Thank you for supporting our adapted playground project!

Testing season is almost here! First, we have the writing portion of the West Virginia General Summative Assessment beginning on May 6. Please make sure your students attend each day and for the full day, please. Thank you!

With the weather being so nice, please don't forget to ask your student to take a look at the lost and found if you believe they are missing an article of clothing. We have a good number of coats and jackets from the winter there.

Thank you!

On Monday, March 17, members of the faculty of Potomack met at the Board of Education Meeting to honor Mrs. Smith as Berkeley County School's recipient of the Distinguished Service Award for March.

Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!

Now with the Marianna's subs fundraiser orders received, the school raised almost $2,000 towards the new playground! Potomack also received a grant of $5,000 from the The Hambrick Foundation which will also go towards playground equipment for our exceptional learners. Selection of equipment and installation can be a slow process, but we're excited at how our project is coming together.

Thank you for your support!

Please be reminded the window for teacher requests for the 24-25 school year has come to a close. Due to the extensive work needed to schedule such a large school, scheduling begins as soon as the parent request window closes so work is already underway!

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.

Our next regular PTO meeting is this Wed (03/12/25) at 4pm in the cafeteria. Please join us as we discuss the quickly ending school year. You don't have to be a PTO member to attend and share your ideas.

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!
