A Message from Ms. Cimino
Thank you so much to all who helped to support our Giving Tree this December. Through your generosity we were able to provide gifts for over one hundred children for the holidays. This Potter tradition helps to brighten the season for so many!
As the possibility of inclement weather approaches it is important to make sure that your contact information in the Parent Portal is updated. All School Closings will be sent out via automated phone call (and text message if selected) using the number(s) provided in the Parent Portal. Additionally, all closings and/or delays will be posted on our district website at www.btboe.org and our Facebook page.
We wish all of our Potter families a safe and healthy 2017, we are looking forward to a wonderful year!
