We are getting closer to finishing our new parent drop off/pick up route! Hand outs will go home with each student a week before the road is to be used. We'll have a better idea of exactly when that will be as we get closer to completion, but we anticipate a start date in November. Thank you!

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! If your student has a notable achievement in sports, arts or other areas throughout the year, please fill out the form below. If you are unable to access the link, please e-mail Mrs. Steshoski with a brief description of the achievement and a photo. We will be spotlighting these achievements on our social media page throughout the year.

Starting in the month of October, students at Potomack will begin body safety lessons presented by our school counselors. The West Virginia Department of Ed website shares its rationale for these lessons:

Abused and neglected children may be found in almost every school in the country. Recent research data indicates one in 10 children in West Virginia will be a victim of sexual abuse by age 18*. School-aged children make up more than half of the children who are abused and neglected. Educators serve as facilitators of the growth of children and are aware of the interrelationship among academic, emotional, and physical development of children. Therefore, educators must take a proactive role in providing and supporting child abuse and neglect prevention programs.

Please see the link below to update your student's annual emergency card. Thank you!

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!
