Uniform Policy for the 2025 - 2026 School Year
Please make sure your student is following our dress code, outlined in our Student Handbook. If your student is not in uniform, the student will receive a demerit or detention, as well as a call home for either a change of clothes or to be picked up from the campus.
Purchases can only be made online through our Online Uniform Store, Revtrak. You can login to your account and purchase uniforms for your students.
On the website, you will find options for sweatshirts and sweaters as well as polos and t-shirts.
The YES Prep polos and spirit shirts are now available for purchase on our website, https://yesprep.revtrak.net. 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.

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR FAMILIES OF ENGLISH LEARNER (EL) STUDENTS
Dear Parent or Guardian,
We are writing to let you know of a new change in how we will be sending letters that outline EL program placement and other service decisions home.
As part of the EL program, we notify you with a letter when your student is first screened and placed in the EL/multilingual program, when they exit from services after demonstrating proficiency on our annual proficiency assessment and for other required program communication.
YES Prep has started working with Ellevation – a software that supports our EL program – to digitally send this information home by email instead of giving a letter to your child.
If we have permission to contact you, you may receive an email with the subject line “New Message from YES Prep on Ellevation.” Further instructions for how to access your child/dependent’s parent letter will be provided in the email.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Ockelberry at (713) 967-9307.
Thank you for your cooperation in rolling out this new system!
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
