Week of November 2 - November 6
Hybrid learning model starts Monday, November 9, 2020
We are looking forward to welcoming our Hybrid cohorts back this week. Please take the time to log in to Power School to confirm your in person days (Empower M/S or Inspire T/Th).
Our Methacton Online students will begin following the in person schedule starting Monday, November 9th. The teaching staff and support staff have put in an incredible amount of work to prepare for another new instructional journey. Please be patient as students and teachers adjust, and always keep the line of communication open with your child's teacher.

Do you want to help with Arrowhead Announcements?
We are interested in having our students participate in our morning announcements. We created a flipgrid topic link so students can record themselves making announcements. They can say the pledge allegiance, the Arrowhead School pledge or tell a joke. This is completely optional. If you allow your child to create a flipgrid video, this will provide the consent for the video to be shared during our morning announcements. Again, this is an optional activity and it will only be shared with your agreement. If you are interested in creating a flipgrid video, please click on the flipgrid link https://flipgrid.com/e75120f3
