Dear P-CCS Students and Families,
Welcome to the 2026–27 school year! I hope your summer has been filled with time to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories with family and friends. Our teachers, support staff, and administrators have been hard at work preparing for another exciting year, and we are thrilled to welcome our students back to school.
Each new school year brings fresh opportunities to learn, prepare, and thrive. Across Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, our students continue to excel in academics, athletics, the arts, and extracurricular activities, thanks to the dedication of our outstanding staff and the unwavering support of our families and community. We look forward to building on that tradition of excellence throughout the year ahead.
This summer, work continued across the district to enhance our schools through projects made possible by the 2020 Bond program. These improvements help create safe, engaging, and innovative learning environments that support student success. We're also excited to welcome many new teachers and staff members to the P-CCS family, bringing fresh ideas and energy to our classrooms and schools.
As we begin the school year, we invite you to explore the new P-CCS dashboard on our website, where you can find easy-to-access information about district performance, finances, student achievement, and other key metrics that help tell the story of our schools.
The beginning of a new school year is always filled with optimism and possibility. I look forward to seeing our students learning in classrooms, performing on stage, competing on the field, and discovering new passions throughout the year. Thank you for your continued partnership and for entrusting us with your children's education. Together, we will make the 2026–27 school year another exceptional one.
Yours in Learning,
Dr. Monica L. Merritt
Superintendent
