Starting in the 2023-24 school year, students at all Poudre School District schools will check out of the cafeteria line with a quick tap of a finger. 

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. 

After 25 years of work in some of the nation’s largest school systems, I can confidently say that Poudre School District is one of the strongest in America. This is what our community expects, and our students deserve. And at a time when it may feel like it’s hard to find things people agree upon, I think having high expectations – of our school system and students – is something we can all get behind. 

The 2023-24 school year is almost here and schools are getting ready to welcome students back!

It’s never too early to start planning for a bright future. 

In Poudre School District, we foster the educational, social and emotional growth of kindergarteners in an environment that intertwines academics and enrichment activities.
