+ 1ST QUARTER HONOR ROLL: Visit our official Potomac HS YouTube page HERE to view a list of our students who earned 1st Quarter Honor Roll (3.0+) and Principal’s Honor Roll (4.0+) status. We are so proud of the commitment to RESULTS shown by these students! Please be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up-to-date on information and events at Potomac. The channel will include even more school news, school events, and student-created/parent-created content soon.

+ ELL FAMILY NIGHT: Early next month, PSHS will be hosting its 1st Principal’s Family Night for English Language Learner (ELL) families! Our ELL families will have the opportunity to receive information about school policies & expectations, ask questions, voice any concerns, and ultimately discuss ways Potomac can more closely partner with ELL families to promote student success. Our first meeting will take place on December 5th, @ 6:00 pm in the Potomac HS Library. Families that are unable to attend in person can join virtually and will be emailed a Zoom link. See the attached flyer for the QR code to register. We look forward to welcoming our ELL families for Principal’s ELL Family Night on December 5th!

Please contact our Parent Liaison, Mrs. Eva Castro, at CastroE1@pwcs.edu with questions.

+ NEW CAMBRIDGE COORDINATOR: Parents and families are welcome to come to Potomac and meet our new Cambridge Program coordinator, Mr. Nathan Hoback, on Thursday, December 5th between 8am and 12pm in the Principal's Conference Room. Join us to meet Mr. Hoback and ask questions about our Cambridge Program. We'd love to see you!

+ POTOMAC ANGEL TREE: Every year, our Potomac Student Activities Leadership Class (SALC) students coordinate our participation in the Angel Tree program to help provide Christmas gifts for Panthers in need in our community and we’re proud to participate again this year! For anyone interested in contributing, our SALC classes are encouraging the purchase of $25 gift cards to major stores like Walmart, Target, and Amazon and submitting them to our SALC teachers, Mr. Cooper (Room 2509) or Ms. Catlett (Room 7002), by December 16th. Thanks again to our Potomac SALC students and teachers for making the holidays brighter for families in our community!
