Family and Friends Weekend

October 24-26


Join us for Family & Friends Weekend! Explore campus, get to know our community, and experience your student’s life at Westover. Whether you will be visiting campus or joining via our virtual meeting options, we look forward to seeing you. 


Families can view student schedules by visiting the HUB so that they may make appointments to meet with their student’s teachers, advisors, and others. These conferences will be set up using a platform called Pick-A-Time. Please see below for detailed instructions for this process.

Families who are not able to come to campus are invited to schedule a virtual conference on Saturday between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. ET. Mandarin translation services will be available. Please see below to schedule.

Be sure to check the Family Weekend Schedule as you plan your conferences. We hope to see you on campus!

Instructions for Scheduling Conferences through Pick-A-Time

To schedule conferences with classroom teachers please click here (Conferences are 10 minutes in length and can be virtual or in-person).

Family members in need of a Mandarin translator should sign up for conferences on Saturday between 9:00AM and 11:00AM. Translation services will require more time, thus, those families are encouraged to request back-to-back conferences with the same teacher.
