MHS Parents,

On May 12,13,14, and 15 many students will be involved in AP and Keystone testing. Those students will report to school at the normal time. Students not involved in that testing will have a three hour delay start to school. Classes will be condensed and/or eliminated on different days throughout the week.

Busses will run at normal time for students taking Keystones or AP's and again three hours later for students not taking those tests.

If your child is NOT taking those tests and you are driving them to school, please follow all the normal procedures to drop them off between 10:15 am and 10:30 am.

Thank you.

The Counseling office will accept a COMPLETED Acceleration Form up until the end of the day Friday, May 2nd. Forms will need the signature of the parent, current teacher, and the department coordinator.

Friday May 2nd is the last day to submit Destination letters along with college acceptances and scholarship information to the high school counseling office. Scholarship information will not be accepted after May 2nd.

The High School Counseling Dept. mailed home the Destination letters during the break.

• These forms need to be filled out and note all schools the student was accepted to, denied or waitlisted.
• Note which school the student plans to attend
• Send with the form, copies of acceptance letters FOR ALL SCHOOLS
• Send copies of ALL scholarship offers
• Students need to return items to Mrs. Gracie in the counseling office by the end of the day May 2nd

At Methacton, are committed to ensuring that every student receives the support they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. To best achieve this, we are exploring a framework called Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) for grades 7-12.

MTSS is a proactive and data-driven approach that provides support to each student. It focuses on identifying and addressing students’ academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs through a three-tiered system:

· Tier 1: All students receive high-quality instruction and classroom-wide support as part of the core curriculum.

· Tier 2: Some students receive targeted interventions in specific areas to support their learning and development.

· Tier 3: A small number of students receive intensive, individualized support tailored to their unique needs.

Through MTSS, student progress is continually monitored and research-based strategies are used to help every child succeed.

In the coming months, we will be exploring options and will update you on our progress as we work to build a stronger, more effective support system for all students.

You can contact Dr. Paul Spiewak at pspiewak@methacton.org or at 610-489-5093 with any specific questions.

If your child is late to class or school three times or if he/she is using their cell phone at an inappropriate time, he/she will receive a detention. Detentions run from 2:30 - 3:30 Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Your child will choose the day.

If your child does not show up, you and your child will receive a message from the detention monitor, Ms. Quintois. She will schedule your child for another day. Please do not email Ms. Quintois about the detention. She is only the monitor and does not have any specifics about your child's misbehavior.

If your child does not attend the second detention, the assistant principals will become involved and you will be notified by one of them.

It's never too early to start thinking about the future.
