Principal Message
Dear West Potomac School Community,
I hope this message finds you all well and rested after a fantastic first week of school. It has been an absolute pleasure to see our students and staff back in the building, filled with excitement and enthusiasm.
The energy and positivity on campus have been truly inspiring. Our faculty and staff have been working tirelessly to create a welcoming and supportive learning environment for our students. Their dedication and commitment to our school community is truly commendable. I was able to drop into many classes already this week. Below are just a few examples of the amazing instruction happening this week.
 As your principal, I am immensely proud of the way our students and staff have come together to make this a memorable start to the school year. I am confident that this positive momentum will continue throughout the year as we work together to achieve great things.
Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to another wonderful week ahead!
Sincerely,
Jessica Statz, Principal
Parking and Driving
Below are a few important reminders about driving and parking at West Potomac:
At West Potomac High School the safety of our students, staff, and guests is our number one priority! Please read below for reminders about safe driving practices on our campus:
- Juniors and Seniors who drive to school and park with a valid student parking pass must use safe driving practices to include following the speed limit, following all traffic signs, and following staff directions for traffic flow during arrival and dismissal.
- Juniors and Seniors who park on campus with a valid student parking pass must park in their assigned parking spot. Students who do not have a valid parking pass are not permitted to park in assigned student spaces, staff spaces, spaces marked Reserved, or in the Kiss and Ride loop. West Potomac HS staff will begin issuing parking tickets on September 4, 2024.
- At no time, should students park illegally in areas that are not designated for parking.
- Parents who are dropping off and picking up their students should do so in the designated Kiss and Ride area. Please do not drop off or pick up students in the senior parking lot.
- U-turns at the entrances to the West Potomac HS campus entrances from Quander Road are prohibited.
- Access to driveways and thruways onto private property between the entrances to the West Potomac HS campus from Quander Road is prohibited. Again, please pick up and drop off your student in the designated Kiss and Ride area.
If you have specific questions regarding your child’s arrival and departure from campus, please contact their administrator. We appreciate your cooperation and partnership in keeping West Potomac HS a safe campus for everyone!
