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.
