Do you LOVE our School?
January will begin a new season of enrollment for new students for the 2023-24 school year. One of the best ways to advertise our school is DWOM (digital word of mouth). Please take minute to write an online review on sites like Google, Facebook, Niche, Nextdoor to help spread the news about Wexford's best kept secret in education!

Emergency Closings and Delays
If inclement weather or some other emergency requires that school be delayed or closed, this information will be announced via email, radio, and/or television. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL OR RECTORY FOR THIS INFORMATION.
In the event the school has a two-hour delay, all children should report to school by 10:15 am. Morning care is cancelled when school is delayed. If a district does not have a delay, the children from that district will follow their normal bussing schedule. If a public school has a delay when the school does not, those children may follow the delayed bussing schedule unless the parent/s can bring them.
Bussing is the responsibility of your local school district; therefore you must listen to their announcement and follow their directives for cancellations and delays. If your district cancels and we do not, there will be no bus service provided. Likewise, if we are on a two-hour delay and your district is running on a regular schedule, please do not put your child on the bus. Please note that children will not be admitted to the building nor will supervision be available if students arrive prior to the two-hour delay start time.
PLEASE NOTE: Because our attendance registers are legal indicators of a child's presence at the times we are in session, children who arrive late or are absent because of busing when school is in session will be marked as Excused Tardy of Excused Absence.

Concession Stand Training for Parents and 8th Graders
Basketball season is starting up which means the concession stand is open. There will be a few hot items such as hotdogs, soft pretzels, warm chocolate chip cookies, ham and cheese rolls and pepperoni rolls. Therefore if you have never received training on how the equipment works in concessions you need to attend training. If you are an 8th grader who would like to volunteer time in the concession stand to earn service hours you need to attend training.
Training will be held at the concession stand on Saturday, November 19th from 12:30pm - 12:45pm. A second session will be held on Tuesday, December 6th from 6:30pm – 6:45pm.
Trained 8th graders and trained Seelos alumni will have access to a signup genius to sign up for the game times they would like to volunteer during the season and earn service hours. Basketball teams will still need to provide one parent volunteer during their games to work in concessions. We will not maintain a sub list as in the past. Up to 2 student volunteers will assist the team parent in concessions during the game.
