High School Happenings
METHACTON HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER: August 12, 2024
Attention Families That Drop Students Off to School in the Morning!
We are moving the drop off location up!
We will be pulling the carline up to the LGI. You MUST pull all the way up to the LGI! This will help with the traffic for our community members. Also, you will not be able to pass on the left! We will paint lines so you have a visual to follow and staff members will be outside directing the flow. Please leave yourself enough time to use the drop off line the correct way. The picture below illustrates the change in location.
