Good afternoon Central families, I wanted to let you know that we currently have an opportunity for someone that would like to be sub custodian. The hours would be 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm but since this is a sub position, we can be more flexible. Please spread the word and have he/she contact us. Very much appreciated. Todd Gowen, Principal

Good evening, Eagles:
This is Dr. Smith, Superintendent at South Putnam Community Schools. I have great news! Hendricks Power was able to quickly and efficiently replace the defective power transformer at the high school. We have verified that our systems are operational; therefore, we will return to normal school operations tomorrow, Friday, August 25th.
I want to thank and give a huge shout-out to the entire South Putnam family, parents, students, teachers, staff, administrators, and transportation department for proactively working together to make this unfortunate and unforeseen situation go as smoothly as possible. Everyone came together like the amazing Eagle family that we are. Thank you!
So, to reiterate, all South Putnam schools will be operating as normal tomorrow, Friday, August 25th.
Have a great evening, Eagles!


Good afternoon Eagles,
We had a Hendricks Power transformer go out this afternoon at the high school affecting power to the high school which also impacted our internet and phone systems. This is a heads-up that we will be dismissing early at 2:00 PM for Central Elementary and the Middle School/High School following regular dismissal procedures. Stand by for more communications as this is a developing situation. Students are safe, we are just taking precautions due to the heat. Thanks!

Central Elementary will have an early release at 2:00 due power outage. Please call this number for pick information 463-222-9483

Central Elementary / High School / Middle School will be releasing students at 2:00.

Hello Central Families,
Currently Central Elementary phones and internet are not working. They are working on the issues. We'll update everyone when there is additional information.
