Reminder: Today is the 3 hour early dismissal. School will let out at 11:45.
If you pick up your child and use Henson Road as a waiting point, please ensure you are pulled over far enough for the residents on that road to get through. They would appreciate the consideration.
We have made it 70% of the way to our school goal! This weekend will be the last couple of days to raise money for the Kids Heart Challenge!
The class with the highest amount raised will receive some playground equipment. The student in each class who raises the most money will get to be PE teacher for the day next week!
ROC Watch – Visitor Management System for Schools
Putnam County Schools has partnered with Rank One Computing (ROC.ai), a United States-based company and world leader in biometric face recognition and computer vision solutions, to introduce a Safer Schools Initiative, ROC Watch. The added layer of school safety and security at each of our schools in Putnam County will provide enhanced security via real-time monitoring of visitors entering schools.
You will receive a secure link via text message on your mobile phone in the next 48 hours to enroll in the visitor management system. The visitor management system allows Putnam County Schools to deter building access of all unauthorized individuals, including the ability to revoke access for legally restricted persons, former staff, expelled students, and child sex offenders.
Please use the link below to learn about ROC Watch and detailed steps outlining the enrollment process. It is a simple three step process.
