What brings a professor from Australia to Capps Middle School? 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. Putnam City Schools was honored to welcome Professor Wesley Imms from the University of Melbourne to Capps Middle School. His visit highlighted our role in a global study focused on how learning environments impact student success. The DLR Group, who designed Capps, joined him in exploring how thoughtful design can support teaching and learning. We’re proud to represent Putnam City in this international research effort and excited to share the insights ahead. 🦊 We even had a surprise visit from a fox and her baby enjoying the Capps campus. Wonder if that fox knows Capps is home of the Wildcats…

Congratulations to 𝗘𝗹𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝗹 𝗤𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗶, 7th grade science teacher at Capps Middle School, who was named 𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗔’𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 at this year’s conference! She was one of twelve Putnam City science educators who spent part of their summer at the Oklahoma Science Teaching Association Conference learning new strategies, trading ideas, and getting inspired for the year ahead. We’re so proud of Eloise and are grateful for the curiosity, energy, and passion our science team brings to their classrooms every single day! #GoBoldly #OSTA #PCProud

💙🎓 The Class of 2025 left their mark on Putnam City West, and now they’ve crossed the stage and stepped boldly into what comes next. Patriots: from your first day to your final walk, we’ve been cheering for you!

Good afternoon, West Families, Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our graduates, families, and staff, we have made the difficult decision to have our 2025 Commencement Ceremony inside the West Auditorium. Families will enter through the west entrance for bus pick up and proceed down Patriot Hall. Families will have two marked tickets that will be allowed to sit in the auditorium. Other guests will be allowed to sit in the Old Gym where the ceremony will be simulcast. The event will also be available for live-streaming here: https://www.youtube.com/live/B6WdtyafkP4?feature=shared We understand this is not optimal, but appreciate your flexibility as we adjust to ensure a safe event for everyone. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you tonight! - E. Smith, Principal
