.) and the time frame for
which these limitations apply.
» Not Cleared: e student-athlete is not cleared to return to
play. e note should specify the reason and any necessary steps
or treatments required before the student-athlete can be re-
evaluated, including a time frame for reassessment.
is policy ensures that our athletic trainers and coaches are
fully informed of any medical considerations and can make
the necessary adjustments to the student-athlete's training and
competition schedule. ‘Iolani School reserves the right to request
additional medical information as needed to ensure the safety
of our student-athletes before permitting a return to practice or
competition.

COLLEGE COUNSELING
‘Iolani School’s College Counseling Program is founded on the
belief that the college admissions process is a match to be made as
opposed to a prize to be won. e program’s focus is on helping
students realize their potential while nding the best t among
many ne institutions of higher education. Students begin
working in earnest with their college counselor in their junior
year, but exposure to the College Counseling Oce and process
happens in the ninth grade. ough the most important part
of the college application procedure is a student’s high school
record, standardized tests have historically also played a signicant
role. ough many colleges now utilize test-optional admissions,
students are still encouraged to prepare for and take the SAT and/
or ACT. Students follow the testing sequence listed below during
their junior year:
October:
Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT)
November and/or March:
College Board SAT Reasoning
April:
e ACT Examination
During their senior year, students may repeat some of these tests to
improve their scores.
Post-secondary counseling begins in grade nine with an exploration
of careers and colleges, as well as an introduction to the college
application process. Students in grades nine and 10 are oered
exploratory sessions on college athletics, STEM majors, and arts
opportunities. In 11th grade, students are exposed to career options
through presentations and online career and major exploration
tools. e College Counseling Oce utilizes SCOIR©, an online
college planning portal.
During the second half of their junior year, students have weekly
class meetings with their college counselor. Each student also
meets with their counselor twice individually and prepares a self-
evaluation in preparation for specic college planning. e college
counselor guides students in their research and decision-making
while encouraging them to use the many resources available in the
College Counseling Oce. Group sessions are also held to study
the various steps within the college application process and to learn
more about possible schools and majors. Families may choose to
have a conference in the spring of their junior year. e college
counselors also conduct college essay and application workshops
during the summer prior to the student’s senior year.
Specialized counseling continues during the rst semester of
a student’s senior year. Regular group meetings are held from
September through January. Individual and family conferences in
September, October, and November are held to nalize the college
application list and guide students toward appropriate institutions.
Applications to selective colleges and universities are usually due
by January 1 or 15. Early applications to highly selective schools
— as well as to several of the large, competitive state universities
— should be led in October or November. Although college
application deadlines run into the spring, students are strongly
encouraged to le early. All requests for transcripts and the ling of
secondary school recommendation forms should be done through

