Attendance Matters: FTE Week is October 6–10!
Every student counts–literally! During FTE Week, the state of Florida calculates school funding based on student attendance. If a student is absent, they are not included in the count, and our schools lose vital funding for teachers, programs, and services.
Make sure your child is in school every day October 6–10! Together, we can give PCSD students the resources they need to succeed.

We had an amazing couple of days at Robert H. Jenkins, Jr. Elementary School. It was such a joy to see so many dads, uncles, older brothers, grandfathers or other father figures today and yesterday eating breakfast with the students. We shared some tips and reminders of how important it is to just SHOW UP. You don't have to do everything perfect; they only want you to be there. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to partner with us to support OUR KIDS. We hope the QR Code we gave you with resources is invaluable. You can also find resources to help your child at https://www.putnamschools.org.

This organization participates in extracurricular events as well as raising funds for student and staff incentives, school needs not covered under general budget and a willingness to be a positive voice for our school. Please let us know if you are interested in being a part of our RAM Family.

We are looking for sponsors to help our newly restored PTO host a Fall Festival for our students and families. This is a rather large undertaking so there are many ways you can help us. Please reach out to the school if you would like to sponsor a booth or donate things we will need. Also, we are looking for parent help to run a booth. Thank you all so much for letting us partner with you to bring fun and laughter for your children as well as promote their academic success.
