Dear Wesley families,
I hope you had an enjoyable and restful Labor Day holiday. By all indications, a little time off was needed for everyone.
As we prepare to get back to work tomorrow morning, please be reminded that the school will now begin incentivizing and rewarding students who meet some of the most critical expectations of our school community. Chief among those include on-time arrivals (being seated and ready for class by 8:00 a.m.) and absolute uniform compliance.
This year, we intentionally implemented a month-long "adjustment period" to allow the school community to become adjusted to new changes, and we hope that that flexibility has been well received. We are now, however, transitioning out of that phase.
With regard to uniforms, I would kindly ask that you revisit the 2014-2015 policy found here: http://www.wesleyacademy.org/wesleyadmin/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/WIA-Uniform-Policy-FINAL.pdf. If there are any questions, feel free to contact me directly or call the school for any clarifications that may be necessary. To date, we have been much improved with regard to general uniform compliance, but we are experiencing a few minor violations including socks, footwear, and accessories. Again, please make certain that you review the uniform policy and let us know if you have any questions.
Concerning on-time arrivals, please take note of the Wesley International Academy Tardy Policy:
| 1st – 3rd Tardy: |
Student receives a warning. |
| 5th Tardy: |

| 12th Tardy: |

As always, we truly appreciate your cooperation and support. Take good care and we'll see you in the morning.

Duke Bradley, III