BEHAVIOR
A school is a community. All who work within that community
are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner, to
observe both the law of our land and the code of behavior the
school sets forth, to respect the rights of others, and thereby to
maintain the best possible atmosphere for learning. Attending
‘Iolani School as a student is a privilege, not a right. Students
must abide by the rules set forth herein. Behavior that disrupts
the educational process or fails to respect the human or property
rights of others is unacceptable.
e Head of School, acting upon the recommendation of the
teachers, counselors, and Deans, may dismiss a student from
‘Iolani for academic or disciplinary reasons at any time when,
in the opinion of the teachers, counselors, and administrators,
continued study at ‘Iolani is not in the school’s or student’s best
interest.
e following constitute some specic forms of unacceptable
behavior:
» Academic dishonesty such as cheating, copying homework,
giving one’s work to others, and plagiarism
» Assault or ghting
» Attendance — being o campus or missing a class, chapel, or
assembly without permission from the school
» Disrespect of the human or property rights of others
» Disrespect toward an adult or another student
» Drugs and alcohol — promotion, possession, use and/or being
under the inuence of alcohol, tobacco, e-cigarettes, vaporizers,
or drugs at school or school functions; drugs include marijuana,
cocaine, any other illegal drug, or any legal drug judged by the
Dean of Students and the Head of School to be used abusively
» Electronic Misconduct — unauthorized hacking of any
electronic device (including, but not limited to, computers,
cell phones, laptops and tablets); causing an electronic device
or computer system to become inoperable; downloading
or sending profane, obscene language and other sexual or
objectionable materials; or promoting, posting, or sending
derogatory, harassing, or hate messages on the computer or any
electronic device
» Fireworks — the possession or use of reworks or other
dangerous items
» Gambling
» Harassment — unwelcome physical, verbal, written, or
electronic action that undermines the personal rights of
another individual, including bullying, hazing, and sexual
misconduct
» Lying
» Sexual activities — involvement in inappropriate physical,
verbal, or electronic sexual activities
» eft
» Vandalism, including grati
Other forms of misbehavior not specically described above will
be subject to the same corrective action if, in the determination of
the Dean, such behavior fails to respect human or property rights
of others or disrupts the educational process.
In general, these rules apply to school hours within the school day.
However, students identied for misconduct o campus during
school hours are subject to the same rules and corrective measures
that govern misconduct on campus. ese rules also apply to all
school functions, on or o campus, including school-sanctioned
trips, regardless of the hour or day.
Misconduct o campus and/or outside school hours may call into
question a student’s right to remain in school. In those instances,
the school reserves the right to take whatever action it deems
necessary, including, but not limited to, expulsion.
CAMPUS SAFETY
Students should not leave items unattended or unlocked. e
school is not responsible for any losses on campus. To protect
the safety and welfare of students and our campus, all students
must cooperate with any school investigation, inspection, or
search. e school reserves the right to search, at any time at
its sole discretion, all personal possessions, including lockers,
desks, backpacks, bags, outer clothing (including pockets),
personal electronic devices such as iPads and cell phones, etc.,
that students bring onto school premises. In situations where
there may be a risk of harm or threat to school safety, the school
may conscate a student’s personal property, including personal
electronic devices, and turn it over to law enforcement. Students
should not have an expectation of privacy in the use or storage of
belongings on campus.
PROCESS
A student who violates the rules of behavior will be referred to
the Dean of Students, Associate Dean of Students, Dean of
Lower School, or Associate Dean of Lower School. e Dean will
examine and discuss the charges with the student and investigate
if deemed necessary. Investigations of possible infractions can be
disruptive to the educational process. A thorough investigation
is eventually completed as expeditiously as possible, involving
as few persons as possible either within or outside of the school.
During any investigation, the Dean may take measures to keep
students apart from one another while they are on campus. If
an accused student chooses not to cooperate with the school’s
investigation into a violation of the rules of behavior, they may be
placed on suspension pending the ndings of the investigation.
If it is determined by the Dean that an infraction has taken
place, the Dean will counsel the student and determine the
corrective action, if any, to be taken. Surrounding circumstances,
expectations, relationships, and the age of the student involved
are all factors to be weighed in any disciplinary action. In cases of
expulsion, the Dean will consult with the Head of School.
Student Rules
31
HEARING
Students’ explanations of their conduct before the Dean of
Students or Dean of Lower School constitute a hearing.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Corrective action for infractions shall be appropriately handled
by the Dean of Students, Associate Dean of Students, or Dean
of Lower School. is may include, but not be limited to,
detention, loss of privileges, required study hall, disciplinary
probation, and dismissal. For all forms of unacceptable behavior,
students found to have committed infractions may be dismissed
immediately. Second chances will be given only at the discretion
of the Dean or the Head of School. However, for drug, alcohol,
and tobacco oenses, or for agrant disregard for the human and
property rights of others, such as theft, assault, computer abuse,
and inappropriate sexual activities, students could be expelled
immediately, barring unusual or mitigating circumstances.
A student who is dismissed for disciplinary reasons is not
permitted on campus, nor may that student attend ‘Iolani
functions (such as proms and school dances) without permission
from the Head of School or Dean of Students.
APPEAL
Appeals may be made only to the Head of School, who is the
nal authority in all disciplinary cases. Youth in this community
will grow and function well where rules are stated clearly and
enforced consistently. Teachers and students will perform better
in an environment that is conducive to teaching and learning.
PROBATION
A student on academic or disciplinary probation may not hold
elective oce (including Senior Prefects), serve as a member of
prom or May Day courts, or receive school-sponsored academic,
athletic, or service awards. In addition, all students on probation
will be placed in required study hall.
ACADEMIC HONESTY
Students must maintain academic honesty in every aspect of their
academic work.
In preparing for schoolwork, asking for help is possible and even
desirable at times from a parent/guardian, friend, teacher, or
librarian. e goal of an assignment, however, is not only to nd
the right answer but also to understand the problem.
Copying assignments or giving another person a copy of one’s
work, whether in paper form or electronic, is academic dishonesty.
Academic deception to gain an unfair advantage, including, but
not limited to, digital academic applications and online services
(such as the Photomath app or Pinetools), also constitutes
academic dishonesty.
Plagiarism — taking someone else’s work or idea and oering
it as one’s own — is academic dishonesty. Examples include
copying someone else’s work word-for-word, paraphrasing, or
borrowing ideas, and putting them in dierent words. Cutting
and pasting material found on the internet is another common
example of plagiarism.
Quizzes and examinations test a student’s independent
knowledge of a subject. No unauthorized help from any
source may be used or be available to a student during a quiz
or examination, regardless of the intent to use that source. All
electronic devices must be properly stowed and should not be on
one’s person during a quiz or examination. Giving aid to another
student before, during, or after a quiz or examination, or turning
in for credit work previously submitted for a class, are also forms
of academic dishonesty.
HARASSMENT POLICY
‘Iolani School is committed to providing an environment
conducive to learning and fostering mutual respect and sensitivity
among all members of our school community. Harassment or any
activity that interferes with this environment and/or undermines
personal rights will not be tolerated. Harassment includes but
is not limited to, any unwelcome physical, verbal, written, or
electronic action that undermines the personal rights of another
individual.
‘Iolani School endorses and will enforce the right of everyone to
participate fully in student life at the school without harassment.
To that end, all members of the ‘Iolani School community are
expected to respect the rights and sensitivities of others at all
times and exercise sound judgment in doing so. Violators of this
policy shall be subject to disciplinary action, which may include
expulsion.
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT POLICY
DEFINITIONS
Sexual misconduct includes both sexual assault and sexual
harassment.
“Sexual assault” means any criminal sexual oense recognized by
Hawai‘i law, including unwanted touching or grabbing of sexual
parts.
“Sexual harassment” is a specic type of prohibited conduct
dened as behavior involving a single instance or repeated
instances of unwanted sexual advances or other unwanted or
oensive visual, verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature
or based on sex or gender that unreasonably interferes with a
student’s opportunity to receive an equal education. Examples
