Student Schedules were e-mailed to each family on June 27. The schedules are now also available on OnCampus.
Please note: the order of classes may change as we continue to balance classes.
We use PushCoin, an online debit account, for student lunch payment. It is an optional service we provide to those students who purchase lunches. All enrolled families should have already received a code via email. If you are newly enrolled, you should receive one within a week of enrolling. Check your spam if you don’t see one. Contact Angie Roberts, School Registrar if you’re still unable to locate your registration code.
Once you receive this code, you can register at www.pushcoin.com and questions can be answered at ask@pushcoin.com.
For any Wheaton Academy related questions regarding lunch, contact Ruth Lindstedt at rlindstedt@wheatonacademy.org after August 1.
Please note upon graduation or withdrawal, the family can request a refund for the balance in their student’s Pushcoin account. Any Pushcoin accounts which have a balance of $10 or less will be donated to Wheaton Academy’s Annual Fund.
If your student didn’t take Summer Academy, stop by Wheaton Academy IT Department during regular office hours to pick up your student’s computer and login credentials to their student email.
Laptops will be available to pick up in the Front Office on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. beginning July 10th. Once you pick up your laptop, follow the instructions here to set it up.
School IDs can also be picked up at the same time. If you have not already submitted a picture for your school ID, please email Bob Vishanoff.
Please Note: You cannot order books until you have picked up your student’s laptop and log-in information. (Please see the next drop down for more information.)
We have updated our book ordering process! Please visit our Book Rental Page HERE for more information and a step-by-step process.
Please Note: You must use your student’s Wheaton Academy email (studentfirstname.lastname@walearner.org) to order books. You cannot order books until you have picked up your student’s laptop and log-in information. (Please see the previous drop-down for information on how to pick up your laptop this summer.)
If you have more than one student at Wheaton Academy, you will need each student‘s email with eCampus password. You must log in separately for each student, as their schedule information automatically populates the customized booklist through their email.
Students’ schedules are available in OnCampus. Log in to review the schedule, but please remember the order of the classes may change as we continue to balance classes.
If your schedule says “Contact Student Services” in one of your class periods, please contact Angie Roberts as soon as possible.
We will not make any schedule changes between August 1 and August 24, (the first day of school). Schedule changes after the first day of school will be limited. Please note: dropping a class after the first 10 days will results in a W (withdraw) or WF (withdraw fail) on your student’s transcript.
