Dear Potomack Intermediate Community:


I want to make you aware of a safety report that I investigated here at school throughout the day on Thursday. Yesterday, a student made a statement that he said he was going to instruct another person (adult outside of school) to commit an act of violence. The statement was immediately reported to me, and I investigated it immediately. At the conclusion of the investigation, the statement was deemed to be non-credible. Appropriate disciplinary action was taken, and the situation was considered handled. I chose not to send a community-wide message due to the non-credible nature of the statement at that time.

I understand we are stewards of your most precious resource, your children. Please know that the health and safety of our students and staff is our priority, and due to the nature of the safety report, a police presence will be present at school today. Additionally, I want to give a special shout-out to our students for reporting conversations of concern.


My sincere thanks for your support as we work together to ensure our students feel safe and welcome to ensure that academic and social and emotional success can be the focus of each student at Potomack.


In partnership,

Dr. Arch
