The admissions process begins with your inquiry and school visit. During these visits, you will have the opportunity to meet our principal, some of our faculty, staff, and students, ask questions, and tour the campus.

"Mustang For A Day" Shadowing

We invite prospective students (generally grades 4-8) to shadow current students for a day 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.

 

• 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.
