Uniform Policy for 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 have a standard uniform policy for the 2024-2025 school year. Students must wear a YES Prep-branded polo or spirit shirt four days a week, with the option to wear a college shirt on Fridays. We will be communicating more details with families in the next two weeks, including how to purchase YES Prep polos and spirit shirts.
YES Prep Public Schools will continue to require all students to use clear or mesh backpacks for the 2024-2025 School Year. Small non-transparent bags no longer the 6” x 9” will be allowed for personal items, such as school supplies, cellphones, money and hygiene products.

Senior Signing Day Permission Slips:
It’s that time of year again! On Tuesday, May 21st YES Prep will hold it’s annual Senior Signing Day at the Fertitta Center at the University of Houston. Grades 8 – 10 will be invited for the afternoon session to celebrate seniors from across the district. Permission slips are available now in Skyward and are due by Wednesday, May 8th.
Grade Level Goals :
To close the year strong, each grade level has created a list of specific goals for your student to work to accomplish.
In 6th & 7th grade, students will be focusing on earning “GRIT”: Showing Growth with their academic work, being Responsible by coming to school and earning no demerits (or being a ‘zero hero’), be responsible and wear IDs every day, and build Trust by having no honor code violations or Code of Conduct violations.
In 8th grade, students are working to earn their spot on the 8th grade spring trip by having the fewest negative points (Demerits/Detentions/Suspensions). If you have questions about the 8th grade spring trip, please reach out to Tamir.Jackson@yesprep.org
In High School, students have a “Bingo board” of goals they are working to get signed off on by their teachers. These goals range from being present every day, to earning Frequent Flyer Miles, to showing our core values.
We are excited to end the year strong and celebrate your Aviator students!
