We are asking that 1st Grade, 3rd Grade, and 6th Grade parents and students meet in the cafeteria at the designated times for a meeting and then the opportunity to get schedules and paperwork. This meeting is very important for parents to understand the requirements at these particular grade levels.

As we get ready to welcome students back on August 11th for the 2025–2026 school year, we encourage all families to prioritize student health and safety now. Please ensure your child’s required vaccinations and physical examinations are up to date before the first day of school. Vaccinations can be completed through your child’s healthcare provider or the Putnam County Health Department. If your student will need prescription medication or treatments during school hours, please provide a current, signed physician order. Over-the-counter medications require a signed parent consent form. For detailed health requirements and resources, visit our district Health Services page: https://www.putnamschools.org/page/health-services Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn!
