I made a mistake on the the yearly calendar. I forgot to add that we have no school on Labor Day. I have updated the calendar on our website. Labor Day weekend is a 4 day weekend, because we also have September 8th - No school!

For those that did not make it to registration, you need to reach out to the school by Wednesday, August 19th! If we do not hear from you, we will assume you will not be attending PGS and will be withdrawn.

Our parent options and frequently asked questions are now located on our website under documents/School Reopening 2020. If you have a question that you would like addressed, please email questions@potomac.k12.il.us We will update the FAQ regularly. Thank you for your patience as we move towards the start of school.
Baseball is back on!
Good evening! Baseball is back! Practice will begin Monday morning from 9-11. We will have practice on weekdays from 9-11 and games can begin on the 15th. We will welcome any incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to play. Please share with other that you may know are interested.
As a result of COVID-19, we will have to practice social distancing and have masks with us for when we are closer together. We will not be using the dugout as of now either. Please make sure your players come prepared. If guidelines regarding social distancing and masks cannot be held we may have to cancel practice/send players home. We don’t foresee this being an issue.
Parents, if you do not feel comfortable having your child play this season, we completely understand. Please let Mr. Nowaczyk know as soon as possible if that is the case.
We know everyone is eagerly awaiting the plan for the start of school. As you have seen in the news, districts are revising plans daily. At this time, we are planning on opening on time on August 24. For the health and safety of all students, Potomac Grade School is providing parents/guardians with a choice regarding their children’s education 1. In-person instruction and 2: Remote Learning. Daily attendance and engagement of students is expected whether students are participating in-person or remotely. It is our intention to provide, as close as possible, the same instruction in both methods. We know you have a lot of questions. Starting next Monday we will have a frequently asked questions page on our website with more detailed information. We are asking for your patience and understanding as we work to make each option the safest and educationally beneficial as possible. Watch for the "Frequently Asked Questions" on our website.
Registration will look different this year. Letters correspond to the first letter of the student’s last name. Please pay attention to the times listed. If you have any questions, email Ms. Freeman at freemanc@potomac.k12.il.us .
