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!

Student Success Coaching
As we begin a new semester, the Center for Lifelong Learning is excited to help every student build the organization, focus, and confidence they need to succeed.

The Center for Lifelong Learning is grateful to have certified executive functioning and life coach Holly Taritas on our team. Holly holds an M.S. in Education, with 60 hours in Supervision and Curriculum, and a B.S. in Child Development, and can help provide meaningful growth for your student — not just academically, but in organization, confidence, and resilience.
