Plympton Family Update

Dear Families,

We had a fantastic first three days! Students have been busy building classroom routines, making new friends, and settling into a positive rhythm. It’s been great to see so much excitement for learning and community. Thank you for your support in helping make the transition back to school smooth and successful—we are off to a great start! And next week we welcome our Kindergarten students!

Please mark your calendars for the 🍦 PTO Ice Cream Social scheduled for September 10, 2025 and 🍎 Back to School Night scheduled for October 9, 2025. Bookmark our homepage and also check out this resource!
