Wheaton R-III School District

The Wheaton R-III School District will be closed on Monday, January 26th, 2026 due to unsafe road conditions. This will be A.M.I. Day Number 1. Students, please complete all assignments as instructed by your teachers.

Stay safe!

We would like to invite Mrs. Bradley's ELL students and their families and Mrs. Amica's PAT students and families to a family connection event coming up in February!

Congratulations to our January Bulldogs of the Month!

We are thinking ahead to the 2026-2027 school year. If you have a student that you would like to enroll for PK or Kindergarten, please call to sign up for a screening. Screenings will take approximately 1 hour to complete. Please make sure that your student qualifies based on the age requirement. All currently enrolled students will need to complete another screening!
Please reach out to Mrs. Haynes with any questions you may have.