include, but are not limited to, unwelcome sexual contact or
advances; pressure for sexual activity; obscene or suggestive
Student Rules (continued)
32
remarks or jokes; verbal or written insults or abuse of a sexual
nature; display of sexually explicit materials; spreading sexual
rumors; ashing or mooning; and/or other conduct of a sexual
nature which has the purpose or eect of:
1. Causing the recipient to feel discomfort or humiliation.
2. Interfering with the recipient’s academic performance.
3. Creating an intimidating, oensive, or hostile environment for
the recipient.
4. Creating a situation where academic evaluation, status,
progress, or non-curricular decisions aecting the recipient
depends on submitting to and/or not objecting to the behavior.
APPLICATION
If one feels sexually harassed, one should do the following:
» Let the oending person(s) know that the conduct is oensive
and that the behavior must stop, unless doing so may put the
student feeling harassed in danger.
» Keep a record of when, where, and how the harassing conduct
occurred. Include witnesses, direct quotations, actions,
evidence, and any other written communication.
» Promptly contact someone in authority (e.g., a grade-level
counselor, faculty member, nurse, Dean, or the Head of
School). Identify the oending conduct and person(s) so a
thorough investigation and evaluation can be made.
REPORTING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
If anyone knows or has reason to suspect that sexual misconduct
has occurred, they must notify a member of the faculty or
sta and provide as much information as possible about the
misconduct or reasons for suspecting that misconduct has
occurred. ‘Iolani School values the privacy and safety of its
students and will respect the wishes of any person who comes
forward to report an allegation of sexual misconduct. ‘Iolani
School will keep such a report condential unless disclosure is
necessary to comply with the law or to ensure the safety of all
students and employees of the school.
If any person comes forward in earnest to report an allegation
of sexual misconduct — even if the school later determines that
there is not sucient evidence to support the allegation, or if any
person honestly participates in an investigation of an allegation
— any action taken in retaliation against that person is strictly
prohibited and will not be tolerated. Any person found to have
engaged in retaliatory actions will be subject to immediate and
appropriate disciplinary action, including possible expulsion.
If the allegations include violations of other school rules, the
Dean and/or Head of School shall have the discretion to grant
amnesty for the transgressions of a student who comes forward to
report sexual misconduct.
BULLYING AND HAZING
Bullying is repeated and unwanted aggressive behavior among
students that involves a real or perceived power imbalance.
Bullying includes but is not limited to, actions such as making
threats, spreading rumors, or attacking someone physically or
verbally.
Hazing occurs when an individual or a group of individuals uses
humiliating, illegal, and/or dangerous activities to initiate new
members into a club, group, or team.
‘Iolani does not permit or condone bullying or hazing in any form
or by any group. Bullying and hazing are detrimental to students
physically and emotionally.
e school will treat each case on an individual basis. e
consequences will depend on the severity of the incident,
regardless of whether it occurred on campus or o campus during
a school-sanctioned trip or event.
UPPER SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
‘Iolani School pays close attention to attendance and expects
students to observe the following procedures when they are
absent or late.
UNPLANNED ABSENCES
When a student is absent from school due to illness or injury, a
parent/guardian must call the inrmary by 8:00am, at
808-943-2249 to report the absence. Absences for any other
reason should be called in to the attendance oce by 8 a.m.
at 808-943-2207. When a student must leave school for an
appointment during the school day, the parent/guardian must
either email attend@iolani.org, send a note, or call the attendance
oce at 808-943-2207 to explain the reason for the absence. e
student must pick up an o-campus pass from the attendance
window before leaving campus. Students missing part of the
school day due to scheduled appointments or illness are still
responsible for classwork due during their absence. Teachers may
require students to submit work before an excused appointment.
Failure to meet these requirements may result in academic
penalties. In the case of illness, if possible, students should
email their teachers to get any missed assignments. If the school
believes a student is chronically absent, it may require the student
to submit a physician’s note upon returning to school.
A student who is ill and absent from homeroom should not attend
school that day. If the student comes to school later in the day,
they must present a physician’s note in person to the Inrmary
indicating they are well enough to attend school. Otherwise,
the student will receive an unexcused absence for all missed
classes and will be noted as an unexcused tardy. Students are not
permitted to stay home to catch up on sleep or schoolwork and
arrive later in the day. Any unexcused absence or tardy may result
in academic penalties, including, but not limited to, assignments
due, in-class work, quizzes, and tests. All students claiming
illness and who arrive later in the day must check in by noon with
Student Rules (continued)
33
a physician’s note in order to participate in any extracurricular
activities that day. Any student sent home ill during the day may
not participate in any extracurricular activities that day.
A student with an excessive number of total absences, whether
excused or unexcused, may be placed on an attendance contract
or disciplinary probation as determined by the Dean.
PLANNED ABSENCES
Students learn best when they are in class with their classmates
and dedicated teachers. To minimize the negative eects of
missing class, we strongly encourage families to plan travel during
school breaks — which can be found in our Year-at-a-Glance
calendar — and limit absences.
While class attendance is necessary for a productive and fullling
learning experience, we understand that signicant occasions may
arise when students must miss class for legitimate and veriable
reasons. In these cases, please follow the steps below at least two
weeks before the planned absence:
1. Written Explanation: Parents/guardians must provide a
written explanation for their student’s absence by emailing
attend@iolani.org.
2. Planned Absence Form: e student will obtain a Planned
Absence Form from the Main Oce or Castle Dean's Oce
to be signed by their teachers, counselor, and parent/guardian.
e form must be completed and submitted to the Main Oce
for approval by the Dean of Students at least two weeks before
the absence.
3. Teacher Signatures: Teachers will sign the Planned Absence
Form only if:
»e student and teacher agree on a plan for completing
missing classwork, which may include turning in assignments
or taking assessments prior to the absence.
»e student currently has a grade of C- or higher in their
classes.
»e teacher has no concerns that the absence will seriously
impact the student's success in their class.
4. Counselor Signature: After obtaining all teacher signatures,
the student must see their counselor for approval.
5. Parent/Guardian Signature: e parent/guardian should be the
nal person to sign the Planned Absence Form, ensuring they
are aware of the student’s current grades and plans to make up
work.
6. Final Submission: Submit the completed Planned Absence
Form to the Main Oce. e Dean of Students will then
determine if the absence will be excused based on the provided
information.
Note that for all planned absences, students are responsible for
making up missed work. Please know that make-up work cannot
approach the level of student engagement that happens in the
classroom with peers and the teacher.
Failure to complete the Planned Absence Procedures at least two
weeks prior to the absence will result in an unexcused absence.
is may lead to academic penalties, and teachers are not required
to allow students to make up missing work for unexcused
absences.
MISSING A SEMESTER OR FINAL EXAM
Missing a semester or nal exam is a dierent issue. Teachers may
have to rewrite tests to ensure standards for academic honesty are
maintained. Proctors must also be hired for alternate nal exam
testing.
If a student must reschedule a semester or nal exam due to a
planned absence, these tests must be taken prior to the regularly
scheduled exam days. Families will also be assessed proctoring
fees based on the cost of proctors and the number of make-up
exams taken.
TARDINESS
Students are to be in homeroom before the tardy bell rings at
the beginning of the school day, regardless of their respective
academic schedules. Late students are to report to the attendance
window for admission slips, then report to homeroom or class
and present the slip to the teacher. Students without a valid
reason for tardiness will be marked unexcused. Consequences
will be given to students with ve or more unexcused occurrences
of tardiness to homeroom or class in one quarter. ose who
have committed other serious infractions may also be placed on
probation.
HOLIDAYS
All school holidays are printed on the school calendar and
announced by the Head of School. Senior skip day, or any
unauthorized holiday planned by students, will not be sanctioned
and will be treated as an unexcused absence. In such cases,
parents/guardians should not write an excuse unless the child
is ill.
ASSEMBLIES, CHAPEL, AND CLASSES
Students must attend grade-level and school assemblies, chapels,
and all their classes. Students who cut any of these without
permission from the Inrmary or Dean of Students will be placed
in required study hall. Students claiming illness during the school
day must report to the Wellness Center if they want to be excused
from an assembly, chapel, or class.
Student Rules (continued)

USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES
(For Lower School and Upper School)
Technology is an important part of the educational process, and
‘Iolani School provides students with opportunities for them to
use electronic devices — including iPads, desktop computers, and
laptops — throughout the campus. To promote a safe, secure,
and eective learning environment, the school encourages all
students to use safe practices and good judgment when using
such devices. It is the responsibility of all students to understand
that any behavior unacceptable in person is also unacceptable
when using an electronic device — whether a personal device or
a school-owned one — regardless of whether or not students are
on campus.
Any student who fails to use good judgment when using an
electronic device is subject to several penalties, which can include,
but are not limited to, restricted device use, detention, required
study hall, probation, or expulsion. e school policy regarding
academic dishonesty applies to iPads and other electronic devices.
e following constitute specic misuse of electronic devices.
Other forms of misuse not specically described below will be
subject to the same corrective action if, in the determination of
the Dean, such behavior fails to respect human or property rights
of others or disrupts the educational process.
Electronic devices used at school should not have any apps
installed — unless specically assigned by an ‘Iolani teacher —
that have a description listed under its rating that is deemed as
inappropriate by the school. Students in doubt about an app
should check with their teachers. Descriptions of apps that would
be deemed inappropriate by the school include but are not limited
to, phrases such as:
» Alcohol, tobacco, or drug use or references.
» Profanity or crude humor.
» Cartoon or fantasy violence.
» Creating, sending, accessing, uploading, downloading, or
distributing oensive, profane, harassing, threatening,
pornographic, obscene, violent, or sexually explicit material, all
of which are prohibited.
» Jailbreaking and unauthorized use of and/or other
modications of an ‘Iolani electronic device, all of which are
not permitted.
STUDENT PERSONAL DEVICE POLICY
For Students Grades 7 - 9
Cell phones and electronic devices are often positive learning
tools when used appropriately. However, these devices can
distract from the learning environment and face-to-face
engagement. To promote a strong teaching and learning

