Communication
Woodland uses SchoolMessenger for our weekly newsletters. Woodland's Home and School Association uses Konstella to share information. All families are automatically enrolled in School Messenger using their contact information in PowerSchool. We encourage you to sign up for Konstella as well in order to stay informed.
Lunch/Breakfast
Visit the Methacton website, or click here, for information on our breakfast and lunch programs. Free & Reduced lunch applications, payment methods, and menus can be found on the website. Aramark begins serving breakfast and lunch on the first day of school. Breakfast this year is free and will be served “grab and go” style so students can eat in their classroom. Our school lunch price is $2.95.
Medication
Nursing services are available during the school day. Please notify the nurse of any changes in your child’s medical condition, or of any immunizations/surgeries your child had over the summer. Medications sent to school are to be dropped off by the parent/guardian and delivered to the nurse at the beginning of the school day in an original, labeled container with a note from the doctor and parent with dispensing instructions.
School Hours
9:05 A.M. - 3:35 P.M.
Visiting the School
All doors are locked during the school day. Visitors enter through the front doors of the school and then scan their driver’s license/passport in the Lobby Guard kiosk for entry into the building. For security purposes, clearances are required for all volunteers helping at the school. Visit https://www.methacton.org/volunteer for more information.
