Dr. Harmer Message
Hello Eagleville Families,
It was great to return to Eagleville this week! I want to thank Ms. Ricci and the staff for a wonderful job during my recovery. I realize we face challenging times right now, but be assured that the safety of the children always come first. If you have any questions in regards to absence or illness don't hesitate to call. Mrs. Cramer our school nurse and our office staff are working tirelessly to be there to answer all your questions.
Next Thursday, January 13th is the Eagleville Winter Concert which will begin at 7 PM and will be held at Woodland Elementary. The students are very excited for our first live concert in two years! Please enjoy your weekend.

Virtual Kindergarten Readiness
Building Sight Words in 1st Grade
In 4th grade students worked together to create circuits and learned some new science vocab like power source 🔋 path and load
A huge haul of library books going home!
Some wonderful art work from our students with a winter perspective
Students in Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Hart’s class collected data, made tally charts and created bar graphs and tables to organize data.
Cold Weather Recess
Don't forget the coats and cold weather gear when you return to school. Even in the winter months students go out for recess on most days. We want them to be comfortable when they play.
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.

Student Self-Screening Checklist
Please review the Student Self-Screening Checklist with your student every morning before school. If they have 2 symptoms from the first category OR 1 symptom from the second category please keep them home. Call the Absence line (610) 831- 5325 and report your student absent and symptomatic. Your student should be tested for Covid-19 and results sent to the school nurse. We are requiring a negative test result before your student can return to school. Please call Mrs. Cramer our school nurse for any questions. She can be reached at (610) 489-5000 extension 41206.
Health and Safety Plan
The school district recently adopted an update to the health and safety plan.
Here is the
Link for the health and safety plan. Please take the time to read it.
Masks are required inside the building.
Counselor's Corner
As the new year begins, it’s a great time to think of new habits. Consider talking to your child about some healthy choices and keeping goals small and manageable. Some goals may include: being in bed by 9:00, exercising for 30 minutes each day, limiting screen time to an hour and eating some fruit and vegetables each day. Having your child make a chart to track progress is a fun way to motivate them. For help with a family goal chart, contact Lori Shaw, School Counselor at 610-489-5000 X41207 or LShaw@methacton.org
