PCCSS teachers, staff, and administrators gathered together for our annual Back-to-School Convocation, celebrating the start of another exciting school year. The event provided an opportunity to reconnect, reflect on our shared mission, and build momentum for the year ahead.
A highlight of the day was hearing from artist and motivational speaker Mr. Sam Glenn, whose inspiring message challenged us to maintain a positive attitude and be a source of light and encouragement, even in difficult circumstances. His creative and engaging presentation left us motivated and ready to make a difference in the lives of our students.
United in purpose and energized for the journey ahead, we are excited for an incredible year of inspiring, innovating, and excelling at PCCSS!

PCCSS' New Teacher Orientation is officially underway! On Wednesday, we welcomed both first-year teachers and experienced educators who are joining our district for a three-day orientation designed to connect, support, and introduce them to #ThePutnamWay. 🦅
Our goal is to ensure every new teacher feels a strong sense of community and has access to the resources and support needed to thrive in the classroom. We believe that when educators are empowered, they can make a lasting impact on the lives of students. Welcome HOME to all of our new teachers! We are excited to have you as part of the PCCSS family and look forward to an AMAZING school year ahead!
