My name is Jackie Reynolds. I am the Family Engagement Coordinator for Putnam County Schools. You may reach me by email at jreynolds3@pcsstn.com or by phone at (931) 881-8848. Welcome to Putnam County Schools! We value YOU as the parent. whether you are a guardian, grandparent, step-parent, or even great-grandparent. As you know YOU are your child's first teacher. We want to work with you to help your child be the best they can be. Putnam County has a district Family Engagement Plan that you can view in English or in Spanish.

The Tennessee Department of Education and Trevecca University announced a new resource, Bridging the Distance: Family Remote Learning, which is specially designed to help families navigate remote learning and better understand the common tools and programs used by educators. This completely free resource features “Remote Learning 101” modules that will help families learn the same tools our educators use for remote instruction. These short, accessible videos from experts will help families understand common remote learning tools and equips them to speak the same “tech” language as the teacher, so they will be better able to support their child’s learning. Families can access these resources at: https://remotefamilylearning.com/. Every school in Putnam County also has a Family Engagement Plan/Policy that you can view on the school's website or a hard copy is available in each school.
