2021-2022 Application Process:
The application is a three step process, which includes:
Step 1: Complete Online Application - The online application must have 2020-2021 current grades and a completed discipline form from current school. WIHI/WIMA does not request discipline records for students. This is up to the family to obtain prior to applying. The discipline form can be found on the application.
Step 2: Student Support Documents- to help eliminate the need/requirement for dropping off student support documents in person, these documents must be attached to the application. 2021-2022 forms are linked on the application.
Families will be prompted to attach these documents as they complete the application with a jpeg or pdf file only. Families who do not have all their documents ready when they are completing their application, can save their progress and come back and finish it later.
Step 3: Student placement testing - While testing is important and students should try their best, placement testing does not determine acceptance. Placement testing helps us determine where to place students and if any summer and/or school support is required prior to transitioning.
The placement testing dates for incoming WIHI students are: March 1st, 8th or 15th from 5pm-8pm.
Families will be able to register for one placement testing day once their application is submitted. There will be a pop-up window with a link and it will also be linked on the submission confirmation email families will receive immediately after their application is submitted. All students, except current WIMA students, are required to complete placement testing.
Incoming WIHI students will be tested on Math, Writing and a Second Language of Spanish or French. If a student is not currently taking Spanish or French, this assessment does not need to be completed.
Since our school is still virtual, we will be moving all placement testing to a virtual format as well.
All students are given 3hrs to complete their testing. This is to help accommodate any student who may need extended time when testing.
Students who may need additional accommodations, must include a copy of their IEP or 504 plan on the application. We will contact those families a week before their testing date to confirm accommodations.
Once all three steps have been completed, students will have a complete application and will then be entered into our lottery system.
Current WIMA students and siblings are given priority placement when applying to WIHI.
Lottery results will be emailed to families by 6pm on Friday, April 9th and families will have 48hrs to accept or decline their spot. If a family does not respond via email within 48hrs or declines their seat, that student will be dropped and we will move on to the next student on the waitlist. This will continue until all spots have been filled, up to the first week of October of 2021.
Families will receive email updates throughout the process, after the lottery takes place, to help keep families informed and help answer questions.
