Food and Nutrition Services – Transfers and Refunds
- We encourage families to log-in to MySchoolBucks and check their student's meal account balance. Please pay any outstanding balances if you have any. If you are interested in transferring funds between your students' accounts, or if you would like to request a transfer, please visit this site. Unfortunately, West Potomac HS is not able to process these requests locally. Once you are on the site, scroll down to the heading "Transfer and Refund Requests."
Required Immunizations for Rising 12th Graders
- Immunizations are required for all students entering the 12th grade this fall. Visit the FCPS immunization webpage to learn about the required vaccines. Caregivers should ask their private healthcare provider or the health department to review their student's immunization record to ensure that their student has received these required immunizations.
- It is important to schedule immunizations early in the summer. Twelfth grade students must submit documentation of the Meningococcal vaccine. Beginning Monday, WPHS will be emailing Rising 12th grader families who have not turned in this immunization documentation weekly.
- All immunization updates can be emailed to Leslie Dorsey (ladorsey@fcps.edu) or dropped off at the building during the summer office hours.
Get more information on all student immunization requirements.

The Accommodations Process for College Board Testing webpage provides instructions on how to request College Board testing accommodations, including the required input and consent forms (Enclosures 2-3). To request new or amended College Board accommodations for the October PSAT/NMSQT or SAT, return the input and consent forms to Ms. Candace Brown (crbrown@fcps.edu) by August 5, 2024. Please note that the Ms. Brown, WPHS point of contact for requesting accommodations, is NOT on contract during the summer months so please be patient if you do not receive an immediate response.
