Technology Update – Last Day to Return Surfaces is Today!
After every four years, we update our student technology, so Wheaton Academy will no longer use the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 for student-assigned laptops. This year we are pleased to offer the option of keeping the Surface Pro for a fee of $75; simply keep the laptop, and the fee will be charged to your Tuition Management account. Students who do not return the laptop, keyboard, and charger in good condition by noon on Friday, June 2, will be charged the $75 fee. Please note that software licenses for Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Cloud are not included.  Those will stop working.  Students are best served by factory resetting their Surface Pro (in Settings, Update & Security, Recovery) and using a personal Microsoft account.  Questions? Please contact Bob Vishanoff at bobvishanoff@wheatonacademy.org or 630 562 7554.
