1) Fall Activity Fair: Joining a club or activity at the start of the school year is a perfect way for students to meet friends who are interested in some of the same things. Our P-CEP Congresses are sponsoring a "Fall Activity Fair" during lunch in the bus loop tomorrow, September 12th, for students to check out many of the clubs/activities on campus. Please promote this event to your students. Click HERE for a list of clubs/activities.

2) New Vaping Ordinance in Canton: It is now illegal for a person under 18 years of age to possess or smoke vapor products or alternative nicotine products. An ordinance was passed in Canton Township this past summer (Article VIIII Sec. 46-506) that prohibits the possession or use in a public place by persons under 18. Students who are found in violation of the ordinance will be issued a school consequence and a misdemeanor ticket. We are communicating this via the website, announcements, newsletters, etc; however, please also communicate this to your students.

3) Infinite College Fair: P-CEP is hosting a free scholarship fair on Wednesday, October 10, 2018. Some colleges will be accepting students and notifying about scholarships on the spot. The fair runs from 4-8 pm. Students need to bring copies of transcrips, ACT/SAT scores, letters of recommendation, an essay titled "Why I want to go to college," and a resume. Here is a link to a flyer

4) Mandatory training: You should have received an email from P-CCS safeschools online training with a link to the training module. The website is
https://pccs-mi.safeschools.com/ and your district email is the username. All training is due by Oct. 31st.

5) Colored Paper: Please ease up on the colored paper use. I've been notified that we are going through our supply at an alarming rate. Thank you!
