Principal’s Message
Dear West Potomac Community,
This will be a short Friday message. Reminder, starting on January 13, we will add a second late bus day. Monday and Thursday will be our 2 late bus days.
I say this a lot, but I am honored to be the principal of the Wolverines. I love this community. I hope everyone takes this winter break to relax and recharge. I plan to disconnect from computers and phones while we are out.
Have a safe and relaxing break.
Jessica Statz, Principal
