High School Happenings

Methacton School District has updated its attendance reporting procedures. If your child will be absent, arriving late, or leaving early from school, you must report this to the school in one of two ways:

• Using the new attendance reporting feature in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. This fulfills the written note requirement and provides direct notification to the school. Click here for step-by-step instructions.

• Calling the school attendance office. Absences reported by phone will be marked unexcused unless a signed physical note is submitted to the school’s main office within three days.

It's important that parents/guardians review all of the new attendance reporting procedures at www.Methacton.org/attendance

Schedule Change Request Form:

The Schedule Change Request Form is now open. Students who were recommended for a higher level class, but want to move down a level (Ex. recommended for Honors English 11 but would like to stay in Academic English 11) must complete the Google Form. This request must be completed by students AND parents so everyone is aware of the change. Counselors will not be accepting email requests.

We’re asking for your help. Methacton Post Prom still has more than 170 volunteer slots open, and sign‑ups close on April 10th. This incredible, free, all‑night event keeps our teens safe on one of the biggest nights of their lives, but it can only happen when the whole community steps up. You do not need to have a current high school student to volunteer; Post Prom has always been powered by parents, alumni families, neighbors, and friends who simply care. Helping now doesn’t just make this year possible, it ensures Post Prom can continue for future classes who will rely on it just as much as today’s students. Visit www.methactonpostprom.org to sign up!

Celebrate your Methacton Graduate with a graduation lawn sign. All proceeds support the Methacton Post Prom.
