Dear PSD Community,
We recognize that changes to bell times that were implemented for this school year have impacted many of you in different ways, and we want to thank you for sharing your feedback and experiences with us. We are committed to ensuring our decisions serve the best interests of students, staff, and families.
We recently provided the Poudre School District Board of Education with an update on our ongoing work to study bell schedules (see the video below).
During the update, the Board of Education charged staff with continuing to evaluate options for modifying bell schedules for the 2025-26 school year, with the primary objective of moving middle school start times later. It is important to note that any adjustments to start and end times at one school level will likely impact the start and end times at all school levels. The Board of Education also charged staff with evaluating options that are cost-neutral. District staff will use this feedback to continue exploring options and will bring an update to the Board of Education at their meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
Your voices matter, and we are dedicated to moving forward in a way that reflects the needs of our entire community. We will provide updates as this work progresses and continue to keep you informed.
Thank you again for your continued engagement and partnership.
Sincerely,
Poudre School District
