Winter break!

We did it! We made it to Winter Break! My entire family has been counting down to this break, but I honestly don't know who is more excited - me or my girls. I'm looking forward to lazy nights (without homework), getting some order in my disordered house, and good, old-fashioned quality time with my family over the next two weeks. May the break be for you exactly what you desire and need. Happy Holidays!

David Sutherland - Social Studies Department - I have a school problem! I would be a professional student if possible. A.B. Communications - U of M - Ann Arbor, MA Educational Technology - Wayne State, MS Educational Leadership - Concordia University, and JD University of Detroit Mercy - My philosophy of education is .... and this is no joke... I have the document from 1994 when I got hired.. "Learning Should Be Fun!" I try to make sure the students are excited to enter my room every day because they know they'll learn something new which will usually be accompanied by a unique story to reinforce the concept. We have lots of laughs along the way.

My personal goal is to continue to embrace my passion for fitness without anymore trips to Kendra my physical therapist. Professionally, I am always trying to take my content (law, civics, media literacy, and sociology) to new levels. I am constantly pushing my students to understand complex content and acquire new advanced skills without them realizing they are going way beyond what they typically think they are capable of.

Elderly parents keep life interesting! In my spare time I like to exercise, golf, attend U of M sporting events, and I believe I have an Amazon book "issue" that I may need to address. I am well stocked for retirement. I am passionate about making the law easy for lay people to understand. I am also very passionate about professional ethics and conduct.

My classroom from the perspective of an administrator who evaluated me during my career. "People have no idea what you do." Oops! 7 -

A book I have read recently is Unwarranted: Policing Without Permission by Barry Friedman.

Did you know that there are so many apps available to help us monitor social media? The speaker who came in early December was very well received. If you missed her presentation, then here is a LINK to it. The file is very large so you will want to open it on a computer and not your phone. I have been using the app OurPact for several years and love it. It allows me to schedule bedtimes, HW time, etc. for each of my kids. I used the free version for at least a year and then upgraded so that I could select which apps to allow to remain on the phone/ipdad (i.e., I allow the apps that are related to school - google drive, google docs, etc.) 

Did you know that while there is a decrease nationally in the percentage of students who smoke tobacco there is an increase in students who use e-cigarettes and vape? Possession and/or use of an electronic cigarette or vaporizer is prohibited on school grounds, school property, school buses, and vehicles on school grounds, even if students are 18 and can legally purchase an electronic cigarette. Please partner with us in educating your children about the risks of electronic cigarettes. Here's a tip sheet for parents for talking with kids about e-cigarettes  and another Article on the subject. 

Did you know that we had a great Challenge Day Assembly with 9th graders?This was part of our continued intentional effort to teach empathy to our students. A school community that cares for one another and respects each other's differences makes for a great learning environment. You can see some of the pictures below. 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow, we went from one holiday right until the next one! This time of year provides an opportunity to consciously pause, reflect, and give thanks. My wish for all of you is that this break allows you to rest and recharge, and that you have quality time with family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving!

COMING SOON: We are extremely fortunate to be able to host Katey McPherson, the Executive Director of The Gurian Institute, to present a parent workshop on Tuesday, 12/5, from 7-8 pm in the Plymouth Cafeteria. In this one-hour session, parents will learn practical tips and strategies to manage, supervise, and understand the pressures our kids face and how they can respond to the immediate need to recognize that this is a crucial mental health and wellness issue. All parents of students in grades 4-12 are welcome to attend. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one! Please help spread the word! Here is FLYER for details. 

My name is Jennifer Dealy and this is my 3rd year in the Counseling Department. Even though I've only been at Plymouth a short time, I started my career teaching Language Arts and Social Studies in Plymouth Canton Community Schools back at Lowell Middle School in 1995. Since then, I was fortunate enough to work at both East and Discovery. I have a Bachelor's degree in teaching from U of M - Dearborn and a Master's Degree in counseling from Wayne State. My educational philosophy is very student centered. I think that my best teaching and learning has come when my relationships with students were on point.

A personal goal that I am working on is trying to live in a healthy way spiritually, physically and mentally. I'm trying to make sure that I am living in the moment, enjoying the little things and remembering that "Life is a journey... not a destination!" Professionally this year I am really focusing on building relationships with students so that they know me and feel comfortable asking for help. Again, the relationship piece of this job is where I know I need to focus.

