A Relay for Life Message from Miss Glover

We have one week remaining in the Race for a Cure! No grade level is even close to the finish line. Fifth grade is still in the lead, but fourth and third may easily pass them. Sooo…. buy those feet in the cafeteria each morning for $1 each. The winning grade level will tape Dr. Arch to the wall!

Photo shared unwillingly, but for the good of the cause!

Interested in Subbing at Potomack? Interested in Subbing at Potomack?

Potomack Intermediate has a fantastic stable of reliable, professional substitutes, but being the largest intermediate school in West Virginia means we are always looking to develop additional subs. The best place to do that is the school where your child attends! If you're interested in subbing at Potomack as either a teacher or member of our service staff, please reach out to Dr. Arch at carch@k12.wv.us.


Thank you!
