Happy Monday!

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, 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.

Athletic/Activity Eligibility Check: Our first Athletic/Activity eligibility check of the school year is next Friday, October 6th. Please be sure that your grade books are accurate, up to date, and visible. It appears that there are grade books here and there that are either not set up yet or are not marked to be visible to students. Progress reports no longer get sent home, but parents are still notified and encouraged to login to MiStar and check their child’s grades at the mid-point of the quarter. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
