A Message from the Principal



band

We have had another great week at the View! Ms. Lehner and I have gotten into a upper grade level classrooms to talk about Students Rights and Responsibilities (SRR) and will finish up the lower grade level presentations this coming week.  Please ask your child what a responsibility is verses what is a right is.

Our 4-6 grade students had a fantastic time seeing the West Potomac High School marching band and Orchestra last Thursday.  We have a ton of Bobcat alumni representing in the WPHS music department!  

We hope you all had an amazing Labor Day weekend!