including warnings, conscation of the electronic device for
the school day, or detention.
For Students Grades 10 - 12
Cellphone and personal electonic device use is a privilege, and
you are expected to use your devices responsibly during the
school day. If cellphone use interferes with your learning or
the learning of others, or if it is used irresponsibly, appropriate
consequences may be given.
Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action,
including warnings, conscation of the electronic device for the
school day, and detention.
If students need to make a necessary and urgent phone call to a
parent/guardian, they may go to the Main Oce to request to
use the school landline. If there is an emergency and a parent/
guardian needs to contact their child, please call the Main Oce
at 808-949-5355 and our oce sta will contact your child.

laptops, and tablets — may be used during free periods and
lunch only by students in grades 10 through 12. When listening
to music or videos, earphones or earbuds must be used to ensure
that no sound is audible to others.

HONESTY
Students are expected to do their own work. iPads allow easy
access to information online. Students must cite all sources
and create their own content. Online sources should be
referenced as instructed by teachers. Copying other people’s
work and submitting it as one’s own work, whether intentionally
or unintentionally, is morally wrong. It will be considered
plagiarism and will result in a response from the school.
POLICIES FOR SCHOOL-OWNED DEVICES
If a student’s iPad becomes damaged or otherwise unusable,
they should visit the Information Technology Services Oce to
diagnose the problem. Do not take it to an Apple Store. ‘Iolani
has an internal system for repairing and maintaining school-
issued iPads and devices. If a device is lost, the student should
check with the Main Oce or Information Technology Services
to see if it has been turned in and/or use the “Find my iPad”
feature by visiting iCloud.com.
» First two repairs: $50
» ird repair: $250
» Subsequent repairs/replacements: full iPad cost ($599)
» Lost iPad: full iPad cost ($599)
‘Iolani’s school-issued iPad is provided to students primarily
to help with studies and communication with peers. As such,
homework and other school-related activities take precedence
over all others, including games and non-class-related work. iPads
should be kept in their cases at all times and students should treat
their school-issued iPads as they would a personally owned device.
Students are expected to take proper care of their iPads, chargers,
and charging cables and charge iPads every night. A dead battery
is not an acceptable excuse for not completing an assignment.

name, branding, logos, or any related identiers on websites,
social media platforms, clothing designs, or other public forums
without prior written permission from the school. is includes

UPPER SCHOOL DRESS STANDARDS
How one dresses often depends on individual taste, economic
situation, and/or family, social, religious, or cultural norms. Dress
can be viewed as a means for personal expression allowing a
student to explore and dene their own individuality.
However, certain basic dress standards must be followed to
maintain a positive and productive environment providing a
focused atmosphere conducive to teaching and learning.
With enrollment in ‘Iolani School, students and parents/
guardians agree to accept and support the dress code, which
reects the standards of the school. e dress code focuses on
attire and appearance that is neat and clean. Students arriving at
school improperly dressed will be asked to change their clothing
to conform to the dress standards of ‘Iolani. Any absence
from class while a student is waiting for a change of clothes is
considered unexcused and may result in academic penalties.
Failure to comply with these dress standards will also result in
disciplinary action, including required study hall or probation for
more than three violations in one school year.
While the dress code includes some gender-specic expectations,
the school recognizes that not all students express their gender
in line with their biological sex and thus supports any student's
expression of gender within the spirit of the dress code. It is
important that students genuinely adhere to this expectation.
GIRLS
Appropriate tops must cover the midri (even when arms are
lifted), back, and shoulder areas (from armpit to armpit), except
for women’s dress tops, which may have straps at least three
ngers wide. Tops worn under an open jacket or sweater must
be in the dress code. Hoods on sweaters and jackets must be
removed while indoors. Appropriate pants, shorts, skirts, or
dresses should reach the mid-thigh area in length.
BOYS
Appropriate tops for boys are shirts with a collar. Tops worn
under an open jacket or sweater must be in the dress code.
Appropriate bottoms include walking shorts, slacks, or jeans, and
should reach the mid-thigh area.
ALL
Inappropriate tops include tank tops, spaghetti-strap tops,
lowcut tops (identied as those where the neckline descends
below armpit level), see-through clothing, sleeveless attire, and
T-shirts. e only exception is ‘Iolani-branded T-shirts, which
are permitted on Raider Fridays. Moreover, all attire must
not contain any form of inappropriate language, imagery, or
advertisements. Inappropriate pants include basketball, soccer,
or running shorts, team uniforms not in the dress code, beach
attire, and sleepwear (such as pajamas and sweatpants). Clothing
should not be tattered or frayed. Hair should be neatly trimmed.
Any coloring or bleaching of hair must be in the natural range of
hair color. Hats or other headgear should not be worn other than
hooded sweatshirts or jackets in outdoor spaces. Inappropriate
footwear includes athletic or casual slides such as jandals, beach
slippers, and bedroom slippers.

