The first week of the 2024-2025 school year has been very positive! Students and staff are getting to know each other as everyone is getting used to their schedules. Please make sure you reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns.

Meet the Teacher Night will take place at MHS on Thursday, September 5, at 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm. This will be an opportunity for parents/guardians to follow their child's daily schedule, meet their teachers, and learn a bit about the experiences they will have over the course of the 2024-2025 school year. We hope to see all of our parents/guardians there! You will spend about 10 minutes in each class. I will send another message with the schedule this week!

We have moved our car line up to the auditorium this year. The auditorium doors open at 7:15. Please follow the direction of the staff who are out guiding traffic. We are moving through the line much quicker this year so there should not be a need to drop your child off before the doors open. There is no supervision before 7:15.

Students are expected to be on time to school and classes. Teachers may issue after-school detentions if students are late to class three or more times in a semester.

Students may be asked to use cell phone holders as they enter the classrooms. Teachers will inform students as to when students can use their phones. After school detentions may be given for inappropriate use of technology during the school day.

Please read the Student Handbook and the Code of Conduct located on the Methacton web site for more explicit information on student expectations!
