This 2023-2024 School year, we are reestablishing YES Prep’s Dress Code for all students.
This year students will be required to wear the following:
 

Free Breakfast & Lunch for ALL Students

White Oak, as a reminder, both breakfast and lunch are free to all students!
This year, your student does not have to apply for free or reduced meals. All meals that are offered by our cafeteria staff, are free to all students.

If students do not remember their ID numbers, or forgot their ID's at home, they can still line up and get their food. Our cafeteria staff has been working hard to make sure students are able to eat; they will assist your child with their ID numbers and ensure they receive their meals. 


Let's Travel to South Korea! - High School Students ONLY

As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is critical for our students to become more culturally aware and globally-minded. After the incredible success of our 2024 France, Germany & Switzerland Trip, we are pleased to announce that your student’s teachers are planning an educational tour to South Korea for this upcoming summer with EF Tours. Join us for more information!

Uniform Policy for the 2024-2025 school year

 

At YES Prep, we continue to see the benefits of students wearing YES Prep uniforms and apparel, including a sense of school pride, improved safety and more convenience for families. For this reason, we will continue the standard uniform policy for the 2024-2025 school year. Students must wear a YES Prep-branded polo or spirit shirt five days a week, with the option to wear a school-chosen variation like a college shirt on Fridays. 2024-2025

Uniform Sale Price- $5 spirit shirt; $8 polo shirt; $31 uniform bundle (3 spirit shirts, 2 polo shirts)

The YES Prep polos and spirit shirts are now available for purchase on our website. For more information about YES Prep’s dress code and distribution dates visit yesprep.org/uniforms.

Please note: We will continue to require all students to use clear or mesh backpacks for the 2024-2025 school year. Small non-transparent bags no longer than 6” X 9” will be allowed for personal items, such as school supplies, cellphones, money and hygiene products.


Child Nutrition - Update to our Menu App

We are thrilled to announce a significant upgrade in our digital menu technology. Starting May 30th, our current menu app, So Happy, will no longer display menus. We are evolving and advancing to meet and exceed the expectations of our students and families.   As part of this evolution, we are transitioning to Nutrislice, an innovative web and app platform that is now live. Nutrislice will provide an enhanced user experience, allowing for easy navigation of menus, filtering for dietary and allergen restrictions, changing preferred language settings, and much more.   We believe this upgrade will greatly benefit our community, making it simpler and more convenient to access important meal information.   Getting Started Steps:    

1. Download the app Nutrislice from your smartphone’s app store:  

 

 

2. Select your language. Click the dropdown menu in the right-hand corner and click “Select a Language.” Choose your preferred language and click “Translate.”

3. Pick your location. Click on the location you want to view menus for. Don’t forget to add locations you visit most often to your favorites list!

4. Get started. Click into a menu to see available menu options for that day, week, or month depending on your administrator’s settings. Click on a menu item to open a food card that may contain nutritional information and/or images.

5. You’re done! Enjoy your Nutrislice experience.  For any questions or further assistance, please contact the Child Nutrition Department: ChildNutrition@yesprep.org
