🌟 October is National Principals Month! 🌟

In Putnam County, our principals do more than manage schools — they inspire futures. They guide teachers, encourage students, partner with families, and bring communities together so learning can thrive. Their leadership makes a lasting impact on every classroom and every child.

This month, and every month, we celebrate our PCSD principals for leading with heart, vision, and dedication. Thank you for helping us shape tomorrow, today. 💙💚

Attendance Matters: FTE Week is October 6–10!

Every student counts–literally! During FTE Week, the state of Florida calculates school funding based on student attendance. If a student is absent, they are not included in the count, and our schools lose vital funding for teachers, programs, and services.

Make sure your child is in school every day October 6–10! Together, we can give PCSD students the resources they need to succeed.

We had an amazing couple of days at Robert H. Jenkins, Jr. Elementary School. It was such a joy to see so many dads, uncles, older brothers, grandfathers or other father figures today and yesterday eating breakfast with the students. We shared some tips and reminders of how important it is to just SHOW UP. You don't have to do everything perfect; they only want you to be there. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to partner with us to support OUR KIDS. We hope the QR Code we gave you with resources is invaluable. You can also find resources to help your child at https://www.putnamschools.org.
