Each year, schools and childcare centers across Colorado are required to send parents and guardians a letter with links to information about immunizations and details about: 

Schools lend a helping hand to those in need

Leading up to winter break, schools throughout PSD have unique ways to give back and extend a helping hand to the community in need with Adopt-A-Family programs, Giving Trees, food drives, winter clothes donations and more.  

Poudre School District is proud to announce the new principals for Fossil Ridge High School and Poudre Community Academy.

All Poudre School District schools will participate in Lockdown Drill Week between Nov. 13 and 17 as part of the district’s ongoing safety and security efforts. PSD follows national best practices so that drills are conducted in a manner that’s age appropriate and considers the impact of trauma.  

As part of an annual tradition, several Poudre School District schools participated in the 37th Colorado State University C.A.N.S. Around The Oval, one of the largest fund and food drives in Northern Colorado.

As summer settles into the crisp, cool days of fall, the school garden at Poudre Global Academy continues to flourish, with visits from buzzing bees, butterflies floating through the air, and the occasional bunny hiding between the potting soil bags. 

Fourteen Poudre School District schools have been selected for Governor’s Distinguished Improvement awards or John Irwin Schools of Excellence awards for their achievements in the 2021-22 school year. One PSD elementary school was recognized with both.

The Colorado Department of Education recently honored schools and districts across the state that won 2022 performance awards for outstanding academic student growth and/or achievement.

Getting fresh crayons, glue sticks and notebooks add to the excitement and anticipation a new school year brings. To ensure all kids experience that and are ready to learn, PSD and community partners are working together to provide brand-new school supplies for students in need. 

Every Wednesday morning between spring and summer breaks, the music room at Laurel Elementary School transforms into a dance studio. 

A group of 14 first-graders are the first to trickle into the room for a 45-minute specials class, some bursting with giggles and wiggles, others more reserved. Jessica Loveall, the school psychologist and former professional dancer who developed this class, turns on gentle, wordless music and leads students through a series of movements back and forth across the room.  

Poudre School District is proud to share with you the names of five outstanding individuals who will serve as the new principals of Beattie Elementary School, Laurel Elementary School, Lincoln Middle School, O’Dea Elementary School, and Polaris Expeditionary Learning School starting in 2023-24.  

The new principals at Beattie, Laurel, and Polaris will fill a role left by a retiring principal. The principal of Lincoln is making his interim role permanent, and the principal of O’Dea is taking an education dream job outside of the country.
