The temperatures should be high enough to go outside for most recesses this week.  Please remember to have your children bring their boots and snow pants so they can get off of the blacktop and play in the snow.

 

I am excited to announce that there are no planned bus route pauses that impact Eriksson this week.

    DISTRICT NEWS:

    School of Choice ~ 2022-23

    The Plymouth-Canton Community Schools Board of Education passed a limited Schools of Choice resolution on Tuesday, January 25, opening up a minimum of one seat for kindergarten through 10th grade with a maximum of 250 seats for the 2022-23 school year. For the sixth consecutive year, the district will enroll students through the school of choice provisions in Section 105 and 105c, which means that families from Wayne County and all surrounding counties (Washtenaw, Macomb, Oakland, Monroe) are welcome to apply.  Like previous School of Choice programs, this addition will not displace any current resident P-CCS students.

    More details and important dates regarding the application process for both the intra-district process and the limited School of Choice program for non-resident families is available on the official 

    Plymouth-Canton Schools website found at https://www.pccsk12.com/Home/Components/News/News/24742/19?backlist=%2fhome.
