Orientation at East Middle School

Typically at this time of year, Plymouth-Canton Community Schools fifth grade students would be touring middle school buildings in anticipation of moving up in the fall. Since visiting schools isn’t possible because of the quarantine, the East Middle School counselors did the next best thing. Understanding that transitioning to a new school might feel especially intimidating for many students right now, they decided to take incoming families on a virtual tour of their school.
