Dear Poudre School District families,

The Poudre School District has made the decision to change this Friday, August 22, from a two-hour release due to heat to a full normal day given forecasted weather conditions. This does NOT apply to Wednesday, August 20 or Thursday, August 21, which will still be two-hour early release days. Please refer to the message that was sent on August 15 for additional information about early release days. 

Dear PSD Community,

Due to forecasted high temperatures in the area, most Poudre School District schools will be dismissing students two hours early from Monday, Aug. 18 through Thursday, Aug. 21. 

We will re-evaluate the forecast on Wednesday, Aug. 20 to see if there are any potential changes in the forecast. If forecasted temperatures decline below 90 degrees, all schools will operate on a normal schedule. The district will communicate as soon as possible on Wednesday if the forecast is changing for the remainder of the week. 

Dear Poudre School District community,

What a wonderful first day of school! Today, I had the privilege of visiting several campuses and was inspired by the excitement – from students eager to learn, to families celebrating new beginnings, to our incredible staff welcoming everyone to classrooms across the district. The energy across our schools was inspiring. 

To capture the spirit of the day, we’ve put together a short video with highlights, and I invite you to watch and share in the joy of this new school year:

Poudre School District is already out of this world when it comes to education, but one of our wonderful high schools has taken that phrase to new heights.
