Although we have a few school days this week, I wanted to thank you for your support and partnership this school year. Your children worked hard, showed academic, social and emotional growth, and contributed to a positive year at Potomack Intermediate. We appreciate the trust you place in us every day. Your children are your most prized possession and we don't take that responsibility lightly.

Please enjoy the summer break with your families that you all deserve. To our departing 5th graders, thank you for your efforts the past three years. We wish you the absolute best of luck at Spring Mills Middle! To everyone else, we look forward to seeing you in August for another exciting year!

In partnership,

Dr. Arch

General Information

1. Please apply sunscreen at home before school as it cannot be applied at school by students.

2. Please send refillable water bottles with your students.

3. Field day will happen rain or shine, unless it is a heavy storm as we don't have any rain day for make up this year.

4. There are water games available, so your child does have the choice to get wet. They can bring a change of clothes, but need to wear appropriate school clothing, no bathing suits.

Please see the updated Field Day schedule:

Third Grade field day remains the same on Wednesday, May 27

Fourth Grade will be the morning of Tuesday, May 26th

Fifth Grade will be the afternoon of Tuesday May 26th

If you were an approved fourth grade volunteer, please come in for the morning on May 26th. If you were an approved fifth grade volunteer, please come in the afternoon on May 26th. If you're unable to volunteer due to the shift, please reach out to Mr. McDonald at amcdonald@k12.wv.us.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and flexibility, Mr. McDonald and Mrs. Reese

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!
