Happy Friday Wolverine Community,
What a fantastic week it has been! Our students and staff have been hard at work both in and out of the classroom, demonstrating their dedication to academic excellence and school spirit.
From exciting athletic events to engaging extracurricular activities, there's always something happening at West Potomac. We're grateful for the continued support and involvement of our community in making these experiences possible.
On Tuesday, we were thrilled to see so many parents at our first PTSA General Meeting. Your participation is invaluable in helping us create a strong and supportive school environment. We encourage all parents to get involved and share their thoughts and ideas.
This past week, we noticed an uptake in food deliveries and students leaving school grounds without permission to get fast food. Moving forward, when we catch this happening, we will be confiscating and throwing the food away. For safety purposes, we cannot have doors propped open for delivery drivers or random people on campus not coming to door 1. In an emergency, if you need to bring food to your student, it must be dropped off in the main office using door 1.
Thank you again for your continued support and enthusiasm. Together, we're making West Potomac an even better place to learn and grow.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Student Services / College & Career Center
Wolverines! Fall is college admissions season. There are several upcoming events for students and families to learn about different colleges & the opportunities they offer.
College Representative Visits to WPHS:
-
During the fall of every year, college admissions representatives come to the WPHS College & Career Center during the school day to present information about their schools. Visits have started and will continue daily through the beginning of November. Seniors & juniors are eligible to attend. It is an excellent opportunity for students to hear information about a specific college, including the admissions process directly from college representatives. Students must log into Naviance to see a list of colleges that have scheduled visits as well as to register to attend a visit.
College Fair and Look to the Future Events:
-
The 2024 College Fair will be held at George Mason University’s Eagle Bank Arena on Sunday, October 20, from 4-6:30pm. The Postsecondary Virtual Event will be held on Monday, October 21, and Tuesday, October 22, from 5-8 p.m. The virtual event will feature workshops related to the college admissions process, financial aid, and other postsecondary educational opportunities. For more information, visit: https://bit.ly/fcpspostsecondary . Fairfax County Public Schools high school students and their families are encouraged to register for these events if you plan to attend. These events are designed to help students be better prepared for the next chapter of their educational journey.
ASBC 22nd Annual HBCU College Festival:
-
The ASBC 22nd Annual Historically Black College & University (HBCU) Festival is being held November 8-9, 2024. This event is open to all high school students and will be held at The St. James Sports Complex in Springfield, VA. The festival is dedicated to connecting high school students and their families to HBCUs and offers onsite admissions decisions, scholarship opportunities, and seminars. Students and their families are encouraged to register at https://tinyurl.com/ASBC-22ndHBCU-Festival
AVID Tutors
- Attention families - looking for a flexible and part-time position? 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 an academic elective class called Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID). These groups 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 interested, please email your resume to AVID@fcps.edu.
West Potomac Performing Arts Department Tag Day!
September 14, 8:00am - 4:00pm
Tag Day is the biggest single-day fundraiser for the West Potomac Performing Arts Department. Students in the Performing Arts will be canvassing the West Potomac community in groups of four with a parent driver and ask for donations to support programs from Band to Orchestra to Chorus. On September 14, keep an eye out for our students playing their instruments or singing in your neighborhood in hopes you'll make a generous donation to support our talented kids. You can donate on Tag Day, or you can donate today via this link: https://wolverineband.com/donate/
And thank you from the West Potomac Band Boosters!
Restaurant Night at Five Guys on Tuesday, September 17, 4-8 pm. Support the orchestra program by grabbing a burger, dog, milkshake, or other freshly made entree at the Quander Road (6210 Quander Road) or Hybla Valley (7622 Richmond Highway) location.