I am very blessed to have wonderful 19 year old twin sons, Jacob and Josh, and a very sweet husband, Steve. I have 9 nieces and nephews with whom I enjoying spending time as well. I spend a lot of time with family and my husband and I enjoy hanging out and going new places. Church is important to me and I feel like this part of my life has helped keep me grounded and sane. I do feel very blessed with all I have been given.

Five words to describe Plymouth High School would be: supportive, welcoming, cheery, flexible and fun!

National Letter of Intent Signers

Did you know that there are many reasons to celebrate? Recently the PHS Boys Cross Country team finished 2nd in the State, our P-CEP Marching Band, who also finished 2nd in the State, went on to place 24th at Nationals, Girls Golf finished 5th in the state, and Boys Tennis was named All-State Academic with an impressive 4.17 Team GPA! And, just last week, 6 athletes signed their Letter of Intent to play college athletics after high school. Congratulations to Logan Dziadzio (Madonna Baseball); Evan Good (Northwood Baseball); Anthony Crump (University of North Carolina - Asheville Basketball); Erin Johnson (Grand Valley State Golf); Ethan Byrnes (Wayne State Cross Country); and Paige Sanders (Oakland Track and Field). 

Did you know that counselors met with all 9th grade students? Counselors met with their freshmen students in small groups on November 14th and November 15th. During the class period, counselors helped students "build a blueprint" by working on four year planning. During this time, students thought about their academic and personal goals and how to get there.  

Did you know that all Freshmen will participate in a Challenge Day Assembly on Friday, 12/1? This year, for the first time, the Park is hosting a Challenge Day Assembly for all 9th grade students. In the past we have always had the three Challenge Days (one per school); however, we wanted to expand the message of increasing awareness and empathy by offering this experience of the Challenge Day Assembly to all Freshmen. We're super excited!

I hope you had a Happy Halloween! Look at some of the pumpkins in one of our biology classes. I think I shocked the kids when I started pointing out the specific parts on the neuron pumpkin. Hey, once a biology teacher, always a biology teacher! 

And some pictures from last week . . .

Hi, my name is Karen Pakula and I teach math at Plymouth High School. This is my fourteenth year at Plymouth High School. Prior to teaching at PHS, I taught part-time for seven years with PCCS Alternative/Adult Education program at Starkweather Education Center. I have been a teacher, in one form or another for 30+ years. I absolutely love it! My teaching experience is very diverse – I have taught at many different levels: middle school, high school, alternative education, and adult education. The one thing I have learned from my varied experiences is: Students are students, it doesn’t matter where they come from or who they are. The bottom line is that education is a necessity and as a teacher it is my mission to convey its importance. It is my responsibility to teach and help students become a productive, well-rounded citizens. I want to make a difference in their lives!

My personal goals this year are to exercise regularly, eat healthy and continue to spend quality time with my family. My professional goal is to use restorative circles in my classroom this year as one way to create a community in which all students want to and can learn.

My family and I live in Canton. Thirty-two years ago I married my high school sweetheart. He is in pharmaceutical sales and works for Sanofi. We have two sons. Parker is 24 and a graduate of Canton High School and Central Michigan University. He is employed by Ford Motor Company as a buyer in Purchasing. Carson is 19 and a 2016 graduate of Canton High School. He is a sophomore at Central Michigan University pursuing a degree in Biology.

Five words to describe my classroom are welcoming, colorful, energetic, challenging, and respectful.

Did you know that our student athletic captains completed the first day of a two-day leadership training? The training focused on the BE GREAT curriculum, which includes Boundaries, Expectations, Growth, Respect, Empathy,Assertiveness, and Trust. The training is facilitated by P-CEP teachers Derek Southwick and Nicol Shamey.

Did you know that P-CEP offers student shadow days for families who reside in the boundaries of P-CCS but do not currently attend P-CCS? Our first shadow days are 11/14 (CHS), 11/15 (PHS), and 11/16 (SHS).  You can get more information about P-CEP Shadow days HERE. 

High School Musical Homecoming

The steady drizzle last Friday night didn't keep the fans away from the tailgate and Homecoming Football game. Shades of pink were everywhere for the "pink out."  And, the dance on Saturday, complete with a High School Musical theme, rounded out our 2017 Homecoming Festivities. See below for some pictures.

