SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY
WYWLA Students are required to wear uniforms to school each day. All new families should visit our website to review school uniform requirements. We have two vendors who are approved to provide uniform options for our students. We also allow parents to purchase select items from retail stores. Please review all policies to make sure your daughter will be dressed properly on the first day of school.
We are currently reviewing our PE uniform requirements. PE items will be available on June 2nd. All students enrolled in PE will be required to purchase the required t-shirt and approved bottoms. Stay tuned for more information regarding PE attire.
