Putnam Valley Middle School is the home of over 600 students in grades 5 through 8. We take pride in the fact that we help transition students from their elementary setting and prepare them to be successful in high school, truly being "in the middle." Our dedicated and caring staff functions in a team setting utilizing a modified flexible block schedule. In addition to our Core programs of English Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies all students are enrolled in our Encore program. Encores include Foreign Languages, Health, Art, Computers, Band, Chorus, General Music, Physical Education and Technology.

We offer a full array of clubs and activities both before and after school hours. We also have an active intramural and modified sports program.

The Middle School is involved in what is called a 1 to 1 Laptop program. Specifically, the program allows for every 6th, 7th, and 8th grader this year to have a laptop computer and to be able to bring it home to complete homework assignments and projects.
