It’s National School Bus Safety Week, and we’re sharing five important reminders to help keep our students safe on the road! From following the driver’s instructions to staying alert at the bus stop, small habits can make a big difference.
Parents and guardians, take a few minutes today to review these five safety tips with your child! Talk about safe bus behavior, practice safe habits at the bus stop, and remind them that keeping everyone safe is a shared responsibility. Let’s work together to make every ride a safe one! ❤️

While our students were learning from home today, our teachers and administration team were making the most of our scheduled eLearning Day!
Our staff spent the day learning, collaborating, and building their knowledge and skills so they can continue to support our students with confidence and care.
A special thank you to our Director of Safety & Security, Mr. Byers, for coordinating today’s professional learning opportunities and helping keep safety and preparedness at the forefront of what we do. We appreciate the time and thought that goes into creating meaningful opportunities for our staff to learn and grow together.
When our staff grows, our schools grow and our students benefit. ❤️📚

PCSC is making our community aware of a concerning “Cat in the Hat” social media trend currently circulating on TikTok, Snapchat, and other platforms. Some content includes disturbing or threatening images referencing schools across the country.
At this time, PCSC has received NO threats related to this trend, and there is no known threat to our schools or students.
We’re sharing this information simply as a proactive safety measure. Please review the attached information and help us keep our students informed and safe both at school and online. ❤️

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001, and the lives forever changed on that day.
We honor the lives lost, the first responders and heroes who answered the call, and the strength and compassion shown by communities across our nation.
May we always remember. May we never forget. 🇺🇸

Just a reminder that Plymouth Community School Corporation will be closed Friday, September 4, and Monday, September 7.
Enjoy the Blueberry Festival, make some memories, and have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend! ❤️
We’ll see everyone back at school on Tuesday, September 8! 🍎📚

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Friday, August 14, is our first early release Friday of the year!
As a reminder, PCSC schools dismiss early every Friday. Be sure to check the flyer for your child’s school-specific dismissal time and plan accordingly.
We hope everyone is settling into a great first week! 🎒🍎


The first day of school is officially in the books, and WOW what a day! From big smiles and new beginnings to old friends, new faces, busy hallways, and SO much excitement, our schools were filled with the energy that makes the first day so special. 🥹📚✏️
We loved seeing everyone back where they belong and watching our incredible staff welcome students with open arms.
Here’s a little glimpse at Day One across PCSC and we have a feeling this is going to be an AMAZING year! ✨
Welcome back, Rockies & Pilgrims! We’re so glad you’re here.
Here’s to a year full of learning, growing, laughing, and making memories!







TOMORROW, WE’RE BACK!🍎🎒
The wait is almost over… the first day of school is TOMORROW, Wednesday, August 12! 🎉
We’re ready for the laughter in the hallways, the excitement in the classrooms, new friendships, familiar faces, and all the moments that make a new school year so special.
We ask families for a little extra patience and understanding during afternoon dismissal and bus transportation. The first day brings a lot of moving pieces as students, staff, and bus drivers work to make sure everyone gets to the right place and for some students, it may even be their very first time riding a school bus!
Because of this, some buses may run a little later than usual during afternoon dismissal. Our transportation teams are working hard to get everyone home safely and efficiently.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through the excitement of Day One together!
To our students, families, teachers, and staff: welcome back! We hope you’re ready for an incredible 2026–2027 school year.
Let’s make it a great one! 🏫❤️
