Transitioning to High School
Westside offers a variety of services and resources to assist current seventh and eighth graders as they embark on their high school journey.
Getting Started and Key Steps of the Process
- Explore websites and high school fairs to establish a shortlist of schools that interest your child.
- Attend Open House events for your chosen schools.
- Schedule campus tours (policies on tours may vary from school to school)
- Once your child feels the "fit" is right for them, fill out an application
- Each school has their own application criteria (feel free to contact the Westside School High School Counseling Team for advice, support, and assistance)
-
Schedule a shadow day and interview
