Safety and Security at Putnam County R-I Schools

At Putnam County R-I Schools, the safety of our students, staff, and visitors is the foundation of everything we do. Aligned with our Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP), we prioritize creating a safe and secure environment that fosters learning and growth.

Our proactive safety measures include ongoing collaboration with local law enforcement, regular emergency preparedness drills, facility upgrades to enhance security, and comprehensive staff training. We also focus on promoting a culture of care and vigilance, ensuring that every student feels supported and valued.

Safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a commitment we uphold every day to protect our school community and ensure a bright future for all.

 

  • For the safety of our students and staff, all building visitors must show valid identification prior to entering the building. Valid IDs are non-expired and state-issued with a photo. Our office team will create a sticker visitors should wear for the duration of their time in the building. If visitors are checking students out, our software will match with our student information system to ensure that an individual is permitted to check out that student.

     

  • At Putnam County R-I Schools, the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain a top priority. We are proud to collaborate closely with our local law enforcement agencies to maintain a safe and secure learning environment across all our campuses.

    You may notice law enforcement officers on-site frequently, but there’s no need to be alarmed. Their presence is often related to important activities such as safety and security meetings, serving as guest speakers, supporting school events, or building strong relationships with our students and staff.

    This partnership ensures that we remain proactive in addressing safety concerns while fostering a positive connection between our students and the officers who serve our community. Together, we are committed to creating a secure and supportive environment for all.

  • The Putnam County R-I School District is committed to the safety and well-being of our students and staff. As part of that commitment, and compliance with the new Missouri State law, Get the Lead Out of School Drinking Water Act, PCR-I conducted its testing, which included sampling drinking and food preparation sources to ensure compliancy.

    The purpose of the law is to provide drinking water with a lead concentration level below five parts per billion (ppb) in sufficient amounts to meet all student and staff drinking water needs. The state law of five ppb level is below the EPA's National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead of 15 ppb in municipal drinking water systems. Further, any school that tests at greater than 5 ppb of lead concentrations shall provide results and remediation plans to parents and staff. 

     

    As testing and remediation work is completed in the Putnam County R-I School District, test results and remediation updates will be posted in this space prior to the state-mandated reporting date of August 2024.
