Greeting WP Community !

We had another amazing West Potomac graduation yesterday!  The Class of 2019 represented themselves and their families with excitement and grace.  Special thanks to all who worked many hours to make the event special and all who attended to celebrate our graduates. 

Next week, we will be hosting our rising 9 Wolverines and we will be finalizing the year with our underclassmen.  The week will fly by, but check in with your students to make sure that they have turned in all their final projects and are studying for any final exams.  If you have any questions, please reach out to their teachers for support. 

Lastly, after a year of hard work by WP faculty and staff on behalf of our students, we are fully accredited in English, Math and Science!  Thank you parents for your support of your children doing their best every day, in and out of the classroom.  Go West Po!!!

Ms. Millard

Summer test prep classes and mocks are open for enrollment. Register here. Summer mocks and classes start July 27 and target prep for the August/September official tests. 

If your student will be entering grade 11 and has completed Algebra 2, consider getting test prep done before the 2019-20 school year gets into full swing! Spring of junior year is crazy enough. Prep and test early if you have the math needed (Algebra 2).
