During her first teaching assignment Amanda Kreiger realized that a career in education was the right path for her. 

“I enjoyed interacting with students and hearing their thoughts and ideas. I watched students have that “ah ha” moment during class discussions, and I was hooked,” she said.

Kreiger joined the Poudre School District team in July as the new director of the Curriculum and Instruction Department. In her role, she hopes to blend her love of learning into her work and foster an environment where all perspectives are welcome. 

Highlights of this special Aug. 5 back-to-school edition of PSD Now:

This summer Poudre School District staff have several projects happening at schools and sites across the district. Some schools and district buildings may be closed or offer limited access while work is being done. Most projects are expected to be completed by late August. 

Projects at schools include renovations like door, floor, and roof replacements, shade structure installations and/or maintenance, outdoor playground, field and tennis courts maintenance and more.
