Welcome Back Potter families! We are excited to welcome scholars back to a new school year in a freshly renovated building. Our main office has changed to the North west side of the building. This is where guests, parents and those scholars who get dropped off at school will enter and exit the building. We will now have the busses in the South end parking lot. There will be no parking past the basketball court to allow for buses to make a loop. We will have staff out helping to direct cars and families with this new transition. We look forward to welcoming you back and to a productive year with your scholars! If you have any questions, please call the Potter office 810-760-1813. Mrs. Shafer Potter Principal
