PSAT Results
Dear Wheaton Academy Families,
This past October many of our students participated in the PSAT suite of assessments offered by the College Board. These tests help us monitor student growth and progress over time and can provide both us and you with insight into areas of strength and growth for your student.  We are happy to let you know that test results are available for viewing and can be accessed through your student’s College Board profile. (studentscores.collegeboard.org ).

The College Board implemented a new test format this year; all PSAT Fall testing was completed digitally, and the updated format allowed for test redesign. College Board piloted these changes, and they are confident that the scores on the new tests are comparable to previous assessments. We will keep you informed of any new information that becomes available as they analyze the results from this fall.

As you access and seek to understand test results, please let us know if you have questions.  You can reach out to Vice Principal Brad Thornton (bthornton@wheatonacademy.org) with questions.

From the Desk of the Principal
Dear Parents – During this fall, I have challenged you and our students to think about how and if we use social media. I continue to be convicted of the value of limiting students’ social media intake as data continue to come out with compelling evidence that we help students in this area.  Today, as we continue to pray for the situation in Israel, it has come to our attention that deeply disturbing videos, including footage of hostages, may be spread across social media in the coming days. We strongly encourage you to be vigilant in supervising your students and their use of social media. We suggest you put up additional parental controls and talk with your student about exercising extreme discretion around social media both now and in the future – Kori Hockett
