Big Green Room Open House
On Wednesday, October 15th at 6:00pm we are having an Open House for families in our 4s to learn about the Big Green Room. We encourage you to come and meet the teaching team, see the beautiful classroom, and learn about the rich literacy and math curriculum we have developed for our fives.
Often, the best choice for a child is to stay at Plymouth for another year. Our fives program is what I like to call “joyfully academic.” We balance rigorous academic skill building with plentiful opportunities to play in an open-ended manner. Children also gain important leadership skills in their role as our oldest students.
LGBTQ+ Families Connect: The Independent School Experience

Office Hours with Kate
Many of you met our psychological consultant Kate Wechsler when she spoke at Plymouth last week. Kate has worked with Plymouth for over 25 years and has helped many families tackle the conundrums of parenting. Plymouth will be hosting monthly office hours with Kate, which provide an opportunity for you to meet individually with her to talk about issues and concerns and get support. These meetings will be on Zoom.
Upcoming dates are November 14th, and December 12th. There are half-hour appointments available between 9:30am and 12:00pm. Please email pcsadmin@plymouthchurch.org to book an appointment.
