This message is for all Putnam County School District staff and families:
Due to the increased speed of the incoming storm, local emergency operations and district officials have made the decision to dismiss students one hour early today, Wednesday, November 9th. Please prepare to pick your child up from school or be at the bus stop one hour early. Please know students who are in 3rd grade or lower will not be released at the bus stop without a parent or guardian present. Those students will be returned to their school for supervision until someone can pick them up. We recognize this may be burdensome for many families, and appreciate your cooperation as we are working to staff and open shelters for our community members.
Thank you and stay safe!

Prior to students entering campus at James A. Long Elementary School this morning, school administrators were notified that a student on a bus at the school appeared to have a weapon. The weapon was identified as an Airsoft gun, and it was not used in a threatening manner.
Out of an abundance of caution, the school was placed on lockdown while the incident was managed. The lockdown was lifted prior to students entering campus at 7:20am, and the start of school was not delayed.
The incident is currently under investigation from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office and PCSD administrators.
