[quote=Anonymous]Hello this is a school we are looking into for this coming admission season. If any Potomac parents could help me with a few questions.

1. How do they treat students with nut allergy. One of our kids has this allergy and we want to see which schools are more supportive ie do they serve nuts in lunch? If they do can you just bring your lunch and not have to sit at a separate table? Is there a nurse in each level of school (ie in the elementary area, middle school area, high school)? Are kids allowed to have their epi in the classroom and if not that can it be in the classroom with a teacher?

2. Wondering how strong their baseball program is? I don't really hear about it frankly I just hear about St. Albans..which is another school we are looking at.

3. How diverse is the school in thought ie is it balanced--I am seeing too many schools that are all liberal or all conservative..frankly the best thing would be a school that keeps politics out of it. I don't even know if this is possible but thought I would ask.

4. If you take the bus (lower school)--what time do you get home? Do you get home earlier if you go to one of the centralized stops? Also how is riding on the bus for the little ones--are they grouped with high school kids? How is the seating if you child doesn't know anyone. I was a walker to our school growing up so bus is very foreign and something I recall wanting to experience.

5. How stable is turnover at the school? Are there a lot of longterm teachers?

Any other thoughts..very much appreciated. Thank you very much.[/quote]
