General News

A Message from the Principal
We are so grateful to have completed eleven weeks of in-person learning.  God has gone before us and taken care of our students, faculty, and staff, and we give Him the glory for what He has done.  Our faculty have worked hard to provide outstanding learning experiences for all of our students – our in-person and virtual learners.  This has involved new technology, planning for new lessons, and adapting activities to ensure high-level learning occurs within the COVD-guidelines.  As we finish the semester, Monday, November 16, will be an Off-Campus Learning Day and a Professional Learning Day for our faculty.  Students will get their assignments for all seven classes at 9:00 a.m. and the rest of the week will follow a normal schedule.  This time will allow us to plan for the semester’s final push as we seek to finish well and effectively.  Thank you for your on-going support as we UNITE together to serve our students well.  

COVID-19 Update  
At the end of our 11^th week of school, we had one individual test positive for COVID-19. As we have done in previous weeks, we have contacted those who were in close contact with this individual and asked them to quarantine at home for the appropriate time. We continue to be pleased with how well our students are doing with the guidelines set out for them. Please continue to self-certify and follow the protocols we have set in place.

Important Yearbook Information for all Parents
Due to COVID-19 shutdowns, the production of the 2019-20 yearbook was slowed down. We anticipate receiving the yearbooks soon. You may already begin ordering the 2020-2021 yearbook for last year’s purchase price of $25.00 at www.jostensyearbooks.com.  Go to the Yearbooks dropdown to find “Buy Your Yearbook,” then search Wheaton Academy to finish your purchase. They will only be for sale through the website. We do not want you to miss out on receiving a yearbook, so please order yours today! If you do not order via the Jostens link, you will be unable to receive a yearbook next fall.

Senior Ads for Yearbooks
Parents, senior yearbook ads will again be available for purchase for $150 per quarter-page ad. If you order a senior ad, you do not need to order a yearbook through the Jostens website as that fee is included in the $150. Turn in your ad with a check out to Wheaton Academy and send it to the front office to the attention of Jim Holtrop. You may click here for an example of what an ad should look like.
