Tuition Assistance Drive

November 16, 2017 by Kenley

Help us reach our year-end goal.

Here is one family’s story of how they were impacted by Westlake’s tuition assistance program.

Our loving God continues to meet the daily needs of Westlake through the generosity of His people. As our school began another year our student body was a bit smaller, but the need of our Westlake family had grown. Westlake Christian Academy awarded $550,000 in Tuition Assistance this past spring and summer. An increase of 10% from last year. In doing so:

  • 60 Families received Tuition Assistance so they can have their child discipled at WCA.
  • 133 Students are able to attend WCA thanks to Tuition Assistance
  • 62% Of the WCA student body is helped by Tuition Assistance
  • 39% Of WCA’s operating budget goes toward tuition assistance

Donate to Disciple from Now to Eternity.

Vision & Hearing Screenings

November 9, 2017 by Erica Adkins

The Lake County Health Department will conduct Vision and Hearing Screenings at Westlake Christian Academy the morning of Tuesday, November 14, 2017. This is to follow up on the communication sent home with your child.

The Health Department does charge for this service, but it is the most cost-effective way to meet the IL state requirement that hearing and vision screening be provided annually for children:

Grade Cost Required Screenings
PS/PK $4 Hearing & Vision ($2 each hearing & vision screen)
K $5 Hearing
1st $5 Hearing
2nd $10 Hearing & Vision ($5 each hearing & vision screen)
3rd $5 Hearing
8th $5 Vision
Students with an IEP $10 Hearing & Vision ($5 each hearing & vision screen - All students must receive screenings

 

We are asking parents to send in payment for this mandatory screening by Friday, November 10 or Monday, November 13, in an envelope with your child’s name and grade.

Note: students who wear glasses are exempted from vision screening.

 

Please contact the school office with any questions, 847-548-6209 ext. 0 or [email protected].
