First Day Reminders

  • We are excited to welcome all our Wolverines to campus tomorrow for their first day of school. Tomorrow is a Silver Day (1, 3, 5, 7), and students should report to 1st Period upon arriving to school.
  • Students schedules are available on StudentVue and ParentVue. Students should follow the schedule listed on their StudentVue App.
  • Please visit this link to review our morning arrival and dismissal traffic procedures.  For returning families this is the same traffic pattern that we had last school year.  Thank you in advance for following these directions.
  • Laptops will be distributed via English classes during the first two days of school.
  • Bus transportation is sent out directly to families from our transportation team and is visible in StudentVue/ParentVue. A reminder that at dismissal buses are not lined up in the same order each day.  To ensure students can find their bus, there are bus boards outside Door 1 (main entrance) and in the Gym Lobby (inside door 27).  Students should be sure they know their bus number and then check either of these boards to find their bus location. 
  • If you haven’t already reviewed it, please visit the Back to School page on our website for important information!

Student Services

  • During the first week of school we are not making schedule changes unless your child is missing a class, has too many classes, is placed in the wrong course, or missing a graduation requirement.  Students who may have an issue as described should always check in with the teacher listed on their schedule for attendance purposes and then report to Student Services with a pass during the period when there is an error.
  • August 26-29 is our elective change window and we will share more information about that at the end of the week.

Please join the WPHS PTSA today!

Wolverine Athletic Booster Club (WABC)

Dear Wolverine Fans,

It is the very best time of the year! The 2024-2025 athletic season is about to begin and the WABC is launching our annual Membership Drive by selling Game Passes. This year we are offering three different levels of Membership. Students, families, and fans can show their support by purchasing; a Family Pass ($185 for up to five family members including WP students), a Student Pass ($30), or an Individual Family Member Pass ($75).  All purchases are made via Paypal at https://www.supportwestpotomac.com/membership.html

Pass holders will receive free admission to all regular season home games. District, regional, and state tournaments will charge an entry fee. This pass provides HUGE savings over the course of the school year and is one of the best ways to show your Wolverine pride! Each pass holder will receive a personalized card and should remember to bring it to all events for admission. Cards will be available for pick up at the Wolverine Welcome on August 16th and also at all of the first home game for each team. Passes may be mailed to home addresses by request.

The price for the Family Pass increases to $210 and Individual Adult Pass increases to $100 after 8/23 so order yours today!

Let's Go Wolverines!
