Potomac School is considering a 4 day school week for SY 2012-2013. In an effort to make the most informed decision possible, we are asking all residents, current and future parents of students to complete the 4 Day School Week Interest Survey. This survey will be compiled for a review by the Board at its February 13th meeting. (Feb 14, 2012: Because of the survey was tampered with, the link to the survey has been removed, we have 28)

After School Program Is HERE!!

posted Sep 14, 2011 11:11 AM by Tim Johnson

The Boys & Girls Club is now running an after school program from dismissal (3:33) until 6pm. Parents are encouraged to pick up an application in the office. The cost is $5/day per student. Limited scholarships are available. The program runs from Monday-Thursday. We are asking parents to commit to prepaying for two weeks. Any combination of days is acceptable with prepayment (ie 2 days one week, 4 days another week, etc.). NO BUSING services are provided.

The after school program consists of three main parts: Power Hour (Academic Support), movement activities, and projects. The Power Hour is a time for students to get some additional homework support and tutoring (when available). It is expected that students bring either homework and/or a book to read for the Power Hour. At 3:33, students in the BGC will begin the afternoon with physical games/movement. Please have proper footwear and indoor/outdoor clothing provided as needed. Projects are arranged by the director. If you have ideas or materials, please contact Zach, our site director. A light snack is provided.
