General News
Textbook Sales Begin Monday, July 27
Wheaton Academy has partnered with our bookstore company, eCampus, to offer each family a convenient option for purchasing or renting books. The bookstore will open on Monday, July 27, with free shipping the first week. Students need their walearner email to order books. New families who were not enrolled in Summer Academy should have received an email with login credentials and password setup instructions. Please set up the email as soon as you receive this information, as you cannot order books without the Wheaton Academy email. Please note that your student email password is different from your ecampus password. For step-by-step instructions on how to purchase books, please click here.
Back-to-School Information
Last month, an email was sent to all school families regarding important Back-to-School information and checklists. If you didn’t receive the email please check your junk/spam. You can also access the checklists below:
A Note from the Nurses Office:
Back-to-School Forms are available to be completed now in August schools (our online health information portal). You can find this by logging in to OnCampus from the families tab and scrolling down to the August schools tile. You will need to fill out these for all returning and new students by September 1. Please note, there is a small issue with this year’s form; if your child does not need an EpiPen, inhaler or medication, you can disregard the forms, and they will be deleted when your packet is reviewed.
Here are a few reminders:
- All incoming freshmen or transfer students will need to provide a physical and immunization record.
- All students in the class of 2027 will need to provide proof of a second meningococcal vaccine.
- Any student planning on playing football will need to provide a physical by August 5. Any student trying out for any other fall sport will need to provide the physical by August 10. If your child’s current physical is still valid, you may upload that but will need to provide a new one by the day it will expire which is 395 days after the date of exam.
- The Activities Packet is required for all athletes and must be signed before trying out for a sport. We encourage all other students to complete these forms just in case they change their mind or are participating in a non-IHSA sport (disc club, rock climbing, furnace, etc).
If you have any additional questions, please email Jenn Sezonov at jsezonov@wheatonacademy.org
