Fall Festival October 29th
Fall Festival Student Costume Update/Information:
Hi Arrowhead families,
See costume guidance below:
- Health-related face masks must continue to be worn as per the District's Health and Safety Plan. Therefore, no costume masks may be worn.
- Select a costume that is in good taste and should not be offensive in nature, design or intent.
- Costumes should not hinder or restrict your child’s movement. Remember that all students will follow their regular daily schedule, e.g. physical ed., art, music, lunch/recess, etc…
- Long costumes may pose trip hazards and should not be worn.
- Face painting should be applied at home and should be minimally applied so that students’ faces are recognizable.
- Avoid blood/gore as this is inappropriate for elementary school.
- Costume accessories that are deemed dangerous or similar to weaponry are not permitted.
Students should come to school dressed in their costumes. Their costumes should be comfortable and not interfere with the students’ responsibilities and safety. It is recommended that students wear regular clothes under their costumes just in case.
It is our goal for this to be a positive and fun experience for our students and staff. Please help us by ensuring that your child/children adhere to the expectations. As always, we appreciate your cooperation and support.

MSD Backpack Program
The Methacton Backpack program is up and running in each of our buildings and serves district families in need with supplemental food and non-food items. This program helps create food stability for breakfast and lunch when our students are not in school. Weekly, the program sends home a bag of breakfast, lunch, and snack items for the weekend and holiday breaks for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Families who qualify for free/reduced meals are eligible to participate in the Backpack Program. Please contact the school counselor if you would like to register your child for the Backpack program.
In order to continue to sustain the program please consider contributing and donating items to the program. Items can be donated directly to the school or you can place an order through Amazon and ship it directly to our school from the Amazon page.
