School Supply Information
As we get ready to welcome students back on August 11th for the 2025–2026 school year, we encourage all families to prioritize student health and safety now.
Please ensure your child’s required vaccinations and physical examinations are up to date before the first day of school. Vaccinations can be completed through your child’s healthcare provider or the Putnam County Health Department. If your student will need prescription medication or treatments during school hours, please provide a current, signed physician order. Over-the-counter medications require a signed parent consent form. For detailed health requirements and resources, visit our district Health Services page: https://www.putnamschools.org/page/health-services
Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn!

TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN SENIOR RECOGNITION 2025
Putnam County's Take Stock in Children program is excited to announce that TWENTY-ONE Putnam County School District seniors successfully completed our program and were honored at an event on April 18th at the Putnam County Fairgrounds. These Take Stock In Children scholars earned their scholarships by meeting regularly with a volunteer mentor, completing professional college coaching sessions, and participating in college readiness events. At the event, each student received a Take Stock In Children medallion to wear at graduation but most importantly they each received a 60-credit hour college rate tuition scholarship from the Florida PrePaid Foundation that covers the cost of tuition at a Florida college or technical school. Our seniors plan to attend the following post-secondary institutions: St. John's River State College, Daytona State College, Santa Fe College, University of North Florida, Valdosta State University, University of Florida, Beck Automotive Apprenticeships, and the United States Army. Take Stock in Children is proud to be able to provide these deserving students with a guaranteed pathway to post-secondary education! We would like to thank, Nathan Collins, Katrina Feola, Randy Hedstrom, Pamela Brown, Latina Hardy, Susannah Bender, Amanda Lamb, John Weeks, Michelle Mikel, Rebecca Motes, Wendy Letterman, Kristen Stout, and Yvette Jones for mentoring these students.

🧠 Do your best — you've got this!
Attendance matters! It’s very important that students show up on their scheduled testing days — makeup testing is limited and can impact class time.
