Due to the natural gas shortage North Putnam Schools have been asked by our towns to close school this Thursday and Friday. e-Learning will occur on Thurs., Feb. 18 and school will be CLOSED for all students on Friday, Feb. 19. This day of school will be made up on April 2. Thank you for your understanding. We anticipate school returning to normal on Monday, Feb. 22. We will let you know if the situation changes.

It is with pleasure that we will be able to welcome ALL of our students back to in-person attendance each and every day of the week beginning Feb. 1! The State of Indiana updated the county color coded map at noon today and Putnam County has returned to 'orange' and is rated a 2.5 and can operate at the 'orange' advisory level. We appreciate the patience of all our families as we safely return to school on Monday next week. We had a high number of cases before break and this longer pause from full, in-person attendance has been successful with the graduated return to school through the hybrid model at the middle and high schools the last two weeks. This return to in-person attendance and less restrictions at extra-curricular events (25% capacity) does not mean that we do not need to continue to be cautious. Students will still need to wear masks and social distance while at school and on the school bus. And, please remember to keep your child at home if they or family member feel ill or is awaiting test results. We would rather be over cautious so that we can maintain in-person attendance throughout the remainder of the semester. Please remain healthy, Dr. Nicole L. Singer-Allee Superintendent

Area 30 students from North Putnam will be e-learning today, Monday January 25.

As we return to having more students in school, please know if your child is quarantined they will receive a letter with the date to return. If you have questions about when your child can return, you may call your principal or our school nurse.
