Putnam City Staff and Families,
Due to recent state legislation affecting instructional day and time requirements, we want to share an important update with you as early as possible about how our District will handle school closures caused by inclement weather this school year. The changes below are updated on the published district calendars on our website.
If school must be canceled due to inclement weather, missed instructional days will be made up according to the schedule below, in order:
Closure | Plan |
1st Closure | No make-up day needed. Support employees (180 days or less) will have the option to use the day for professional development. |
2nd Closure | Students and employees report February 12 |
3rd Closure | Students and employees report April 16 |
4th Closure | Students and employees report May 21; Teacher workday moves to May 24 |
5th Closure | Students and employees report May 24; Teacher workday moves to May 25 |
6th Closure | Students and employees report May 25; Teacher workday moves to May 26 |
7th Closure | Students and employees report May 26; Teacher workday moves to May 27 |
8th Closure | Students and employees report May 27; Teacher workday moves to May 28 |
Please note: If a scheduled make-up date has already passed by the time a closure occurs, the make-up day will default to the next available date in the rotation plan. 236 and 258 contract support employees need to follow the PCESP Negotiated Agreement for 2026-2027 for inclement weather.
As a reminder, start and end times are not changing for the regular school day.
We understand that adjustments like these can affect family plans, and we’re committed to communicating any updates as early as possible. If a weather closure occurs, families and staff will be notified of which make-up date applies through our standard communication methods (website, email, phone/text, district app, social media).
Thank you for your support and understanding as we work to meet these additional requirements while minimizing disruption to your family’s schedule.
We are excited for a new school year starting soon, but until then, please enjoy the rest of your summer!
Go Boldly,
-Putnam City Schools
