Uniforms
Uniforms for the 2023-24 School Year
Uniforms are an indispensable feature of Wesley. They help to maintain an elevated standard of personal appearance, promote a dignified school climate, and foster school pride.
Beginning fall of 2023, all students in grades K-8 will wear GRAY polos. PYP and MYP students will be distinguished by different Wesley logos reflected on each shirt. Please take time to read over the 2023-24 uniform policy. As a reminder, Flynn O'Hara Uniforms will be our primary uniform vendor. You can order online here or in-store at their Sandy Springs location:
6311 ROSWELL ROAD NE
SANDY SPRINGS, GA 30328
(404) 260-7584
Parents will still have the option to purchase patches separately at the Wesley School Store. Please note, if you purchase polos directly from Flynn O’Hara, the patch will already be adhered to your child’s shirt.

The Wesley PTSA holds Used Uniform Sales throughout the year and at PTSA meetings. All proceeds benefit the PTSA, which supports the Wesley school community.
If you can volunteer or want to donate gently used uniforms, contact ptsa@wesleyacademy.org.

We keep a variety of uniforms at the school in case of accident, illnesses, or for students who are out of uniform. If you have any uniforms to donate, please drop off anytime to the nurse’s office or email the PTSA at ptsa@wesleyacademy.org.

Hardship
Determinations of hardship will be made on a case-by-case basis. Families who experience hardship may notify the school in person or in writing. When possible and related to circumstances, the school will make efforts to support the family in need. However, it remains the responsibility of the family to ensure that students are properly dressed each day.
