"Mustang For A Day" Shadowing

We invite prospective students (generally grades 4-8) to shadow current students during the fall and spring semesters. To schedule a shadow visit, contact Adrienne Janek at adrienne.janek@stmaryswest.com. The prospective student will be matched with a current student according to grade level, and will spend the morning attending classes with that student.

Important notes about shadowing:
- What should a shadow student wear? -- Nice casual clothing is recommended for a shadow day. Examples are khaki pants, knit polo-type shirts, casual dresses, nice slacks, and blouses.
Please --no short shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, low-cut tops, or flip flops.
- When is the arrival time? -- Please arrive by 7:45 AM and check in at the front receptionist desk.
- When is the pick-up time? -- Please pick-up at 11:30 AM in the front office.
- Who can I shadow? -- We will match the prospective student with a current student in the same grade level.
