The Dot is a 2003 children's picture book written and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. It illustrates the power of one single adult's actions to change a child's life. The book speaks to the importance of teacher-student relationships, and our connections as human beings. It shows how creative thinking on the part of a teacher can unlock a child's own creativity, confidence, and growth.

Today, our students at 21st Century participated in the International Dot Day as they unlocked their own creativity, promoting resiliency and inspiration to their peers. They created their own dot to share how we are all different, and we should be kind, encouraging, and respectful to one another.

As we get ready to welcome students back on August 11th for the 2025–2026 school year, we encourage all families to prioritize student health and safety now. Please ensure your child’s required vaccinations and physical examinations are up to date before the first day of school. Vaccinations can be completed through your child’s healthcare provider or the Putnam County Health Department. If your student will need prescription medication or treatments during school hours, please provide a current, signed physician order. Over-the-counter medications require a signed parent consent form. For detailed health requirements and resources, visit our district Health Services page: https://www.putnamschools.org/page/health-services Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn!