hall teacher, indicating the time of departure and destination.
Students with written passes for the entire period must leave
their excuses with the study hall teacher at the time they sign out.

out the circumstances of the teacher’s lateness. Students may not
leave class without being excused by the Dean of Students.
TRAVEL RULES
On all ‘Iolani-sponsored trips, school rules apply from the time
the student is released to the chaperones at the commencement
of the trip until they are released to the custody of their parents/
guardians at the end of the trip. Any student who violates any
rule at any time will be subject to punishment and corrective
measures governing misconduct on campus, including dismissal.

Tutoring Policies
‘Iolani School prides itself on providing each student with
individualized attention and academic support. Teachers are
available for extra help during the day as well as after school.
LOWER SCHOOL & UPPER SCHOOL
‘Iolani School does not provide recommendations for outside
tutoring. Instead, individual teachers will reach out to students
or families regarding after-school extra-help opportunities. When
warranted, the Lower School grade-level counselor will discuss
further in-school academic support options.
EXTRA-HELP SESSIONS AND TEACHER/STUDENT
CONFERENCES
Teachers in the Upper School oer extra-help sessions for students
who may want to review material or ask questions. In addition to
designated days for each subject area to hold extra-help sessions,
teachers may schedule additional extra-help time before or after
school, as well as during free periods that the student and teacher
may have in common. e designated extra-help days are:
» Tuesdays: English and Math
» Wednesdays: History and Science
» ursdays: World Language
Please note that extra-help sessions are from 3 to 4 p.m. on each
assigned day.
Counseling and Guidance
THE COUNSELING DEPARTMENT promotes student success by
supporting and maximizing academic achievement and fostering
personal and social development.
Counselors at ‘Iolani School help students understand themselves
and the challenges they face. Further concerns may be addressed
by the Director of Social and Emotional Health.
ere is a kindergarten through rst grade counselor, a second-
and third-grade counselor, a fourth- and sixth-grade counselor, a
fth- and sixth-grade counselor, and one to two counselors for
each grade level from seventh through 12th grade. A support
counselor is also available to students in seventh through 12th
grades. ere are six college counselors who advise students in
grades nine through 12.
‘Iolani oers a health and wellness program for all students. In
grades kindergarten through six, all students have guidance
lessons throughout the year. All seventh graders take a single
quarter Lifetime Health 7 course covering identity, relationships,
assertiveness, and the changes of adolescence. Counselors teach
lessons on course planning, GPA, as well as preparation for
course registration. e college counselors also meet during
advisory to introduce college counseling and the college
admissions process.
e counselors meet individually with all students in their grade
level during their rst year together. New students and students
with academic, personal, or developmental concerns receive
additional attention. Counselors work closely with each other,
parents/guardians, the faculty, and the administration to ensure
special concerns are handled appropriately and consistently.
e counseling relationship between a student and their school
counselor, psychologist, or school nurse requires an atmosphere
of trust and condence. School counselors, psychologists,
and nurses recognize their primary obligation regarding
condentiality is to the student but balance that obligation
with an understanding of the family or guardians’ legal and
inherent rights to be the guiding voice in their children’s lives
(ASCA, 2016). Counselors, psychologists, and nurses maintain
condentiality for information shared by a student unless
keeping that information condential leads to foreseeable harm.
Serious and foreseeable harm is dierent for each minor in the
school setting and is determined by students’ developmental and
chronological age, the setting, parental rights, and the nature
of harm (ASCA, 2016, A.2.e). Exceptions to condentiality
exist, and school counselors, psychologists, and nurses have a
responsibility to disclose information obtained in counseling
relationships to others to protect students, themselves, or other
individuals.
In August, new students visit ‘Iolani to meet school personnel
and other new students and to tour the campus. Counselors
meet with small groups of new students in September to answer
questions about academic and extracurricular activities
VOLUNTEER TUTORING
With teacher approval, students in grades nine through 12
volunteer their time to help younger students with courses/
classes that could give them diculty. ey tutor in a proctored
classroom during their study hall periods and/or after school
at no cost to the students or parents/guardians. Upper School
students also act as Big Brothers and Sisters to kindergarten
through sixth-grade students as needed.

