Potomack Intermediate is considering parent requests for classroom teachers for the 2025-2026 school year. Please keep in mind not all parent requests are able to be met for several reasons. Those reasons are:

- The number of requests for each specific teacher

- Required special education services

- The date and time the request was made

- State mandated class sizes

If you would like to request a classroom teacher for your student, please click the link below. The window for submissions is open and they must be in before Friday, February 7 so scheduling can begin.

Thank you!

Students took this flyer home on Friday, December 20. We're so excited to see a calendar with a year full of River looks like. Please see the flyer below!

Puppies sure do have a lot of energy and River is no exception! She's off to a great start and the students have fallen in love with her. We're looking forward to the next decade with a great girl!

A special thank you to Dr. Darin Gilpin and the team at Shenandoah Veterinary Hospital for their support of River. Please see them for your veterinary needs.

If your student has lost a wallet this week and can identify the type, please see Dr. Arch. Thank you!

Jody has been playing for the JR Cardinals for 4 years. He won the Character award this past season for being a great teammate on and off the field. During a game Jody gave up his play to run the ball and asked the coach to let another player have a shot at running it. Jody’s act of kindness led that teammate to score his first touchdown for the season! Jody is a team player and a great friend. He’s had some excellent runs, scored the extra point during a game and made a lot of good tackles. Jody also won a “Beast Mode” sticker this season that he worked super for. That was his biggest accomplishment.

Keep up the great work Jody! We are so proud of you! 🦅

Koryne completed a 5k on November 17th with Potomack’s Girls on the Run and she finished 1st of the group at 35 min!!! Koryne loves to stay active, as she trains on Saturday mornings for boxing!!

Keep up the hard work, Koryne 🦅

Luke's soccer team won the URSL U12 division! Luke also received straight A's and was at school everyday earning perfect attendance for the 1st quarter!

Great job, Luke! 🦅

Potomack Eagles, we want to recognize you! We love to recognize academic achievements at school, but we know our students are accomplishing amazing things outside of school too!

PTO MEETING CANCELLED 12/11/24. Due to the Holiday Shop being such a great success for our Eagles, resetting for the next day will interfere with our meeting. Secure Volunteers are still needed: https://signup.com/go/VdFvMfJ

PTO is not a 4 letter word! Your PTO met for the first time & made this year’s focus “fulfilling student and teacher needs.” We invite our entire Potomack Intermediate community to join us for meetings in the cafeteria on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 4pm. Please follow Potomack Intermediate PTO’s Facebook page & watch Dojo messages for ways you can help this year. It isn't necessary to be an “official” PTO member to help us succeed in fulfilling student and teacher needs. Eagles SOAR!
