Prescott South Elementary School

What Prescott South Elementary School does

Prescott South Elementary School is a public K-4 elementary school located at 115 West Cemetery Road in Cookeville, Tennessee, operated as one of 21 schools within the Putnam County School System (PCSS), a government school district in the Upper Cumberland region. It serves children in Kindergarten through 4th grade residing in its district-assigned attendance zone, with families enrolling through the PCSS enrollment process. The school is led by Principal Dr. Catherine Jones and Assistant Principal Mrs. Sara Harvick, supported by a faculty and staff roster of 69 personnel per the school's directory.

The school's core technology stack consists of standard district-provided K-12 platforms rather than proprietary systems: Google Classroom for instruction, PowerSchool as the student information system with a parent portal, ClassLink for single sign-on, i-Ready for reading and math diagnostics, and ParentSquare as the unified communication platform with iOS and Android mobile apps supporting mass notifications, direct messaging with translation, and attendance alerts. Extended learning is delivered via LEAPS/21st CCLC before- and after-school programs, and the school implements Tennessee's 3rd Grade Retention Law under the state's Learning Loss Remediation and Student Acceleration Act.

The school operates a non-commercial revenue model: no tuition is charged to families. Funding flows through Tennessee state education allocations and Putnam County property taxes, channeled by PCSS. Ancillary revenue is minimal and consists of the federal school nutrition program (breakfast and lunch with free/reduced eligibility, managed via LINQ Connect) and community fundraising programs including Kroger Community Rewards, Food City School Bucks, and the Putnam Education Partnership Backpack Program. Distribution is purely via the district attendance zone, with no commercial go-to-market motion.
