 Textbook and material hand-outs are a little different this year
Staff at Potomac High School provided resources students need for virtual learning via a contactless curbside pickup. The materials included textbooks, instruments for music classes, as well as cookbooks and ingredients for those students enrolled in the school's culinary program.
Across PWCS, our educators are going above and beyond to make sure our students have what they need to be successful in their virtual learning.
