ATTENTION MLC Familes-
If you see this blue light flashing, do not attempt to enter the school. This light is another safety measure that was put into place to notify everyone that there is a lock-down in progress. This light will flash during both a lock-down drill and a real lock down event. We have several of them located throughout the school including at the front of the school.
We would like to welcome students who wish to gather in remembrance of Robert Gillon to the PJSHS Gym this afternoon at 5:00PM.

We are excited to welcome our students back August 12th for the 2024-25 school year! Please make sure your child's vaccines and physical examinations are up to date. Vaccinations can be obtained at your personal physician or the county health department. If your child requires prescription medication or a treatment during school hours, a current signed physician order is required. All over-the-counter medications require a signed parent consent form. Please visit the district's health services page for more information. For questions, call your child's school or the District at 386-329-0538. Thank you! https://www.putnamschools.org/page/health-services

If you see a BLUE LIGHT flashing at one of our schools, do not enter. It is an additional safety measure to notify people arriving on the campus that there is a lock-down in progress, either a drill or a real event. They are posted in several locations around the school so people will know to avoid campus.
