PCSD School Open, Close, and Early Release Times
2026-27 School Time Change Update
Putnam County School District has approved school opening and closing times for the 2026–2027 school year.
Most school start times will remain the same. A small number of schools will have adjusted start times as part of a districtwide effort to support safe and efficient transportation routes, provide consistent student pick-up and drop-off times, and help families plan ahead for the upcoming school year.
