Future Warriors (8th Grade)
Future 9th Grade Warriors:
The Westmont Counseling Department visits all "feeder" Middle Schools in the first 2 weeks of February for a day of Programming. During the Programming day, 8th grade students submit their 9th grade course requests and complete a 4-year High School Academic Plan.
Middle Schools that "feed" directly into Westmont High School include: Rolling Hills Middle School, Monroe Middle School, Moreland Middle School, Latimer Middle School, Easterbrook Middle School, Ida Price Middle School, Discovery Charter Middle School, and Campbell School of Innovation (CSI) Middle School.
Check the CUHSD School Locator Map if you are unsure about what High School your student should attend.
If your student misses the Programming Day presentation at their middle school, please reach out directly to the middle school to request your student's login information to their CUHSD Gmail account and CUHSD Aeries portal account. The Programming Presentation is viewable below.

Creating an Academic Plan
During Programming, the Counseling Department provides future Warrior students with an in-class presentation to help create a 4-year Academic Plan for their high school years.
Important deadline: The Academic Plan must be completed by February 13th. Families will receive letters by US Postal Service with their student's course requests for the 9th grade. Please note, these are simply course requests and do not reflect your student's final schedule. In August, Counselors will host a Parent/Guardian Presentation and Final schedules will be available for pick up during 9th Grade Orientation.
Math Advancement:
Due to the high volume of currently enrolled Westmont students, and in order to answer math advancement questions, the Counselors have prepared a response to all parents and students that inquire about math advancement at Westmont.
Non-CUHSD programs are not promoted. If the decision is to enroll your student in a math program for IM2 you will need to make sure the program is WASC accredited and A-G eligible. The links for these two programs are below to ensure that the math course you choose satisfies both A-G, WASC, and aligns with the CUHSD Math Department Curriculum.
Any student who takes an IM2 course prior to attending Westmont High School will need to sign-up to take the IM2 challenge test during the first or second week of the 9th grade. The IM2 challenge test is available to all students regardless of completing an IM2 course.
Students who pass the 2-part IM2 challenge test with specific requirements will be able to choose whether they would like to advance into IM3 or IM3 STEM, and the IM2 challenge test grade will be placed on the student's Westmont transcript. More information will be sent to students and parents via ParentSquare who are enrolled at Westmont at the beginning of the student's 9th grade school year once school starts.
