If a space is offered to you, it will come as an email indicating that you need to reply within a set number of days. We are on Spring Break now, so just make sure you reply by email to registrar@westmountcharter.com by April 11 so we can process your acceptance as soon as we get back!
MOST spaces, however, will not be offered until we are back from our break (we return April 11). As stated elsewhere, we will do our best to let you know as soon as possible, but our notifications could go as late as April 29.

Spring Break March 26-April 10
We continue to process the March 4th test results and assess all other admissions documentation. Given the volume of applicants, and the fact that our spring break is nearly upon us (March 26-April 10), it is unlikely that we’ll be offering many spaces until we are back in April. Rest assured, we’ve not forgotten about you!!

If you move or change emails...
If you move or change email addresses, please send your updated information to registrar@westmountcharter.com , also indicating your child's name and the grade he/she is applying for.
When we're ready to let you know about your child's admission status it is done by email, so it's really important that we have the most up to date information on file!

When will I hear?
Students who were at Westmount for testing/assessment day on March 4 can expect to receive an E-MAIL from the School by April 29 indicating the results of your intake assessment.
We'd all like this to happen quicker, but the reality is that we have to score all of the tests and review all the application materials from hundreds of applicants. A futher complicating factor is that our Spring Break is coming up from March 25 to April 10.
Please be patient, and trust that we will be notifying you as soon as we possibly can!!!

High School Interviews
There has been an adjustment to the "High School Interview" procedure for students who were part of the grade 9-12 intake assessment at Westmount on March 4th. Due to the high number of applicants, not every student who did the March 4th assessment will be scheduled for an interview. Instead, the intake team will be reviewing the test results and other application documents over the coming days, and will be selecting a smaller number of students to be interviewed.
If you are going to be interviewed, you can expect a phone call by the middle of March to arrange for your interview appointment time!

Testing Day! - Friday March 4
If you submitted your student's application by February 25th, THE STUDENT IS EXPECTED TO ATTEND the testing/assessment day on Friday, March 4th.
There's no "studying" to do for this, the student just needs to get a good night's sleep to be at his/her best for a busy day! If your child is going to be absent, PLEASE phone the school and leave a message.
On Friday,
1. Park in the staff/student parking lot south of the school. There will be hundreds of children testing, so make sure you leave plenty of time to get here and find a parking space! If the parking lot is full, on-street parking is very limited.
2. Rooms will be open at 8:45, testing will begin at 9:00 AM.
3. When you enter the school building there will be many helpers to assist you in finding the correct testing room for your student. Lists will also be posted on the room doors.
4. High School students (applying for grades 9-12) will finish at about 12 noon but all other grades (1-8) are here for the full day, to 2:45 PM.
5. We strongly discourage parents from disrupting your child's day by taking him/her out for lunch - please send lunch and a good snack (or two) with your child.
6. Elementary grade applicants will be doing some activities outdoors, weather permitting, so please make sure that he/she has appropriate outdoor winter wear.
If you would like to participate in a fun event later on Friday, March 4th, Westmount's SPRING FLING will be happening in the Main Gym, from 4:00-6:45 PM.
