For New Families

IPA offers After School Enrichment (ASE) courses for students in Grades K-5 during the Fall and Winter/Spring. ASE is a great opportunity for students to learn a new skill, dive deeper into an area of interest, or challenged themselves by exploring a subject outside their comfort zone. Students can select one or more courses to create a schedule that suits their needs and fulfills their passion for learning.

Visit the After School Enrichment page to see the course listing and to download the registration form.

For Grade 6-12 students, all required text books will need to be acquired on your own before the first day of classes. A list of required texts can be found in our Back to School Packet.

A list of required school supplies for each grade level is sent out during the summer in our Back to School Packet.

Each year, we partner with Ready for Success, who will purchase, label, and deliver your child’s school supplies for a fee. IPA receives a percentage of the proceeds as a donation. More information about this service can be found in the Back to School Packet.

Uniforms must be worn unless a student is given permission by administration to be out of uniform (i.e., free
dress days, spirit days, or May Day attire). Administrative approved out-of-uniform attire should adhere to the general guidelines for hem length, cleanliness and quality, as well as be appropriate to the school setting. All uniform purchases must be made through IPA’s uniform provider, Lands’ End. Use Preferred School ID: 900108580.

Similar uniform bottoms to those found at Lands’ End may be purchased from other retail vendors, as long as they are in the style, color, length, fit and quality of Lands’ End items.

General Uniform Information:

• IPA Polo colors: Navy, Maize or White
• IPA Oxford colors: French blue or White
• IPA Bottom (Pants, Skirts or Shorts) colors: Khaki or Navy (no other colors)

Detailed uniform information can be found in the Uniform Section of the current Back to School Packet and Student-Parent Handbook.

Parents and students will receive communications from the school via various methods. Teachers will provide information through Plus Portals, emails, or through the Class Parent Representatives.

The Administration will provide relevant and timely information in a weekly eNews email sent out by the Advancement Department.

In the Elementary school, information may be sent home in the weekly Friday Folders, which may include flyers, forms, etc.

Parents and students can also keep up to date on the news around campus through IPA’s social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and X (@ipahawaii).
