Principal’s Message
Happy Friday Wolverine Community,
I want to send my congratulations to our Scholastic Art Award winners this year. West Potomac’s Fine Arts Department had 74 student winners. We are proud of all our arts teachers and their students!
Way to go, Wolverines!
- Gold Key Exhibition open February 13 to March 13 at the NOVA Ernest Cultural Center.
- Gold Key Award Ceremony in the evening of March 5 at NOVA. Doors open at 6:30.
On Tuesday night, we hosted our Electives Fair and Rising 9th grade Night. Thank you to all the teachers and students that volunteered to stay late and present. And thank you to all the families that were able to make it to see all the great things West Potomac has to offer.
We had an awesome Electives Fair over two days for students to learn about our elective courses and meet teachers and students currently teaching or in an elective course.
Our own Wolverine Girls Basketball team was featured in the Washington Post. We are proud of our players and coaches. Please see the link to the article below
January 28th is the end of the quarter, but it is NOT a 2 hour early release. The January 29th is a teacher workday and a student day off.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
-Jessica Statz, Principal
