- PowerSchool Parent Portal Updates: It is important to have updated and correct contact information for all students. Please take the time to verify and update this information in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Please log into powerschool.methacton.org/public to review and update the Contact Information Section for your child. This review and verification of this data is required each school year.
- Parents/ Guardians of Seniors: 1) Diploma Information sheets were distributed to students last week and should be returned to main office indicating how student name should appear on the diploma and signed by parent. 2) Graduation envelope from Student Services Company was also distributed to seniors detailing information on purchasing the mandatory cap & gown package required for the graduation ceremony. Information on both items may be found on the high school web page and due date for both is November 15.
- Methacton School Store: Student Council has started a school store. Many items can be customized with colors and logos! Free shipping is available to the high school for your student to pick up, or a $6 delivery fee for home shipping.

- School Closings/Delays/Early Dismissals: As we enter the winter months, the likelihood increases of disruptions to the school day due to inclement weather. The School Messenger message system will be activated to notify families of delays or closings. 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 School Messenger is a very reliable system, no system is completely fail-safe, and so a variety of back-up measures are in place. When weather conditions are severe enough to warrant a change in the school day; information will be posted on the district website (www.methacton.org), broadcast by area radio and television stations, and pushed out on social media. When announced, all schools in the district will be closed for the day, delayed, or dismissed early according to the schedule announced. A two-hour delay means students will report to their bus stops two hours later than usual. REMEMBER: If there no announcement, you should assume school is opening on time. When schools are closed, activities scheduled that afternoon and evening are also cancelled.
