Communications

The primary goal of the Office of Communications is to support the district by coordinating internal and external communications and media relations. Other responsibilities include managing the district’s website, providing crisis communications and overall support of the district's educational and organizational goals through effective communications with all district stakeholders.

The Methacton School District is committed to quality communication with our families and other stakeholders. We seek to continuously improve our practices, and provide access to information in ways that best meet our community's needs.

This office also oversees the Community Education and Volunteer programs for the district.

Communications Tools

PowerSchool

PowerSchool serves as the central hub for all student information within our district. This system grants families convenient access to a comprehensive range of data, encompassing student contact details, attendance records, transportation arrangements, academic schedules, grades, and much more. To ensure you receive timely communications from the school district, it is crucial to keep your contact information within the PowerSchool system current and accurate.

Email and Phone Communications

Methacton School District maintains consistent communication with parents/guardians via email, providing essential updates. These include calendar reminders, notifications of school closures or early dismissals, emergency alerts, and informative newsletters from both the district and individual school principals. We use a program called SchoolMessenger which works in coordination with PowerSchool to send those messages out.

If you are not receiving email communications from the Methacton School District, please contact your school building's secretary, or the Communications Office at information@methacton.org

In the event of an emergency, you may also receive a phone call and/or a text message from the Methacton School District.