My name is Meghan Starr and I am a new teacher in the Social Studies Department. I have a Bachelors from Oakland University and have done one year of teaching in Sterling Heights prior to this school year. I believe that personal relationships with the kids are the key to being a successful teacher and I look forward to building relationships with the students and staff of P-CEP this school year.

This school year I hope to develop meaningful relationships with my students and put an emphasize on differentiation in building curriculum throughout this year.

My boyfriend of 3 years, Blair, and I have just recently moved to the Novi area and are looking forward to exciting new adventures in the area. I am also blessed with four younger brothers and sisters that make me extremely proud on a daily basis and who allows me to spend much of my free time supporting them in their various activities. On top of these activities I enjoy hiking, skiing, watching sports, and spending time with my friends and family.

In my short time at Plymouth High School so far I have found the staff and students of Plymouth to be supportive, professional, compassionate, and all around accepting. It is never easy to begin working and moving to a new place, but I believe that I have been blessed by beginning my career here at Plymouth and I can't wait to see what the future has in store.

This past summer I decided to relive my childhood by rereading the Harry Potter series.

Challenge Day is a 6 1/2-hour kickoff program which is designed for 100 students and 25 staff members. This program is created to build connection and empathy, and to fulfill the vision that every child lives in a world where they feel safe, loved, and celebrated. Challenge Day is more than a one-day program. It goes beyond traditional anti-bullying efforts, building empathy and igniting a movement of compassion and positive change, known as the Be the Change Movement. Each school will have their own Challenge Day event: Plymouth’s will be Tuesday, 11/28; Salem’s will be on Wednesday, 11/29; and Canton’s is on Thursday, 11/30. All Park Freshmen will participate in a Challenge Day Assembly on Friday, 12/1. For more information regarding Challenge Day please visit their website at http://www.challengeday.org/

Homecoming Festivities

The kids had a blast at the pep rally this past Friday! The teachers lost the traditional tug-of-war against the students, but honestly, they didn't stand a chance . . . there were 15 teachers versus 38 student captains!!  We are already plotting and planning for next year, but mostly to make sure that the teams are even. :) See the picture collage below with a few highlights. 
This week is full of excitement as we head into our Homecoming weekend with the tailgate and game on Friday and dance on Saturday. In preparation for the dance, please read and review the dance guidelines with your child. P-CEP dance guidelines. We are looking forward to a fun filled weekend!

Hi, my name is Mark Howson and I am a Counselor at Plymouth High School. This is my 5th year as a Counselor and the start of my first full year at Plymouth. I received my bachelor degree for Western Michigan and my Masters from San Jose State. I am very excited to start the school year and seeing and meeting so many new faces.

My wife Ashley and I, just passed our four year anniversary and have one daughter, Jane, who just turned 7 months old. Adding a child to the mix has made for a very busy time and a lack of sleep, but I have loved every minute of it.

Monday check-in

In past years, we met with all 9th graders in the cafeteria during one period to welcome them to high school; introduce their support team; go over basic expectations, etc. This year, however, we changed it up a bit. The administrators have been pushing into 9th grade World History courses and running circles with students. This allows a much more personal connection with our 9th grades; something that is important to all of us! Check out a few pictures below.

Hi, I’m Kelsey Onder and I will be teaching Math at PHS. I received my Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Michigan State University and completed my student teaching at East Middle School in Farmington, MI. After student teaching, I moved to New York City and began working at a middle/high school in The Bronx. I spent the last four years there and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to serve as an instructional coach for the department. Although it was hard to say goodbye to the amazing students and staff, I am excited for all the new opportunities Plymouth High School will provide. 

This summer I took classes to become a PADI open water diver so a personal goal of mine is to complete the open water certification dives so that I can be PADI certified and enjoy scuba diving for many years to come. Being new to PHS this year, a professional goal of mine is to build relationships with my colleagues so that I can create a support group of individuals who push me to grow as an educator and challenge me to think about new ideas from a variety of perspectives.

I recently moved back to Michigan from New York City because of my fiancé, Nick, starting as an orthopedic surgical resident at The Detroit Medical Center. We are excited to be back near our parents, who live in Novi, and my brother and sister-in-law who also live nearby. I am especially excited to be working with my sister-in-law, Chelsea, this year! In my spare time, I love to hang out with my family and friends outdoors. During the warmer months I love to spend time on Torch Lake and in the winter I enjoy snowboarding up north. I also enjoy cooking, reading mysteries and memoirs, and trying out new fitness classes.

