How do you get unstuck when you have writers' block? What is your advice for becoming an author? What are the hardest and best parts about being an author? These were the questions our remote 4th graders asked of author Ellen Potter during their conference call with her this morning! The award-winning novelist for children and young adults shared how she became an author, her history, and some tips for being a good writer. Thank you, Ellen! #PCR3Proud #MeaningfulExperiences Visit https://www.ellenpotter.com/ to learn more about the author.

REMINDER: Tomorrow, Wednesday, students will be released 2 hours early for Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Learn more here: www.plattecountyschooldistrict.com/strategic_plan/PLC

NEW YEAR, NEW LOOK: Yesterday, we began migrating our website (www.plattecountyschooldistrict.com) to an updated, refreshed version. Most structural elements remain the same (menu bar of pages and subpages, students/parents/staff sections, select-a-school drop down, and translation drop down), with some enhancements ("most visited" pages and important links become quick links under our banner images, social media icons for the District and every school are easily accessible [including our PCR-3 Activities YouTube channel], and latest headlines are featured on each homepage). We hope you'll enjoy improved navigation from the mobile views as well. Some pages are still being migrated, but please contact the communications department if you have any questions or to report any errors.

DID YOU HEAR? At their virtual competition in mid-December (their first of the year), our PCHS Dance Team came out on top in Hip Hop and placed 2nd in Pom! #HipHopandTheyDontStop #PCR3Proud
