🗓 PCS Calendar Reminder: No School for Students Friday, September 19th
Tomorrow, Friday, September 19, 2025, will be a Professional Learning Day and Safety Training for PCS Staff. You can learn more about our Safety Training/Exercise below. ⬇️
📢 PCS to Conduct Safety Exercise in Collaboration with Local Law Enforcement and First Responders 📢
Putnam County Schools is partnering with local law enforcement to conduct a safety exercise on Friday, September 19, 2025, at an undisclosed school. This exercise is part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety and preparedness of our students, staff, and community.
The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) exercise will involve real-time response actions to help build preparedness by allowing schools and the school district to test and validate plans and policies, determine strengths, and identify areas for improvement. The SRP exercise has been designed in collaboration with law enforcement and first responders to help test coordinated responses and rapid problem-solving skills across the system. It will incorporate district and school employees, community first responders, and local law enforcement agencies.
It's important to note that this training exercise will not disrupt students or the surrounding community. The SRP exercise is a critical educational opportunity for our school staff to practice and refine emergency response procedures in collaboration with our safety partners. The exercise will not impact campus activities (i.e., athletic practices, localized traffic, etc.) and is anticipated to last two (2) to three (3) hours.
We sincerely appreciate the support and understanding of our community as we work to strengthen our mission to provide a safe and secure environment for students, staff, and our school communities. Thank you for your cooperation.
