ACTIVITY BUSES:
Potomac Activity Buses are back! Beginning on 9/5, each Tuesday and Thursday students will be provided with FREE Activity Bus transportation to support after school academic support and extracurricular participation. Students should verify teacher/sponsor availability beforehand. Students riding Activity Buses will be picked up from Potomac at 4:45pm and may be dropped off at more general stops throughout the community instead of their normal AM/PM bus stops.
IMMUNIZATIONS: The deadline for rising Seniors to meet the immunization requirement for mandatory immunizations for public school enrollment is August 17, 2023. If proof of the required immunizations is not provided by August 17, 2023, the student will be excluded from school starting August 21, 2023, until the required immunization documentation has been provided to the school. Attached HERE is the Vaccine Information Statement for the Meningitis ACWY vaccine. If you have questions, please contact our school nurse or visit the PWCS Immunization Requirements webpage.
STUDENTVUE:
This app is where students access bus and class schedules, grades, attendance information. StudentVue accounts are already created for students. Students (new to the school district) will receive login instructions during their first week of school.
There are two ways to access StudentVUE:
1. Go to Google Chrome and enter this link: studentvue.pwcs.edu
2. Download the StudentVUE app by searching "StudentVUE" in the Apple iTunes or Google Play stores.
The mobile app will ask for a district address. It is: https://va-pwcps-psv.edupoint.com/
Log in with your username@pwcs-edu.org (your county email address and your password) and click Login.
If you can log into other county applications, but cannot log into StudentVue, please verify that you are logging in with your whole email address. For example if your username is JamesAF22, you will log into StudentVue with JamesAF22@pwcs.edu.
If you have forgotten your county/network password, go to Password Self Serve to reset it. Please note that you can't reset just your StudentVUE password. You must reset your network password. The new password that you save will become the password that gets you into your school issued laptop, Office365, Canvas, and StudentVue.
If you are unable to reset your password from home, it may be because your password has expired. When you arrive to school (on the first day of school), you should be able to successfully reset it.
If you are trying to access your schedule, an option would be to have your parent or guardian log into their ParentVUE account.
Log into the ParentVue app, Select your student, and Select Class Schedule
If your parent/guardian has not activated their ParentVUE account, on the 1st day of each new school year, 1st-period teacher rosters will be posted on the walls to help you locate your classroom.
PARENTVUE: Throughout each school year, parents will be asked to log-in to ParentVUE to stay current on school information including class schedules, attendance, grades, and emergency card information.
If you need assistance with accessing or activating your ParentVUE account, please contact your child's grade level secretary. Please indicate your full name, your child’s full name, and your telephone number.
9th grade: TBA
10th grade: Ms. Katelynn Manetta - ManettKA@pwcs.edu 11th grade: Mrs. Vela - VelaCP@pwcs.edu12th grade: Mrs. Covington - CovingDJ@pwcs.edu
BUS UPDATE: Bus schedules will available in ParentVUE at the beginning of each school year. At that time, you will also be able to download the Here Comes the Bus mobile app that allows you to track your student’s buses in real-time.
LAPTOP DISTRIBUTION: Every Potomac student will have the opportunity to check-out a laptop at the beginning of the school year. It is expected that students have their laptop with them each day and students/families will be held responsible for inappropriate use and will be held responsible for any damage.
LAPTOP INSURANCE: When laptops are distributed (at the beginning of each school year), we highly encourage each family to take advantage of the optional insurance being offered through a partnership with Securranty and Prince William County Public Schools. Families will be responsible for any damage, including accidental damage, that occurs to student laptops this year and this insurance coverage can help provide peace of mind. Please visit the Securranty website by clicking HERE for more information about this insurance policy and to purchase the insurance directly.
