Principal's Corner

Administration Welcome Welcome to Potomac Landing Elementary School.We believe that every child has an inherent right to an education that will enhance the development of maximum capability, regardless of sex, ethnic, economic, social or religious background. We pledge to meet this challenge by providing a comprehensive educational program in an atmosphere that is open, concerned, and responsible to the needs of students. We believe that every individual has certain basic human needs, beyond educational needs, which must be addressed by the school. We believe that the educational process must provide an environment in which all students are afforded the opportunity to obtain competencies, which will help them survive as individuals and as productive members of society. Richard E. Mosby P.L.E.S. Principal We Are Motivated By Excellence!

School Philosophy The philosophy of Potomac Landing Elementary School is based on the premise that all students can learn, master and apply basic skills. To that end, Potomac Landing exists to help lay a sound educational foundation for every elementary student. This requires not only the imparting of knowledge but the development of a sense of personal responsibility and determination. The instructional program at Potomac Landing School emphasizes attention to individual learning styles, creative teaching strategies and active learning techniques. Furthermore, we believe communication and the ability to reason are necessary tools for success in today's world. It is our intent to provide our students with these skills.
