Wyomissing Area Jr/Sr High School

Grade 7 Orienation Experience

2025 – 2026

We are making plans for the arrival of our Class of 2031 at Wyomissing Area Jr/Sr High School in the Fall. In an effort to provide a more personalized orientation experience for our upcoming 7th grade students, we have established two different dates this summer for them to go on a guided tour of the building. These small-group tours will be led by High School Student Council students and will last approximately 45-60 minutes. On the tour dates listed below, students will be given tentative copies of their class schedules, their locker assignments, a tour of the building, opportunities to ask questions, and time to independently walk through their schedules and try opening and closing their lockers. Please note that tours begin promptly at the times listed.

Students are strongly encouraged to attend one of these small-group tours to increase their level of comfort and familiarity with the building. Parents are welcome to attend as well. Please use the West Entrance off of Cambridge Avenue (Door # 1, at the Flagpole), or Door #9 (at the back of the Auditorium) for these events. It is very important that each family decide which tour date and time they will attend. Please use the following 7th Grade Orientation sign-up link to schedule your student’s small group orientation date and time. Please sign up for only one tour. You are able to edit your sign-up date and/or time if you need to make a change after you have scheduled a tour. Please contact Janice Duquette at 610-374-0739 (ext. 2132) with any questions.

• Friday, August 8th Available tour times: 11:30 AM, 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 5:30 PM

Also, we are offering 7th grade students an optional On-Your-Own Visitation Day on Thursday, August 14th from 8 AM to 2 PM. This day is not in lieu of the scheduled small group tours listed above; it is simply an additional opportunity for students to increase their familiarity with the building prior to the start of the school year. On this day, students are welcome to walk through their class schedules and practice using their lockers. No pre-registration is necessary, and there will be no formal assistance available to students on this day. This is the only day incoming 7th graders will be able to visit the building without being part of an organized tour this summer. Please use the West Entrance off of Cambridge Avenue (Door #1, at the Flagpole) for this event.

Finally, there will be an optional 7th Grade Parent Meeting on Monday, August 18th at 6 PM in the JSHS Auditorium. We will provide information about student agendas, materials needed for school, the school absence and discipline policies, lunch accounts, Power School, athletics, etc. This meeting is intended specifically for parents only, and there will not be an opportunity for building tours at this time. Please use the flagpole entrance (Door #1) off of Cambridge Avenue, Door #7 at the end of the parking lot, Door #8 beside the Auditorium, or the Auditorium entrance (Door #9) for this event. In closing, we hope that you and your family have a wonderful summer, and we look forward to seeing you at orientation!

Sincerely,

Dr. Corey Jones Principal
