Summer brings joy for many students as they play outside, participate in camps and activities and travel to exciting places. For others, summer can be difficult, as daily interaction with peers, teachers, and counselors is paused. 

Poudre School District values mental health and belonging year-round, and provides information about mental health resources as a community service; making it publicly available does not constitute an endorsement of any business, organization, or resource. 

Did you know...

• that kids can get free meals this summer?
• that the student health centers have summer hours and are available for sports physicals?
• that the city offers a reduced fee program for activities for qualified families?
• that an updated community resource guide listing valuable family services is available? 

To help your summer go smoothly, we've compiled a list of services, resources and opportunities that you may find helpful. Enjoy your summer break!

When a child misbehaves, we often assume they are acting this way because they want to; however, it’s often because they haven’t learned the tools needed to process their feelings and manage their reactions. 

As parents and caretakers, we can support them in fostering healthy emotional regulation strategies. 

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This article is from Sarah Mowder-Wilkins, PSD mental health coordinator, and Liz Davis, PSD student services director.

Amy Russo-Segelhorst is on top of the world, breaking new ground in the community. 

Adopted at age 7, she was quiet and all smiles. She was also fascinated by the world of law enforcement as a child. 

Tayia Evans exudes a quiet, powerful energy. It's visible to those around her but, perhaps, not yet fully apparent to herself.  

Compliments and words of affirmation seem to take the 2023 Poudre Community Academy graduate by sincere surprise. Her humility acts almost as a shield against what the world sees: a strong, compassionate young woman who has overcome more by senior year than many do in a lifetime.  

This year's class has achieved!
