Health Services

The Wheaton Academy Health Office is open Monday through Friday, 10 am to 3 pm on school attendance days. The office has a direct line at 630-562-7504 to our nurse, Shari Gregersen. It is located in the library, first floor, behind the main desk.

Absence Procedures
Any time a student does not attend school the parent is responsible to notify the school attendance line (630-562-7500, ext. 7300) before 9:00 a.m. If we have not heard from the parent by 9:00 a.m., the office staff will attempt to contact the parents as soon as possible. We want to be sure that any student not at school is accounted for by the parents. If a student arrives late, he/she should report to the attendance person in the main office and have a note explaining the reason for being late. An explanatory note or prior phone call is a prerequisite for the partial day absence being excused. A student must be in attendance three periods of the day, or 2 on a block day (excluding lunch) to be involved in any school activities that take place that day. Exceptions may be requested for unavoidable absences (funerals, delayed medical appointments, etc.) that do not allow attendance in a minimum of three classes.
