Uniforms
YES Prep uniform policy is centered around the values of equity and school pride. A school uniform allows for community building and options within the uniform selection allows for student and family choice.
Tejas - YES Prep's uniform vendor
Student uniforms should be purchased through the YES Prep approved vendor website. The vendor web address is communicated during the summer prior to the start of school. Students are responsible for ordering their required uniform through this site and having a complete uniform starting the first day of school through the remainder of the school year.
Deadline and Delivery Information
Orders received between July 1-15, will be available for pick up or delivery to your home the first week of August. Orders placed from July 15-31, will be available the week of August 15 for pick up or delivery to your home. We will not be accepting ANY returns, or exchanges until August 15 (at which time all returns and exchanges must fall within return guidelines).
Uniform Policy
YES Prep will waive the uniform policy for students for the 2020 Fall Semester. YES Prep understands the COVID-19 pandemic has created or increased the economic challenges our families face. Students will follow the “free dress” policy as outlined in our Campus Supplement.
