Our School --- School Uniform Policy
At MAIA, we value each student for who they are, not by how they look or what they wear. One of our goals is to cultivate the same attitude in our students. The MAIA dress code policy requires students to be in uniform. Not adhering to the school uniform policy is considered a violation of school rules. Consequences will follow the procedural guidelines for behavior infractions. Students are to be in uniform at all times, except on scheduled non-uniform days or when special permission is granted by administration. The school uniform policy will be strictly enforced.
