🌾 One of Putnam County’s favorite traditions is almost here! 🎨🎶
The 76th Annual Putnam County Fair (March 20–28, 2026) is a great time to see the talents of our PCSD students on full display. From FFA and 4-H livestock projects to student artwork, performances, and exhibits, our students showcase months of hard work, creativity, and dedication for the entire community to enjoy.
These experiences are more than competitions or displays, they are opportunities for students to develop responsibility, leadership, creativity, and real-world skills.

This only affects a small number of routes serving students who live in areas requiring their buses to cross the bridge. Families of affected students should be aware that buses may arrive later than their normal afternoon drop-off time today. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to monitor the situation and work to ensure students arrive home safely.