Five words to describe my classroom would be:Teamwork, Investigation, Supportive, Creative, Goofy

Did you know that one can never review morning drop off procedures enough? Even though we are experiencing July temperatures, the amount of daylight continues to decrease each day so it seems like a good time to review drop off procedures.

• Please pull all the way around the drop off circle. P-CEP students walk a lot. Trust me, they will be fine if they have to walk a little further to the front door. Not pulling all the way forward in the loop, and stopping at the front entrance, makes for a much slower moving morning drop off. Again, please pull all the way around the loop and students can get out as soon as you are at a sidewalk. 
• Students must be dropped off at the curb. For the safety of our students, you must drop students off at the curb. Do not ever double park and let students cross in front of another car to enter the building. 
• Staff Lot: For the safety of our staff, please do not use the staff lot as a student drop off. 

Did you know absences need to be called in to the attendance office by the day following an absence? Please see the language below, which was cut and pasted out of our K-12 Student Handbook. High School: Parents/guardians must notify the student’s home school on the day a student is absent or by 7:00 a.m. the following day. Parents may call the Attendance Office between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. or call the recorded answering service between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. The Automated Parent Notification System (APNS) will notify parents daily if students have an absence or tardy which is unexcused as of 2:00 p.m. on that day. Calling into the Attendance Office is the only way to excuse an absence. Students may be assigned detention(s) for unexcused absences. The number to the Plymouth Attendance office is 734-582-5545

Did you know that we have a P-CEP Career Center located in Canton High School? Check out some of the scheduled visits HERE

Did you know that there is an upcoming Community Town Hall Meeting to inform on the heroin and opioid prescription epidemic? The town hall meeting will take place on Wednesday, October 4th, from 6-8 pm, and will provide information that is beneficial regarding the heroin and opioid prescription epidemic. Please see this FLYER for additional information.

Happy Wednesday!

Hello, my name is Steve Rooney I am teaching chemistry. I have taught chemistry at the high school level for 12 years , and at the community college level for 5 years. I earned my degrees from the University of Illinois @ Chicago, and I am currently working on a PhD at Wayne State.

I recently picked up a motorcycle hat is in somewhat disrepair, my goal is to get it running during winter, and then go on a road trip over the summer. Professionally I would like to work towards becoming a Google Educator this year.

I have been married to Deb for 15 years , and we have two daughters Emily (14) and Abigail (11). Spare time... What is that? I am constantly working on remodeling projects around the house, recently finished a pergola and am currently working on a master bath/walk in closet. When not constructing/making/mending things, I like to lie in my hammock reading a book.

I have just started Ignition by John Clark,. The book is about the development of rocket fuels, good solid facts, but most importantly quite funny.

Did you know that there are many opportunities to volunteer at P-CEP?  Parents can volunteer to help in the book room, lunch, clothing bank, library, school office, senior breakfast, senior party, school committees, etc. If you are able to help out and donate some of your time, please fill out this brief  FORM indicating the specific area you would like to volunteer.

Thank you!

Thank you to all who were able to come out for last week's Open House! The classes were short, but hopefully it allowed you an opportunity to tour the school(s), meet your son or daughter's teachers, and walk away knowing more about class expectations.

I'd like to take an opportunity to re-emphasize the importance of student attendance. If students aren't in class, then they can't learn! You may have noticed teachers promoting the automatic email notification in MiStar Parent Portal at Open House. This is a great way for parents to be informed of their child's daily attendance. You can click on the link to the right (web version) to sign up. Beginning this Wednesday, students who are late to class will be assigned a lunch detention on Friday. Teachers know to issue a late pass if students stay after class to speak with them. Please help us to communicate to your children how important it is that they are present and on time for class.

My name is Erica Powell. I am new to Plymouth and the social studies department this year. I completed my bachelor's at Michigan State. I majored in History and minored in Psychology. I aim to create an open and accepting classroom that supports high tech and collaborative learning.

I value time with my family. My husband and I spend many weekends at his family cabin in Tawas. We have two nephews that we love spending time with. We adopted our first dog last year and she is very spoiled. I enjoy gardening and I grow sunflowers and harvest their seeds every year.
