New Construction: As you can see,
construction for our new gym is in full force. Please do not access
the WYE grounds from any location that are
marked off by the construction team. Barricades and fencing are
there for your safety, please do not walk around. Please also advise,
that student walkers are not allowed access to the WYE grounds from the north
side of the building, again the barricades, fencing that was placed by the
construction team are here for everyone's safety. Moving forward, please
do not access the north side of the WYE building for access to entrance of the
school. Thank you for your understanding.
