PTO Volunteers Needed for Fundraiser

Potomack is building an adaptive playground for our special needs friends and we need all Eagles' help to do it! Marianna's Fundraiser starts tomorrow with orders & money due 03/14/25. Delivery will be 04/01/25 from 4pm-6pm in our cafeteria. Secure volunteers are needed for delivery, please follow this link to sign up: https://signup.com/go/GqjnXUG

25-26 Teacher Requests - Window Closed

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!

Remote Learning Update and Schedule

As of today, we've used four of our five potential remote learning days. Students did very well on remote learning so please keep up that enthusiasm should we have bad weather again. Please refer to the schedule below for remote learning days should the need arise.

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! 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.

Update: 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!
