PJSD Family Newsletter

PJSD Families-

Welcome to 2025! We hope that all of you enjoyed a wonderful holiday season with your families.

Our first semester wrapped up at PHS last week, marking the official halfway point of the school year. It's remarkable that we are already to this point... and we know that the year actually seems to accelerate as we approach June.

The Plymouth Education Foundation is a wonderful organization that supports all of our students and programs throughout the district. The foundation's primary fundraiser for the 2024-2025 school year will take place February 22nd at the Plymouth Arts Center. Please access this link to find out how you can take part in a fun evening of music bingo while supporting all of our students.

We have many exciting competitions and performances on the horizon. Please check out the preceding links for details and come out to support and enjoy the talents of our students and staff.

Be sure to skim through the sections that follow, and be "in the know" of our current events and information. Thank you for all that you do to support your student(s), staff, and the Plymouth Joint School District.

Be well, and Go Panthers!

Scott Stier

Superintendent

In order to streamline communication from Johnson School Bus to families regarding route interruptions, we've created two Remind “classes” that you can join: Elementary School Routes and PHS/Riverview MS Routes. Going forward, all bus route notifications will be sent via Remind only.

Anyone can join one or both classes. Once you join, you will receive notifications or texts any time Johnson School Bus sends a message to that class.

Click here for instructions on how to install the Remind app on your smartphone to get push notifications, as well as instructions on how to sign up for text notifications if you prefer not to use the app.
