Dress Code Reminders: Allowable solid color sweatshirts with a large logo during the school day are: College or Military, WEHS, WHS or Marauder. Any other sweatshirt is to have a logo no larg-er than a credit card in the upper left corner. Students will be asked to place unacceptable sweat-shirts in their lockers during the school day. On Thursdays, students who where a college or mili-tary shirt or sweatshirt may wear jeans. On Fridays, students may wear jeans if they were a Wylie spirit shirt. This includes Wylie Community club, organization or activity that a student may par-ticipate in during the school day or outside of school.

Cell Phone Reminder: Students may bring cell phones to school; however, they are to be turned off and placed in their lockers during the instructional part of the day 8:15-3:30 unless the teach-ers asks that they be used to support student learning and instruction. Students should not be placing calls, receiving texts or calls, texting during the school day unless asked to do so by an adult in the building. If your child is ill, he or she is to report to the clinic and Nurse Shelley will call parents accordingly. Cell phones may be confiscated and returned at the end of the day if students are not following campus expectations.
