In Poudre School District, all schools offer strong academic and social opportunities for students. At our neighborhood schools, your child will live near and go to class with their classmates, building a tightknit community together over time.  

If your family is looking for a specific program or curriculum to best meet your child’s educational needs that isn’t available at your neighborhood school, however, PSD’s K-12 school choice program might be for you. 

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.  

It was the perfect weather for River Week. Along the Cache la Poudre River, the trees began to change colors from green to a soft golden, and a crisp, endless blue sky stretched out above without a single cloud. On one of the days, a bald eagle even sat observing from the trees as students worked on their assignments. 

Each year, student ambassadors and peers from high schools districtwide come together for the Peer Summit, a day of training, fellowship and fun. 

In his latest video message, Superintendent Brian Kingsley provides an update on educational program changes, school consolidations, and boundary modifications that are necessary due to the significant challenges facing our community and Poudre School District. Many people are wondering what will happen next in this process, and we are committed to providing more clarity and reassurance as details become available.

Dear Poudre School District community,   

Everyone belongs in Poudre School District. It is our commitment to create spaces of connection and belonging in our schools where people care about one another and provide comfort to those who need it. Wherever they go in PSD, students and adults alike should feel safe and able to show up as the unique and valued people that they are. 

The City of Fort Collins, Poudre River Public Library District, and Poudre School District (PSD) are proud to announce a commitment among the three organizations to open a new community innovation center in southeast Fort Collins.

The southeast community innovation center, which was promised to the voters in 2015, will feature a state-of-the-art public library, multi-use spaces, as well as recreation and aquatics facilities. The center will be built on the 10 acres of land that PSD owns adjacent to Fossil Ridge High School.
