*indicates a change from our regular schedule

Students not taking the PSAT/NMSQT can stay home to work virtually.  If your student cannot stay home that day, they may come to school to complete their virtual learning in supervised areas. Buses will run as normal and a "grab and go" lunch will be available to students who come to school for either testing or virtual learning.

If your student is testing (registered 9 ^th & 11 ^th graders and ALL 10 ^th graders), please keep reading! (10^th graders are automatically registered by the county, 9^th and 11^th registration has closed)

• Students taking the PSAT at West will be allowed to leave campus when all testing has concluded.
• Students with last names A-L should be picked up in the front of the building in the normal car rider lanes. 
• Students with last names M-Z should be picked up at the auditorium parking lot (bus lanes). 
• Students may then participate in Virtual Learning at home.  If your student does not have transportation home or they cannot stay home to work, they may stay at school for Lunch and Virtual Learning for the remainder of the day.  They will be assigned a central location to complete their work virtually.

*Parents/guardians who DO NOT permit their student to leave school at the conclusion of testing must complete the online  West Forsyth Permission to Leave Early Form by Monday, October 10, 2021. If this form is not submitted, student will be allowed to leave campus after completion of the test.
