Transportation Update
This information only pertains to families who have chosen to personally transport their child/ren home from school (PM car riders).
For the safety of our students, we have implemented a new ‘End of Day’ transportation procedure for regular car riders. According to the survey you filled out earlier this year, your child is to ride home by car each day they attend school in person. If you have changed your mind, and would prefer your child take the school bus home, kindly send me an email with your changes. If possible, we would like to keep your child’s means of transportation the same each day they attend school.
Starting Monday, December 14, 2020 all families that had elected to be ‘end of the day car riders’ will be assigned a number which will serve as a quick identifier for regular car riders. Each family will receive 2 copies of a dashboard car number sign which is meant to be placed on the passenger side dashboard of the designated parent or guardian’s car.
Of course, if you have an emergency and you need your child to ride home in a different manner, please email Barb Goff (bgoff@methacton.org) and copy Adriana Rundle (arundle@methacton.org)
Dell discounted savings offered to students, staff, and families
The district uses dell technology and as a result we are able to extent discounts and savings to our students, staff, and families. See attached flyer below with information provided from the district.

Dear Arrowhead families,

Pick up your child's Methacton Device
If you have been using a personal laptop or other device for at home learning it will be necessary to pick up a Methacton device if you choose the on premise Hybrid option. Only Methacton devices will work when your child/children are in school.
1. Parents can stop over to the Technology Office M-F in the back of Farina Administration Building next to the high school baseball field from 8am to 3:30pm
2. Parents can sign up for a pick up time at https://www.methacton.org/site/default.aspx?PageType=3&DomainID=4&ModuleInstanceID=183&ViewID=6446EE88-D30C-497E-9316-3F8874B3E108&RenderLoc=0&FlexDataID=4513&PageID=1
during our extended Wednesday hours. (to 7:00pm).
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
Wishing you and your family a joyous holiday season! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
