Report cards for the first nine weeks are coming home Monday. This is an exciting milestone for third graders, as it’s the first time they’ll receive letter grades. These grades give a snapshot of how students are growing and learning this quarter so please take a few moments to look over the report card together and celebrate your child’s progress.

As of Friday afternoon, Schoology is currently experiencing an outage at their level. As a result, please expect a delay in responses from your student's teacher while the site is down.

Thank you!

Potomack Intermediate will honor Veterans Day with a variety of activities and opportunities for students and staff to show appreciation for those who have served. The school will host events and displays recognizing veterans from our community, along with classroom lessons and projects focused on the meaning of service and sacrifice. These activities aim to help students understand the importance of Veterans Day and express gratitude in meaningful ways. Please see the link below to register for the activities below!

You may have received some nTouch messages from BCS regarding the Comprehensive Education Facilities Plan which is developed every 10 years. Due to the rapid growth of BCS, the CEFP is being developed at the five-year mark with the plan guiding the construction and remodel of BCS facilities through the use of bond funds. To get input from the community, a link to a survey has been included below which will help facilitate parent participation in the development of the CEFP. Please let your thoughts be heard!

Now with all of the fundraiser envelopes in, the student prizes have been ordered. There wasn't an ETA for their arrival but I hope it's soon as I know students are anxious to get the rewards they worked diligently for. Most of the prizes should fit in student bookbags or on their lap on the bus, but a few packages may need to be picked up. We'll know for sure when they arrive, of course.

Mason Hite and Macie Cummings tied for the lead with 13 boxes sold so we made sure they both got the grand prize for their tremendous efforts! Congratulations!

Mr. McDonald and Ms. Reese are doing their annual shoe drive. If you have any lightly-used men's, women's or intermediate-aged children's shoes, you're encouraged to donate them to students in need. Last year, the PE department helped over 100 students at Potomack who were in need of shoes! They're stored in the gym office and given out to students who need them.

Thank you!

If your student is in need of a bookbag and/or school supplies, please email Mr. Malcolm at chad.malcolm@k12.wv.us. We have many available and would love to ensure students have all they need.

Student spotlight form is ready to go!
