A Message from Mrs. Paul Good evening, Plymouth Creek families:
Collectively, we've had an eventful week. I want to reiterate the messages you received this week from elementary principals and from our Superintendent, Dr. Anderson: We are here for you and we are here for your students - every day. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there are ways that I, or members of our support staff, can support your family. Below, you can access the resources that were shared in the emails from earlier this week. Please be reminded: there is no school tomorrow - Friday, April 23 - for elementary students. It is a planning day for our staff. This includes our Distance Choice students as well.
Take good care, Ashley Paul

Plymouth Creek PTO needs your help! Please send photo submissions for the yearbook to: Plymouthcreek2021yearbook@gmail.com. Class photos, Zoom photos and candid photos are all needed. To send pictures, please open the email and attach the photo to the email. This will ensure that the picture is sent in the correct format for it to be added to the yearbook. The deadline for photo submissions is April 30.
There are 3 different options for student school photos to be included in the yearbook: 1. In-person, through Lifetouch (April 15) 2. Lifetouch is offering a picture day Snap @ Home. There is a $5 fee for this, but the photo is set on the same background as the picture day photos. Parents can share their 'snap at home' photo by downloading it to their desktop and emailing it to us. 3. Headshots can be taken at home and emailed in. Please make sure that you use a plain background and good lighting.
Any questions? Send us an email!
