Press release from Plymouth-Canton Community Schools:

12/05/2021 5:00 PM

Hello Field Families,

• Our Student Council has planned a countdown to Winter Break spirit days. Each day they've planned something fun for our Soaring Eagles to wear in a fun countdown to break.  Attached to the robocall transcript you will find the student council’s countdown to winter break spirit day calendar.  The Student Council is also sponsoring a collection of outerwear for Plymouth-Canton Schools' Clothing Bank. Students can bring in items to put on or under our Giving Tree in the lobby. 

• P-CCS will once again be hosting a COVID-19 vaccination clinic.  This clinic will offer vaccinations for the newly eligible 5-11 year old population, as well as vaccinations for older individuals.  Here are the details:

Wednesday 12/15/21 from 3 to 7 p.m. - Dose 1

Wednesday 1/5/22 from 3 to 7 p.m. - Dose 2

Canton High School Little Theater (near the front entrance and across from the main office)

Advance registration will be required.  Please click on this link to register:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeeQdAZ-_nWabNUn-VHPSoDPJe5NsGKSBAvCHO-YZVy4HHO3w/viewform?usp=sf_link

Boosters are available for adults who have completed their primary series, 6 months or later. Pfizer vaccines are available for ages 5 and up. Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are available for ages 18 and up. Please bring your completed forms and vaccine cards to the clinic for updates. 

*P-CCS is recommending all students get vaccinated, but it is not mandatory.  Each family should decide if getting vaccinated is right for them and their students.

• Beginning Wednesday, December 1, P-CCS secondary (6th through 12th grade) families will have the opportunity to select the learning experience they prefer for their student(s) for the remainder of the 2021-22 school year. This will be the only opportunity to change placement for the remainder of the 2021-22 school year.

This switch will likely change your child’s schedule and teachers.

Middle school families who want to change from in-person to the Virtual Academy can complete this form: Middle School Form. Please complete a form for each student. You will receive a confirmation email after you submit the form.

High school families who want to change from in-person to the Virtual Academy can complete this form: High School Form. Please complete a form for each student.  You will receive a confirmation email after you submit the form.

Middle and high school families that are currently attending the Virtual Academy will receive an e-mail communication with a link from the Virtual Academy coordinator.

Middle and high school families will have until Friday, December 10 at 11:59 p.m. to make their selection.

We are asking that ONLY families wishing a change complete the form.

• Plymouth-Canton Community Schools is applying to receive Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds (ESSER III) along with accessing funding made available through an Equalization allocation (referred to as Section 11t Equalization funding). These funds are designated for one-time and/or short-term expenditures to address learning loss and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are seeking input and feedback from district stakeholder groups, including students, families, and staff members, as we develop a plan for the most appropriate use of the funds to support student learning, mitigate the impact of COVID-19, and address the needs of students within the parameters of the grant funds.

Your input is valued greatly. We look forward to sharing more information about these important funding sources, responding to questions you may have, and to hearing your thoughts, ideas, and priorities for use of these funds to support student learning. Questions or comments may be directed to Nick Brandon, P-CCS Executive Director of Communications & Marketing, at nicholas.brandon@pccsk12.com.

This form will close on Tuesday, December 7 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

• Plymouth-Canton Community Schools produces a weekly podcast with all the important district information for students, staff, and families.  You can view the click  last LPT in 3 podcasts for this school year on the district’s official YouTube channel at:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-CrQRFRdCw

Thank you for your continued support of Field Elementary.
