Uniform Policy & How to Purchase
Please read the whole policy on our website.
LOGO TOPS ARE REQUIRED:
WJPS logo tops come in many styles: t-shirt; long sleeve or short sleeve white blouse/oxford shirt; long sleeve or short sleeve white, navy, black or gold polo (a royal blue polo is available exclusively from Lands’ End); white or navy turtleneck; navy sweatshirt (zip-up or pullover) or navy cardigan. The WJPS logo must be visible at all times.
Purchase tops with the logo on them already from Lands' End or Ideal Uniforms. You can purchase other items from them with the school logo, but only tops are required to have the logo. Jumpers are available to purchase with the logo.

Arrival & Dismissal Locations
High School Entrance & Exit
Middle School Entrance & Exit
High School Entrance & Exit is through the main doors on 192 Street.
Middle School Entrance & Exit is on Francis Lewis Boulevard. There is a sign on the fence at the entrance.
The doors open at 7:30 am and students go to the auditorium until approximately 7:50 am. During that time, they can have a cold breakfast of cereal, bagel, yogurt, milk, etc. They can also go to the cafeteria for a hot breakfast.
After that, they can go to their lockers and get ready for class.
Please do not double park near the school.
Arrange to drop-off or pick-up your child a block away from the school building.
_______________________________
Yellow Bus Service
Please fill out the School Bus Request Form so we can determine which bus stop is closest to your home and if you need round trip service, or just pick up or drop off.
Around mid-August or so, you will be able to log into your NYCSA account and look up your child's bus route information.
Students can have yellow bus service or a metro card - not both.
Students in the SONYC after-school program do not qualify for a bus to take them home.
_______________________________
MetroCards
MetroCards are issued during the first few days of school. Students should make arrangements to get to and from school during that time (either with their own MetroCard, car pooling, etc.).
The Q28 and Q76 stop on Francis Lewis Boulevard by the school
The Q31 and Q16 are a couple of blocks away
The Q13 is available with a transfer at Northern and Francis Lewis Boulevard

Locks & Lockers
HALL LOCKERS
We have special school combination locks for hall lockers. There is a $5 one-time fee for a lock, that is payable only once while a student attends WJPS. These are special locks with a key hole that lets administrators unlock the lock if a student is having trouble. We also have a spreadsheet of lock combinations to assist students.
GYM LOCKERS
At the start of PE class, students can change into t-shirt and shorts/sweatpants and leave their regular clothes in a small locker in the locker room. After PE class, they must empty that locker. Students can bring their own lock for the gym lockers.

School Email Account
Students are expected to check their email on a regular basis, and are responsible for the information sent to them.
Middle school accounts can only send and receive emails from other @wjps.org accounts.
All new students will also receive a Google Classroom invitation for an Announcements classroom. They are expected to accept that classroom invitation.

Pupil Path for Students & Parents
Students and parents have separate accounts with separate registration codes. We will not have the registration codes until the system turns over to the new school year at the end of August or early September. When we have the codes, we will reach out to you.
