Athletic News! Winter Athletic Ticket Prices/Student Admission: The winter sports season is upon us as all of our Big Red winter teams will be opening up their seasons over the next couple of weeks. There are a few significant changes to ticket prices and student admission for the winter sports season that we would like to announce. There will now be a $6 student ticket price at the gate for all Fireland's conference HS sporting events. The adult ticket price will remain the same at $7. Admission prices for MS games will remain the same at $5 for adults and $3 for students. New for this winter sports season... We will be admitting all Plymouth-Shiloh students in for FREE at all home regular season athletic events. K-4 elementary students will need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian in order to gain admission to the game. We would love to see more of our students at all levels come and support our athletes and be a part of our game day atmosphere. Students attending games will be expected to remain in the gym at all times and be seated watching the games with the exception of going to the concession stand. Poor sportsmanship and fan behavior amongst our students will not be tolerated and will cause students to lose the privilege of free admission. This will be for this winter season only and will be for home games only. We will still offer the $4 student pre-sale ticket for all conference away games. GO BIG RED!

Elementary News! The Elementary PTO came with snow cones for Mrs. Stine’s PK students, Mr. Garrett’s 3rd graders and Miss Johnson’s 3rd graders yesterday.  This was the last part of the PTO Change Drive reward from October. Thank you again to everyone that supported the Change Drive for the PTO. 🤩

PHS News! (This is ONLY for the Junior Class of 2026/Parents.) State-Funded ACT Letter - Class of 2026 Dear Parents/Guardians of the Class of 2026: Each year Ohio offers a state-funded ACT for Juniors. However, beginning this year for the Class of 2026, a parent or guardian can exercise the option for their student not to take the state-funded ACT as indicated in House Bill 82, which was introduced to provide more flexibility to parents and students in their academic choices. Families who decide NOT to have their student participate in the ACT testing in February 2025 please know: ● The ACT provides valuable information for post-secondary planning and is used by many colleges and universities for admissions. ● The ACT fees range from $63 to $88, depending on the test options. If a student opts out of the state-funded test in February 2025 and decides to take it later, the family will be responsible for covering the costs of any future ACT test. **Please return the form to Plymouth High School by Wednesday, December 4th or complete the Google Form emailed to you no later than December 4th. If you have any questions please call Mrs. Green, 419-687-8200 ext. 22125. https://forms.gle/wVvmTvmYyNGK67Lx7
