Poudre School District is applying for the Title VI Formula Grant for the first time. If awarded, funding would support the 2025-26 school year.

Highlights of the Feb. 13 PSD Now edition:

Last year, Jack Taylor’s classmates at Preston Middle School used to stand in a circle between classes, heads down, and text each other. This year, with cell phones tucked away from the first bell until dismissal, more conversations are happening face-to-face. 

“I feel like kids are more interactive in class and raise their hands more. Last year, they would just stare at their phones,” Taylor said. 

All PSD non-charter school buildings will have a 2-hour delay on Thursday, Feb. 13, due to forecasted weather conditions. Remote learning will NOT take place. Lunch service will still take place, and schools will dismiss at the regular time, unless you are otherwise notified.  

Dear Poudre School District Community, 

Poudre School District (PSD) remains unwavering in our commitment to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for every student, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, immigration status, or any other protected identity.
