A Message from your Principal
Dear Poe Middle School Families,
Thank you for your support in helping us reinforce the importance of keeping cell phones away during the school day. As a reminder, starting Tuesday, September 3rd, we will be implementing our cell phone pouch system.
Please remind your child to bring their pouch to school each day. To ensure they remember it, we suggest keeping the pouch in their backpack even when they're at home. This will help them have it ready each morning and avoid any disruptions to their learning. We hope you have a wonderful weekend and we will see your students on Tuesday, September 3rd.
We appreciate your cooperation in making this transition smooth for our students.
Best regards,
Jason Pannutti
Principal, Poe Middle School

AVID Tutors Needed
Do you happen to know someone that might be looking for a flexible and part-time position at Poe MS? FCPS is hiring AVID tutors for the 2024-2025 school year. AVID tutors work with small groups of approximately 5-7 students during the school day in their AVID (Advancement via Individual Determination) academic elective class. In these small groups, AVID tutors will use questioning strategies to help students develop a variety of college preparatory skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. Tutors earn $20.13 per hour and should either be a college graduate or currently enrolled in college. If you know of anyone interested, please share this information with them and ask that they email their resume to AVID@fcps.edu.
Please reach out to Megan Uccellini (mkuccellini@fcps.edu) with any questions.
