Be Sure You Receive Email From Seton

Several families have reported lately that they did not receive email notifications from Seton after they enrolled, or uploaded work to be graded, etc. If you don’t receive these emails, chances are they are being sent automatically to your junk mail or spam folders and being deleted without ever being seen.

You can tell your email program to send items from Seton directly to your inbox rather than to your junk mail. The way to do this varies from program to program, but basically you need to list Seton as a trusted sender of mail. To receive email notifications, you need to list “setonhome.org” as a trusted sender. To receive notices of discounts from Seton Educational Media, you need to list “setonbooks.com” as a trusted sender.
