Due to the more than 800 students enrolled at Plymouth Creek this year, we are asking that parents make a change when picking up their students from school. Please wait outside of the building instead of the front lobby for your child. We appreciate your cooperation.
This year, students will not be allowed to ride a different bus home for a play date due to overcrowding. The only acceptable reason for a different bus will be childcare.
