Thanks for a great start to the 2nd Quarter including over 120 parents coming to our Fall Touch Base Parent-Teacher conferences last week sponsored by our Potomac PTSO! As we celebrate Veteran’s Day on Monday, November 11th (NO SCHOOL) this week, I also want to take time to thank our many Potomac families with active duty or retired military family members. On behalf of our Potomac community, THANK YOU to all the courageous men and women who have served our country: we honor you, we respect you, and we support you! Please find Potomac Senior High School updates below:

+ Q1 REPORT CARDS: First quarter report cards will be mailed on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. As always, grades are available in real time in ParentVUE.

+ 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 here at Potomac. 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.
