Wyoming State Statute 21-4-302.1 ensures that military families can enroll students prior to arriving in the state through electronic methods. Information on how families can utilize this legislation is provided on the Wyoming Department of Education website at https://edu.wyoming.gov/parents/military-family-support/advance-enrollment-guidance/. The handy checklist provided by the Wyoming Department of Education is a best practice example of supporting military families.

Wyoming State Statute 21‑3‑134 establishes a Purple Star School program which meets all of the requirements of a successful program including student-led initiatives, a dedicated school webpage, professional development for staff, and a dedicated school contact for military families. The Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) website (https://edu.wyoming.gov/transparency/education-awards/wyoming-purple-star-school/) clearly describes the Purple Star program and lists participating schools. WDE provides military families moving to and living in Wyoming an excellent resource for information and support. Wyoming could clarify the recertification process for the Purple Star program to receive full credit for this policy.
