Headlines:

• We would like to remind you that the MI Backpack Home Test program provides one COVID-19 test kit (2 tests) free of charge to every staff member and student within the district.

• The next scheduled pickup will be Wednesday, February 2, from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Discovery Middle School (45083 Hanford Rd, Canton).

• An additional pickup will be held in the evening on Wednesday, February 9. Details will be shared next week via the official district website, our social media outlets, and the ’LPT in 3’ Podcast.

• Congratulations to P-CEP students Claire Stelmaszek and Jonathan McKaye, who placed second and third in the Suburban Collection's ‘Focus on the Road’ Video Contest. 

  • Claire won $1,500 for her video “That Driver” and Jonathan won $1,000 for his video “Focusing On The Road (Medical)”.

• The Plymouth-Canton Community Schools Board of Education passed a limited Schools of Choice resolution 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. 

  • As part of the resolution, and similar to last year, the District will first open a one-time Intra-District (for resident P-CCS students) Transfer application process to begin Wednesday, January 26.

  • Similar to School of Choice placements, Intra-District Transfers will only be available for open seats; however, they will be considered before School of Choice placements are made. This application is located on the official district website under the Student Services area and can be found by searching ‘School Choice Options’ in the search engine. 

  • The online School of Choice application window will be open from Friday, February 25 to Wednesday, March 23 and can be found at www.pccsk12.com beginning on February 25 at midnight. 

• Due to staffing challenges with our transportation system most families have received transportation robocalls during the past several months. We are pleased to announce that we are going to enhance our morning communications by sending text messages as well. You will receive a robocall and a text message if your bus is cancelled for the day. Our goal is to always stay connected to our community so you can stay connected with us!
