Big news is that we have set a date for our Revolutionary War Play.....It will be April 28th. We will have one performance during the school day for the school and one at 6:00 pm for the "public". We need all of our students to be at this performance as this also counts as their music performance as well. They have been working on this for a long time and we hope that it ends up as good as we know it can be! We could use some parental help with costumes. If you have a talent in that area contact your students homeroom teacher as we could use some help!
We want to remind everyone that our first virtual make up day will be this Saturday, April 11. Students will be able to get their assignments through Echo. We will be discussing the assignments with the students this week and they will be "released" on Thursday and will be due by the following Tuesday. If internet is an issue here are some suggestions from the administration office for you:
The following are seven options for PCSC families without Internet:
- Home Internet access – If families do not have home access due to financial reasons, and are within reach of Comcast Cable… they may check out Comcast Internet Essentials, which provides full Internet access for less than $10 a month. Parents interested should ask building secretaries for a pamphlet. Families may have Internet connectivity using a cell phone as a hotspot or through tethering. Families would need to check with their cell phone provider; there could be added data cost.
- A friend or relative’s Internet access – This could be a great time for students to collaborate with friends or relatives while sharing Internet connectivity.
- Apartment or Association Clubhouse – If families live in apartments, associations, or condominiums, many supply Wi-Fi in their clubhouse. It will also be important to bring a charged computer/iPad and headsets for privacy and the privacy of others.
- Church and/or social club Internet access – While PCSC is not working directly with any church or clubs, families may contact their church, or social club. It will also be important to bring a charged computer/iPad and headsets for privacy and the privacy of others. Boys and Girls Club of Marshall County has Internet service.
- Area Businesses – Local restaurants, coffee houses, or bookstores could be used on occasion for Wi-Fi connection. It will also be important to bring a charged computer/iPad and headsets. PCSC will maintain a list of local businesses who offer free Wi-Fi on the PCSC website.
- Plymouth High School will be open on both Virtual Day Saturdays from 9:00 - 3:00 p.m. for students who do not have Internet access at home and questions about assignments. Any student 6th Grade and below must be accompanied by a parent.
- Public Libraries have free Internet access.

Thanks as always for helping remind your students about their Achieve requirement and their reading calendars. These are two easy grades that we do not want them to miss out on. We are in the final stretch of our year and we want to end this with a bang! Thanks for all of your encouragement and help with your student.
