Class scheduling for the 2024-2025 school year begins this week. Students will need their Chromebooks during English classes so class requests can be made through PowerSchool. Students and parents will be granted access to make these requests beginning tomorrow for current juniors, Wednesday for sophomores, and Thursday for freshmen. The deadline to submit course requests will be Friday, April 5th.
North Putnam is excited to be able to offer the Indiana College Core to its students who complete a specified pathway of study. The Indiana College Core ensures that your 30 hours of dual credit work transfer from NPHS to public colleges and universities within Indiana. Students who are planning on attending college after high school should speak with the student services department to see what classes they have completed or need to complete in order to earn the 30 hours of dual credit at NPHS. Students who complete the Indiana College Core begin most universities as a second year student; which may greatly reduce the amount of time and money spent on a college campus, or provide the student with additional benefits such as early registration for classes. Fore more information about the Indiana College Core you can visit this website.
North Putnam has some wonderful travel opportunities available for students and parents. There will be meetings on April 3, 2024 to highlight some of these awesome opportunities. We ask that you RSVP for the meeting you would like to attend so that the presenters can prepare, and know who will be attending!

Information will be released soon regarding Summer School opportunities for Summer 2024. Please note, state summer school funding has decreased over the past several years, our primary objective with Summer School 2024 is credit recovery and meeting diploma goals. A select number of courses will be available for students to take during this summer at NPCSC expense. Students/families always have the opportunity to pursue additional opportunities outside of what NPCSC offers; however, many times this is at the expense of the student or family. In most cases NPHS would accept these transfer credits. If you have any questions regarding these opportunities and how they may impact your student, please do not hesitate to contact our student services department.
It is our goal to help each student develop a plan for after graduation. We like to recognize and honor each student's post-secondary goals regardless of what they are. It is our intention to honor and recognize each student for having a plan for what their life looks like after graduation. If you have a senior student, we encourage you to have these conversations with your student. We know this is stressful for young adults, and we have a team of support for them to help them in their quest to make these plans. Please let us know how we can help your student. We also like to recognize these decisions by taking their picture and posting them in our school and on our school social media platforms. If you have a senior who has a plan and would like to be included, please contact Mr. Chew about this recognition. We want every student to have plans for either enrollment, enlistment, or employment directly after graduation.
At the most recent meeting of the Board of School Trustees, the Back to School Plan was revised as it relates to students who contract COVID. The current policy mimics the procedure of when a student or employee contracts the flu. Your child should stay home with the following symptoms:
- A fever
- Cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing
- Diarrhea/Nausea
- Fatigue; muscles ache; headaches
- Sore throat, congestion, runny nose
- Loss of taste or smell
