Administration

Welcome To Potowmack Elementary School

There are more than 60 types of Eagles across our planet, each with unique features and characteristics that make it special. Just as these Eagles are celebrated for their differences, they are also recognized for the similarities that unite them as Eagles. At PMK, we are, "A Community of Eagles from Many Nations," who value and celebrate our differences as well as the similarities that unite us. We believe in Inspiring our Eagles to discover their dreams, Empowering our Eagles through education to achieve their dreams, and in the transformational power of education to change the world, one Eagle at a time.

Greetings Potowmack Community, 

It is with great excitement that I introduce myself as the newest Principal at Potowmack Elementary. 

Before joining Potowmack, I served as the Assistant Principal at both Sugarland Elementary and Goshen Post Elementary within LCPS. My experiences also include serving as the administrative dean at Seldens Landing Elementary and teaching both second and fifth grade during my years at Catoctin Elementary. I hold a bachelor's degree in Child Development from Virginia Tech, a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Virginia Tech and a master's degree in Education Leadership from George Mason University. I live in Sterling with my husband and two beautiful children. 

I am deeply committed to fostering positive and collaborative relationships as we work together to ensure that our eagles achieve their individual goals. I am passionate about providing opportunities that foster creativity, celebrate uniqueness, promote critical thinking and instill lifelong learning. Our future is in our school and I am excited to see all the great things we can accomplish. 

I am so proud to be a part of your wonderful community and look forward to an amazing school year! Go Eagles! 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. 

Warmly,

Cassie Colasuonno

I am very excited to begin another year with this great community. I am a graduate of Virginia Tech with Masters degrees in Elementary Education and Administrative Leadership.  

I have experience as a second and third grade teacher. I have served as Assistant Principal at Potowmack Elementary for over 10 years! I feel fortunate to be an administrator in the community where I began my teaching career!

I live in Fairfax County with my husband, daughter, and sons. I feel very lucky living only two miles away from my family and the house I grew up in! In my spare time, I love hanging out with my family and friends, running, and chasing around after my children!

I feel that this year will be the best ever at Potowmack and I look forward to meeting you and working with your child!
