General News

Spiritual Life Week Offering
An important part of Spiritual Life Week is the offering held during the final chapel of the week. The offering is taken and is used to support the 23 children that Wheaton Academy sponsors through Kids Alive International in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.  An offering was collected in chapel today. Students or families may also give online by using this link through Friday evening. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Gregersen.

Re-Enrollment Deposits for the 2022-2023 School Year—NOW OPEN and Due February 28 
As we prepare for the 2022-2023 academic year, we require all parents of current freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to pay a re-enrollment deposit of $175 in February. 

The process for paying the $175 has changed. Please follow the instructions here. Please refrain from using the Smart Tuition website log-in and only access Tuition Management through your OnCampus. 

If you choose to opt-out for the 2022-2023 academic year and wish to no longer attend Wheaton Academy, please contact the Wheaton Academy Business Office in writing no later than February 28, 2022.

Host families of international students—you, nor your student’s parents, need to complete these steps as international students utilize a different re-enrollment process.  Please contact Sheri Guarnizo, Finance & Accounts Receivable Coordinator sguarnizo@wheatonacademy.org, if you have any questions. 

Course Registration for Returning Students
On Monday, February 28, and Monday, March 7, we will host the Returning Student Registration Night.  Like last year, we are inviting students and parents to meet with a Wheaton Academy faculty or staff member for 20 minutes to register for classes for the 2021-22 school year.  In addition to registering for classes, students and parents will be able to have questions answered regarding the school’s suggestions for class registration.  This night’s purpose is to ensure that students and parents feel confident with the class choices being made for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year and ensure that students maximize the many opportunities for learning at Wheaton Academy.

On Wednesday, February 16, returning students will receive a presentation during advisory to hear about curricular updates and receive their course recommendations.  At that point, students will bring their recommended schedules home for review with their parents. This registration sheet should be brought to Registration Night to help guide the conversation with a Wheaton Academy faculty or staff member.

Time slots for registration on Monday, February 28 and Monday, March 7 will go from 1:00 – 9:00 p.m. We have also opened up some additional time slots in the afternoons of March 1, 2, 3, and 4.  Please sign up for registration by using the following links:

Monday, February 28
Tuesday, March 1 – Friday, March 4
Monday, March 7

If you are unable to make any of the times offered, you can schedule a time to meet with Angie Roberts, the school registrar, by emailing her at aroberts@wheatonacademy.org

We NEED about 12 people per show to make three dozen large cookies each.

Thanks for helping to make this event happen!
