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.

I just finished the book Finding Gobi by Dion Leonard. It is a must read for any dog lover!

1) EEF Grant Opportunity: EEF is the Educational Excellence Foundation serving Plymouth-Canton Community Schools.

2) Test days for classes on B lunch: If your class has B lunch and you are moving them for a test day, please have the students take A lunch. C lunch is already over crowded. Thank you!

3) Teachers' key card access: All teachers have programmed access from 5 a.m. - 7 p.m on your key card. If you need weekend access, please make a request 1-2 days in advance. to Diane Robertson.

4) Testing Center: The testing center has moved to room 719. As a reminder, the testing center is funded by special education and intended for use by students who have an IEP with an accommodation to provide an alternate testing environment or to have their test read to them. Since there is space in the room, students with a 504 testing accommodation or students who we have implemented this accommodation for RTI are also allowed to use the room. The room is NOT intended for general education test make-up. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
