Returning Family Financial Aid Application Deadline Today, December 5
The financial aid application deadline for returning families is today, December 5, 2025. Like previous years, we have partnered with the financial aid processing company—Blackbaud Financial Aid. We hope to distribute financial aid decisions to returning families starting as early as mid-December and continuing through January. This timeline allows Wheaton Academy to grant aid awards to returning families before new family aid awards are considered, as over 80% of our financial aid awards are historically distributed by February.
For more information, please click this link: https://families.wheatonacademy.org/aid/
Please note: If you have an incoming student for the 2026-2027 school year, be sure to include them on your family’s financial aid application. Additionally, be sure your new incoming student is applied and accepted through our admissions process as soon as possible as we only award financial aid to accepted students.
Senior Picture Submission
It’s time to submit senior pictures for the yearbook! For their senior year, students are able to choose a photo that they would like to submit to the yearbook as their senior portrait. Your student may have chosen to take their senior picture with Prestige over the summer or they may have had their photos taken through a different company. Either option is perfectly fine, but each requires different steps for submitting their photo.
If your student chose to take their photos with Prestige, Prestige will ask you which photo you would like to select for the yearbook and it will automatically be sent to us. If this is the option your student chose, please simply select the photo you want submitted to the yearbook, and no further action is needed. You are all set!
If your student had their photo taken with a different company, that is perfectly fine as well. However, since Wheaton Academy does not work directly with other companies, you will need to submit your chosen photo to yearbook@wheatonacademy.org. Once you have sent in your student’s photo, you are good to go!
Please keep a few things in mind when selecting the photo you plan to submit to the yearbook:
- Please do not send in a cropped or altered photo. Our system will not allow us to import a screenshot or cropped photo. Please make sure to send the original photo via email to yearbook@wheatonacademy.org. Please send the photo as a file, not a link. Thank you!
- Please submit a forward facing, clear picture of your student’s face from the shoulders up, with a non-distracting background. Due to the dimensions of the yearbook photo frame, all photos will be cropped from the shoulders up. You are welcome to send in a full body photo, but please understand that given the dimensions of the frame, it will need to be cropped. Please do not crop the photo before sending it as the program will not allow us to upload it. We will crop it when we import it.
- When emailing your student’s photo, please include their first and last name.
All photos must be submitted by December 19, 2025.
How To Access Your PSAT Results
Students should have access to the scores for the PSAT test they took in October. Please watch this video for a step-by-step guide to viewing scores and interpreting the data: Understanding Your Digital PSAT Score Report. To access their score, students should do the following:
- Go to the following website: studentscores.collegeboard.org/home Student Score Reports.
- Have students create a College Board account if they do not have one already or log in to their account if they have an existing one.
- Have students write down their password/ username and share it with you so you can access it each year throughout high school.
- If they have issues with their login or password, they need to contact the College Board customer service phone number for more help. Wheaton Academy cannot assist with College Board account information or passwords.
** Please note that accessing the test results using their College Board Account provides more robust information and connection to Khan Academy practice. So, this is the best way to access their scores. They will also need this account to register for future SAT tests or to access AP test results.
If a student cannot access their score using options 1 and 2 above, please have them come to Student Services and talk to Bart Gregersen. He can assist them with locating their scores.

REAL ID Needed for Senior Trip Flights
If your child is attending the Senior Trip and will be 18 years old at the time of travel, please be sure to have a real ID or a passport for boarding. This is now required to travel domestically.
From the travel website:
Illinois residents 18 and older who plan to fly domestically, or access certain federal facilities will need a REAL ID by May 7, 2025. If you do not get a REAL ID, you will need another federally accepted form of identification, such as a passport, to board a domestic flight or enter these facilities.
Please make an appointment to get a real ID ASAP. We will not be able to get your child on the airline flights without the Real ID or Passport.
Senior Ads for the Yearbook
Senior yearbook ads will be available for purchase again this year! Please follow this link if you would like to purchase an ad for your student. Size options include a quarter-page, half-page, or full-page ad. You will design your ad on the website, which will be directly imported into the yearbook – nothing needs to be sent to Wheaton Academy. Yearbook ads can be purchased until May 1, 2026. In past years, a free yearbook was included with the purchase of an ad. Please note that Jostens has changed its policy and no longer includes a free yearbook with ad purchase, so yearbooks will need to be purchased separately. You can purchase a yearbook using the same link as the link to the ads. Please contact Ms. Rusthoven with any questions (krusthoven@wheatonacademy.org). Thanks!