Community and Civic Engagement
THE “ONE TEAM” ethos guides community and civic
engagement at ‘Iolani. Students are encouraged to participate
in on- and o-campus projects to make a positive impact, build
civic skills and community relationships, practice leadership
with aloha, and learn from real-world experience. With a
variety of clubs, service activities, and partnerships, the school
facilitates disaster and refugee relief eorts, environmental and
sustainability initiatives, and projects to promote food security
and healthy, thriving communities.
Many classes throughout the Lower School build an
understanding of the self and community, guiding students
through service projects that are integrated into the curriculum
and build awareness, empathy, and agency. In the Upper School,
several courses — including Economics and Entrepreneurship,
the One Mile Project, and My Life, My Island, My World —
feature service-learning and leadership as focal points, giving
students a more in-depth experience of community and civic
engagement with critical reection.
Service-oriented clubs, such as Family Promise, Key Club,
Raiders for Wounded Warriors, Leo Club, Interact, Plus Club,
Surfrider Club, the Naturalist Club, and Storytellers Club,
organize and execute projects throughout the year. Groups
such as the Citizens’ Climate Lobby Youth Action Team oer
opportunities for advocacy, educational outreach, and other
forms of civic engagement.
We truly value our partners, many of whom represent nonprot
organizations, policymakers, community groups, other K-12
schools, and higher education institutions. Some of the
partnerships related to our recent projects include e Institute
for Human Services, Aloha Harvest, Hawai‘i Foodbank,
Pu‘uhonua O Wai‘anae, Child and Family Service Hawai‘i,

Veracross Parent Portal is viewable on mobile devices, there is
no mobile app available. e school is still building new content
and features on the Parent Portal and appreciates your patience
and understanding as the portal may change throughout the year.

your child’s classes to aid you in purchasing textbooks and for
students to inform their counselors in case an error is found.

and periods.
5. Attendance Reports (Lower School only): Available during

Emergency Procedures
In the event of a school closure or campus emergency, ‘Iolani
School will keep parents/guardians informed through a messag-
ing service, radio broadcasts, our website (www.iolani.org), and
email. e emergency broadcast station for Hawai‘i is KSSK AM
590 and FM 92.3. Parents/guardians may also call the Upper
School oce at 808-949-5355 or the Lower School oce at
808-943-2227.
TSUNAMI WARNING
‘Iolani School is not in a regular O‘ahu Tsunami Evacuation
Zone (TEZ) but is in one of the recently designated Extreme Tsu-
nami Evacuation Zones (XTEZs). e new XTEZs do not replace
the current TEZs, but instead add a second zone for a potential
extreme event. Extreme tsunamis are low-probability, once-in-a-
thousand-year occurrences, but they represent the high-impact
“worst-case” inundation scenario for Honolulu. In the unlikely
event of an Extreme Tsunami Warning, the school will evacuate
inland to higher ground as instructed in the City and County of
Honolulu’s XTEZ plan.
In the event of a regular tsunami warning, ‘Iolani School will
adhere to the following procedures:
If a warning is issued by the Pacic Tsunami Warning Center
through the O‘ahu Civil Defense Agency while school is in
session, school personnel will remain with students until parents/
guardians can safely pick them up. e O‘ahu Civil Defense
Agency advises that parents/guardians not leave a safe area or
drive through a danger zone to pick up their child(ren) during a
tsunami warning. Parents/guardians should wait until the “All
Clear” has been announced. Lower School children are to be
picked up at the Autoline gate on Lā‘au Place. Upper School stu-
dents are to be picked up at the Lower Gym on Kamoku Street.
e school will follow instructions from the O‘ahu Civil Defense
Agency through local radio broadcasts.
If the warning is issued before school begins, classes will be
canceled and the school will be closed. Students’ parents/guard-
ians, the O‘ahu Civil Defense Agency, and radio stations will be
notied by the Head of School’s Oce.
HURRICANE/TROPICAL STORM WARNING
e National Weather Service issues Hurricane or Tropical
Storm WATCHES 48 hours prior to storm eects. Hurricane or
Tropical Storm WARNINGS are issued when one of these storms
could aect O‘ahu in 36 hours or less. Extreme Wind Warnings
for sustained hurricane-force winds of 115 mph or greater are is-
sued when winds are expected within an hour. When a WATCH
is issued, school administrators will monitor the storm and make
decisions to close the school before the issuance of a WARNING.
e timing of the closure will coincide with the end of a normal
school day, if possible. If a WARNING is issued by the O‘ahu
Civil Defense Agency while school is in session, school personnel
will remain with students until parents/guardians can safely pick
them up. Lower School children are to be picked up at the Auto-
line gate on Lā‘au Place. Upper School students are to be picked
up at the Lower Gym on Kamoku Street. Students’ parents/
guardians, the O‘ahu Civil Defense Agency, and radio stations
will be notied by the Head of School’s Oce.
EARTHQUAKES
In the event of an earthquake of signicant magnitude, ‘Iolani
School will care for students until parents/guardians can safe-
ly pick them up. Lower School children are to be picked up at
the Autoline gate on Lā‘au Place. Upper School students are to
be picked up at the Lower Gym on Kamoku Street. Students’
parents/guardians, the O‘ahu Civil Defense Agency, and radio
stations will be notied by the Head of School’s Oce.
CAMPUS EMERGENCY
In the event of an emergency requiring campus containment or
school closure, ‘Iolani School will care for students until parents/
guardians can safely pick them up. Lower School children are to
be picked up at the Autoline gate on Lā‘au Place. Upper School
students are to be picked up at the Lower Gym on Kamoku
Street. Students’ parents/guardians will be notied through
phone, text messages, email, radio broadcasts, and the school
website, www.iolani.org, and provided a time when students can
be picked up from school.
ASBESTOS HAZARD EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACT (AHERA)
NOTICE
In 1986, Congress passed the Asbestos Hazard Emergency
Response Act (AHERA). is law requires all public and private
schools with grades kindergarten through 12 to be inspected for
asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and to develop a manage-
ment plan for controlling exposure to these materials. is law
also requires that ‘Iolani notify parents/guardians on an annual
basis with regard to ACM at the school.
e goal of ‘Iolani School’s asbestos program is to provide a safe
and healthy environment and to comply with all applicable laws.
‘Iolani School engages a third-party service provider specializing
in this area to monitor the school for compliance with AHERA
regulations. A copy of the report prepared by the third party is
available for review in the Business Oce.

