Happy New Year! January 2-4
Happy New Year!
Can you believe it is 2019? The winter season has arrived. It is cold out there! I am sure that the children are thinking snow and plenty of it! Let’s hope that the winter is kind to us this year. In the event that school is closed, delayed or dismissing early, the district will continue to communicate school closing announcements via our website. The Methacton School District utilizes the SchoolMessenger system of emergency notification in the event of a weather related school schedule change. In the event of a school closing, early dismissal or late arrival, you will be notified via the primary phone number the district has in our student accounting system, unless you edit your preferences within the SchoolMessenger Contact Manager.
Inclement Weather Information
PLEASE NOTE: In the event that you do not receive a phone call before 5:45 a.m., and the weather seems inclement, be sure to utilize any of these other methods to verify the status of the school day. While SchoolMessenger is a very reliable system, no system is completely fail-safe, and so a variety of back-up measures are in place.
- ONLINE: Details regarding any delay, closure or early dismissal will be posted to the district's home page.
- E-MAIL and TEXT MESSAGE: You may register to the website to begin receiving e-alerts from the Methacton School District website - when school closings occur, you will receive an e-mail to the registered e-mail address, and a text message if you select that option. Individuals may create as many profiles as they like, in order to receive messages at multiple e-mail addresses.
- RADIO AND TELEVISION: Tune to KYW Newsradio 1060 AM and listen for Methacton School District’s code number for snow and other emergency school closings, 316. You will also see this information listed online at http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/schools/ and broadcast on the CBS 3 Eyewitness News school closing scroll. KYW/CBS 3 also offer a text message sign-up.
- PHONE: Individuals may also call the district's newsline at 610-831-5331 to hear a recorded message updating the community on the status of the school day.
In the event that schools are closed during regular daytime hours due to inclement weather, all evening events, activities and Community Education Program classes will also be canceled.
