Inclement Weather With winter rapidly approaching, please review the following regarding inclement weather: If Wyoming Seminary delays, closes, or cancels classes, it will be announced via the emergency text messaging system as well as on local media. We will make any decisions regarding weather closures and communicate them in as timely a manner as possible.
Delayed Opening: If Wyoming Seminary is opening on time and your school district is on a delayed opening schedule, your student will be permitted to arrive in accordance with your district's announced time, whether your student rides the bus or is driven to school. School Closing: If Wyoming Seminary is open and your school district closes, your student will not be expected in school. If you wish to transport your student in this situation, please do so at your own discretion and with caution. Early Dismissal: If we are in school and are contacted by a school district about an early dismissal, parents of children who ride the bus may expect their students to be dismissed when that bus arrives. Students who do not ride the bus but whose district is closing early may be picked up at the early dismissal time. Please note that, by definition, early dismissal days are hectic. To the extent that any non-essential calls to the office can be minimized, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for adhering to the choice made on the early dismissal form unless there is an emergency. It is extremely difficult to amend plans during the chaos of an early dismissal - thanks for your cooperation! Early Dismissal Form: Please verify that the early dismissal form you completed for the 2019-20 school year is still valid. If you need to make changes or have any questions please call the office at (570) 718-6600. Our students' safety is our main concern during bad weather. As always, please check our homepage often and sign up for text alerts for weather-related announcements. For more detailed information about our Inclement Weather Policy please see our Lower School handbook. Art To Remember - November 15 The artwork and order forms from Art To Remember have arrived! We will be sending the form home this week so please be on the look out! There are many wonderful items to order for you and your family as holiday gifts!

SEM Goes Shopping 2019 Sem Goes Shopping is a wonderful annual holiday tradition at the Lower School. It is a time for students to get into the holiday spirit and do a little shopping on their own during the school day. This year's shop will run from Monday, December 2 through Friday, December 6. The shop will be open from 8:30 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. The Parents' Association is asking parents who wish to contribute to do so by donating rolls of wrapping paper, tissue paper, gift bags, gift labels, tape and ribbon. You can drop your donations off in the office or leave them in the box outside the Mural Room. We will continue to accept donations up until when the shop opens. For those of you willing to assist us with this event, you may use the following Sign Up Genius link.
Children & Youth Gift Project - November 11 Students in Grades 4 through 8 will be given the opportunity to provide gifts to a less fortunate child. If participating, your student will select a child's name with a few gift ideas to take home to you the week of November 11. The gifts should not exceed $25.00 and should be returned to his/her homeroom by Wednesday, December 4. Please use gift bags or clear cellophane with ribbon but do not wrap with paper.
