2023-2024 Inclement Weather Guidelines
Take note of the communication process for informing families about any changes in our school schedule due to inclement weather.
WILSON SCHOOL DISTRICT INCLEMENT WEATHER COMMUNICATION GUIDELINES 2023-2024
As snow or other inclement weather situations may affect the school day, Superintendent Dr. Chris Trickett will be in touch with our Directors of Transportation and Operations to make a decision based on the information presented to him to maintain student and employee safety. We also work closely with our local municipalities as they monitor road conditions in various parts of our school community.
PHONE (outgoing call):
A phone message will go out to all families and staff members.
**Please Note** Morning closing/delay calls default to primary and cell phone numbers in the Family Access system. Parents can change phone numbers and opt in or out of school closing/delay phone calls. Please visit Skyward to make any necessary changes.
WEBSITE: (www.WilsonSD.org) Status message will be posted on the main district homepage.
SOCIAL MEDIA: Messages will be posted on the District’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
PHONE (incoming call): Call the main district number (610-670-0180) and choose “7,” and we will have a greeting with the district status.
TEXT MESSAGING: To sign up for SMS text notifications, you will need to enable this in Skyward Family Access. You must use a web browser (for the best experience, use a PC), as the Skyward Mobile App does not support this functionality. Please review this instruction guide to ensure that you properly enable the texting option. We will ONLY share inclement weather and school-day emergency notifications through text messaging.
Television: WFMZ Channel 69
Please note: In Easton, PA (Northampton County), there is a Wilson AREA School District. We are the Wilson School District. Sometimes we will be listed as Wilson-West Lawn. Please pay close attention to the name that you see on the screen if you choose to watch the TV station for notification.

Support the Wilson Education Foundation!
Every school year, community donors make a positive impact on the 6,300 students and over 1150 staff members in the Wilson School District by contributing to the Wilson Education Foundation (WEF). The non-tax dollars raised by WEF, a 501(c)(3) organization, help us with our mission to support the Wilson School District (WSD) in the areas of Student Experience, Teaching Excellence, and Community Engagement.
Funds raised by the WEF support the I-STEM program, scholarships for graduating seniors, the Wilson Summer Learning Camp, Venture Grants to support teachers’ creative and innovative projects, district-wide events, and Capital Campaigns.
We also support students and families in need and programs promoting mental health awareness. The Foundation organizes other annual community and fundraising events throughout the year, including the Bulldog Bash & Auction, and the Iron Chef Event in March!
Together, we can continue to positively impact students' lives in our district, giving them unique opportunities and experiences. Please consider making an end-of-the-year gift to WEF, every dollar makes a difference! Thank you in advance for your support. Visit wilsonsd.org/EdFoundation for more information.

Wilson Widespread is a project created from the collaboration of the High School Media and Communications interns! It is a series featuring Wilson students, clubs, alumni, and helpful resources. Our last month’s student spotlight featured High School senior and musician, Riley McCracken. Throughout the year, Riley participates in various Wilson music groups such as the concert choir and treble choir, and she participates in shows and musicals through the Wilson Theater Company. Outside of school, Riley composes her own songs and performs gigs at local businesses in the county. She is appreciative of the support from teachers such as her Advanced Journalism and Creative Writing teacher, Mrs. Fish, and credits Wilson for opening the door to new opportunities, nurturing her passion, and most importantly,
for finding her home.