KA‘I Programs
THE KA‘I (Kūkulu Alaka‘ i ‘Iolani, e Creation of Leaders)
Programs at ‘Iolani School are committed to raising life outcomes
for underserved youth from Pālolo Valley. Now in its 15th year,
KA‘I has grown to comprise ve components addressing the
needs of Pālolo Valley youth from early childhood through
postsecondary education completion. ese ve programs are
funded by local and national foundations, many generous donors,
and ‘Iolani School.
e KA‘I Keiki Program, a partnership between ‘Iolani
School and Pālolo Homes, provides early childhood summer
education to children ages 3 to 7 living in the Pālolo Homes
public housing. e program focuses on developing social,
emotional, and cognitive skills necessary for school readiness
in a welcoming and joyful school environment and also assists
families in enrolling their children in preschool programs during
the school year. Funded by the ‘Iolani Alumni Association, the
McInerny Foundation, and the Freeman Foundation, the KA‘I
Keiki Program has served more than 350 children over the past
10 years.
e KA‘I Elementary Program began in 2022 and strives to
close the achievement gap for underserved elementary-school-age
students, many of whom are English language learners. Students,
who commit to four consecutive years, receive two meals a
day, transportation to and from Pālolo Valley, and academic
enrichment courses at ‘Iolani School. At full capacity, the KA‘I
Elementary Program will serve nearly 50 students from the third
through sixth grade.
e KA‘I Middle and High School Program is a partnership
between ‘Iolani School and Jarrett Middle School designed to
counteract the learning loss that underserved youth experience
over summer breaks by engaging students in a free, high-quality,
six-week summer program at ‘Iolani School during their middle
and high school years. Now in its 15th year, the program
currently supports 81 students in grades seven through 12.
Largely funded by the McInerny Foundation, e KA‘I Middle
and High School Program provides students transportation to
and from Pālolo Valley, two meals a day, academic enrichment
courses, Hawai‘i State Department of Education credit courses,
leadership classes, and college and career counseling. To date, 99
students have graduated from the program.
e KA‘I School Year Tutoring Program was established in
2017 to provide personalized academic tutoring and support
for all KA‘I students during the school year. Supported by
the Freeman Foundation, the McInerny Foundation, and the
Atherton Foundation, the program provides tutoring four days
per week throughout the school year, with a focus on math,
reading, and writing. e program strives to improve students’
academic skills and personal resilience and to better prepare them
for success in high school, postsecondary education, their careers,
and beyond.
e KA‘I Postsecondary Program matches KA‘I graduates
— almost all of whom are the rst in their family to attend
and graduate from college — with appropriate postsecondary
education options, and supports students to and through
their pathway to completion. rough the generosity of the
Takitani Foundation and Honu‘apo, the program provides full
gap scholarships to KA‘I graduates allowing them to graduate
from college without any debt. Compared with Hawai‘i state
averages, KA‘I has been signicantly more successful in helping
students matriculate to postsecondary education and earn their
degree. KA‘I students have an 82% college enrollment rate
upon completion of high school. e program has a full-time
Director of Postsecondary Access and Persistence and currently
serves 35 students in postsecondary education. To date, 19 KA‘I
postsecondary students have successfully earned a degree.
