Bank Day at Potomack
If students returned completed the bank applications sent home during the first few days of school, on Wednesday, September 11, they will have the opportunity to deposit money into bank accounts in the cafeteria at 8:40am. Representatives from City National Bank are at Potomack once a month to help students develop fiscal responsibility and health saving habits.
If you would like your student to participate and don't have the application handy, please reach out to your student's classroom teacher. We've had a healthy amount of applications returned so we're looking for a great Bank Day next week!
Annual Emergency Card
Please see the link below to update your student's annual emergency card. Thank you!
Strings Program at Potomack
String Orchestra classes will meet from 7:20-8:05am this year. String classes will start the week of September 16th.
Monday & Wednesday 2nd year students or have previous experience on the instrument
Tuesday & Thursday 1st year students or no experience on the instrument
Available instruments are violin, viola and cello. Ellsworth Music company will come to Potomack Intermediate on September 9th to rent string instruments to interested students. The rental visit will start at 5:00 and end by 6:00 PM. I will be available to help with questions about the class or the sizing of instruments because strings instruments are available in multiple sizes. The music company knows the music book I will be using.
Students will need an instrument, a music book, a 1-inch binder and a pencil. I recommend a stand for home practice and classes at school. There are additional supplies available. PLEASE do not purchase an internet string instrument- they make wonderful lamps but horrible instruments to learn how to play.
Please contact me, Priscilla McGar, at priscilla.mcgar@k12.wv.us if your child wants to learn how to play and there is a financial need. I have string instruments to loan!
First PTO Meeting
Please join us for a PTO meeting on Wednesday, September 11 at 4:00pm in the cafeteria. I've also created a Teams link in case you would like to attend virtually. Our focus for the first meeting will be electing officers and setting an agenda for the 24-25 school year.

Potomack Intermediate Shirts, Hats, Hoodies, etc.
As someone with a ton of pride in our school, I try to wear as much Potomack gear as possible. We have a certain number of students who do the same. If you're interested in getting your student a t-shirt, hoodie, hat, etc. Please make sure to look for the youth option as staff members are using the same store.
The shop will be open until Monday, September 16. The link is below. Thank you!
