Art Show Reception at 6:30 pm in the Atrium
Academy Awards at 7:00 pm in the FAC
This year’s Art Show will be available for viewing the entire week of May 20 in the Atrium. There will be a special reception at 6:30 in the Atrium before the Academy Awards begin where we will celebrate the gifts and accomplishments of our students during the 2023-2024 school year. All are welcome to attend. If your student will receive an award, you should have received a paper invitation in the mail.

Advanced Drama Show Tickets
We are incredibly excited about this year’s production of Into the Woods! This is the first time the Advanced Drama class has ever chosen a musical, and we anticipate that the show will be very popular.  Accordingly, this year we are running online ticket sales, like what we do for the Spring Musical.  This year you will be able to choose and reserve seats online through Eventbrite.  The show is on May 23, 24, & 25. Please visit the school’s Into the Woods webpage for more ticket-ordering information.

August Schools
We wanted to notify you that we will be changing our Health Information System for the 2024-2025 school year to August Schools.  August Schools will be replacing Magnus.  We will give you much more information about creating an account and filling out necessary forms in our Back-to-School checklist which will be released in May for those enrolled in Summer Academy and in June for everyone else.  If you have any questions about the system change, please contact Jenn Sezonov – jsezonov@wheatonacademy.org.

Host an International Student
The International Department is looking for families to host international students this fall. Hosting can be a wonderful experience to learn about other cultures and have a ministry as a family. Host families receive a monthly stipend and lots of support from our school. If you are interested or have questions, contact Julie Grant (International Student and Host Family Coordinator) at jgrant@wheatonacademy.org.
