25-26 Teacher Requests
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!
Remote Learning Schedule
Berkeley County Schools has used all five of our traditional snow days for this school year. As a result, students practiced how to log onto their class' Teams meeting should schools be closed for inclement weather again. Please refer to the schedule below for remote learning days should the need arise.
River's Calendar Winners
River's calendar is in the works! We're going with all students instead of being a mixture of staff and students. As a result, we were able to include more students, but due to the weather, the calendar won't be ready until February.
January - River only
February - River only
March - River only
April - Jasper Spangler
May - Grayson Underwood
June - Kenzie Wolfe
July - Jake Emmel
August - Aubrey Bowers
September - Khady Diallo
October - Lena Mills
November - Alanis Crespo
December - Scarlet Barney
Congratulations to the winners! Calendars will be sent home with those who pre-ordered and any additional ones will be available for purchase at that time. Thank you for supporting River!
Student Spotlight - Teagan
Teagan completed her second 5k with Girls on the Run, shaving several minutes off her previous time! She had a fantastic season preparing, and she maintained straight A's throughout. We are so proud of Teagan for all of her hard work!
Student Spotlight - Jazele
Jazele competed with Epic All Stars Superheroes at the Hershey Christmas Classic. Her team won first place twice and best pyramid!
Way to go, Jazele!
Student Spotlight!
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!
