This honor reflects PCPS’s commitment to fostering a love of reading and building strong literacy foundations for our youngest learners. Way to go, PCPS—It Starts Here!!

Over the past two weeks, PCPS students took their learning beyond the classroom and into the heart of our community. Visits to the Eatonton Public Library, the Georgia Writers Museum, and the Plaza Arts Center allowed students to explore stories, history, and the arts through meaningful, real‑world experiences.
Each stop brought our ELA unit to life as students reflected on essential questions such as, “Why is the past important?” and “What can we learn from the past?” They were able to connect classroom instruction with the people, stories, and creativity that have helped shape our community.
We are also grateful to the Putnam County Recreation Department for allowing us to use their picnic area for lunch and for helping make this special experience possible. It was a wonderful reminder that learning truly happens everywhere!

Dr. Rogers introducing the new Principal for 26-27 Dr. Pearson. Welcome aboard.

Putnam County Charter School System is excited to announce Dr. Carletha Pearson as the new principal of Putnam County Primary School!
Dr. Pearson joins us after serving the past four years as a principal in Clark County Schools. She will step into the role at PCPS following the leadership of Dr. Fanicia Rogers, who has served as principal since 2018.
Yesterday, PCPS teachers and staff had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Pearson for the first time and beginning to welcome her into the PCPS family.
Although Dr. Pearson officially begins her tenure as principal on July 1, she will start transitioning into the role as early as next week, dedicating time to connect with staff members and learn more about the school community.
We are thrilled for the PCCSS community to experience her leadership, energy, and commitment to student success as we continue to inspire, innovate, and excel.

It’s Read Across America Week! 📚
To help kick off this special celebration, several members of our Central Office staff from the Board of Education visited Putnam County Primary School to read to our Head Start and Pre‑K classes. Our youngest learners loved listening to stories and sharing in the joy of reading!
Read Across America is a nationwide initiative that encourages children to discover the magic of books and develop a lifelong love of reading. Moments like these—where students hear stories read aloud, ask questions, and make connections—help build early literacy skills and spark imagination.
We are proud to support literacy from the very beginning and grateful to our staff for taking the time to make this week extra special for our students. 📖
