High School Happenings

As we begin to wind down another school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for the partnership, encouragement, and support you provide your children each and every day.

The high school years are filled with growth that often happens quietly through challenges faced, friendships formed, lessons learned, disappointments overcome, and moments of confidence gained.

Behind every student is a family cheering them on, helping them navigate busy schedules, celebrating successes, and offering support during difficult days. We see that, and we are grateful for it. I hope you take time to recognize just how much your child has grown both academically and personally. Teenagers may not always say it out loud, but your presence, patience, and steady encouragement matter.

Thank you for trusting us with your children. It is a privilege to walk alongside them during these important years.

Your son/daughter will be entering the 11th grade for the 2026 – 2027 school year. The Pennsylvania School Health Law requires a medical examination for all students in 11th grade. This grade was selected because it represents a critical period of growth and development in a teenager’s life.

We are able to accept the following documentation:

• Well visit dated after January 2026: A print out of a well visit from the physician, note from a healthcare provider or school physical form filled out which is attached. 11th Grade Physical Form (English) (Needed On File Prior to 12th grade School Year), 11th Grade Physical Form (Spanish); (Needed On File Prior to 12th Grade School Year)

• Driver's license physical

• Sports Physical

This mandate needs to be completed and returned by the end of Junior year (June 2027) or it will be considered an obligation as your student enters their senior year.

*Additionally, if your student is 16 years old or older, they should also receive their 2nd Meningococcal A, C, W, Y. Please provide an updated vaccine record when submitting your physical. Montgomery County Health Department: School Immunization Information

Please call for any questions or concerns. 610-489-5000 x25040. Please see the additional links below for more information.

This form pertains to NMTCC session 1 (AM tech) and session 2 (PM tech juniors) students for school attendance on May 21, 2026. On this date, Methacton High School is in session, while NMTCC Seniors will have their end-of-year celebration and award ceremony. Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors will not have North Montco classes on this day. This process will enable parents or guardians to excuse their child from Methacton High School during those periods when they would normally be at NMTCC for technical school classes.

Students who do not receive this parental permission will attend Methacton study hall for the periods they would otherwise be in attendance at NMTCC. No email or telephone permissions will be accepted.

. There are two possible ways to support our class.

1. We are selling "Final Exam Survival Kits" for high school students. Parents can purchase goodie bags that contain snacks, encouraging words, and study tips from MHS teachers for $10 per student. They will be delivered to students before the start of exams.

2. Or parents can choose to sponsor a teacher's classes for finals for $10 per teacher. Teachers will give each student a treat and an encouraging note before their final exam.

6/2- 6/3: If exempt from finals, dismissal is at 1:28. Parents only have to go into Power School if students typically have a class and are exempt from finals. Seniors who leave this time already do not need a Power School entry.

6/4: If exempt from finals, students may leave at 11:12, PARENTS MUST RECORD this time on Power School. If students are not exempt, they leave at 1:28 without PS entry.

6/5: If exempt from finals students may leave at 11:12, not exempt leaves at 1:28 (same requirements as above).

6/8 - 6/9: If exempt students do not have to come into school (except Tuesday’s practice). Parents must submit record in Power School.

Students will be leaving out the auditorium exit and we will scan them out just as we do now for early dismissal senior study hall.
