Dr. Harmer Message-Band Day May 7th Arcola

“Is your child interested in learning a band instrument? If the answer is YES you should definitely come to Band Day on May 7th at Arcola Intermediate School. We will have a question and answer session about the band program for parents/guardians and kids. There is also going to be a short concert that you are welcome to attend! The question/answer session is for any student entering 4th grade and beyond that is interested in learning a band instrument. The concert portion is open to anyone interested in hearing incredibly talented students perform!


For more information please click the attached flyer or contact the band director, Mrs. DiRenzo (ddirenzo@methacton.org).

We hope to see you there!”

Standards Based Grading

The Methacton School District uses a standards-based grading system for students in grades K-4. This system helps us more accurately measure students’ mastery of PA Core Academic Standards in all subjects. The elementary report cards have been revised to reflect the changes to the state standards and Methacton’s curricula. The goal of this approach to reporting is to provide parents, students, and teachers with a detailed picture of what students know and are able to demonstrate. The information provided on the report card encourages dialogue about areas of strength and need, and how our students can continue to grow academically.


This article, Seven Reasons for Standards-Based Grading, explains more about standards-based grading.


As your child’s teacher explained during our Back-to-School night, I CAN statements have been developed to share with you what skills your child is being assessed on and the expectation of mastery for each trimester. The I CAN statements are listed on our MSD Family Center.
