Note: Read on for a deeper explanation about the development of the 2024-25 school year calendar that goes above and beyond the email sent from the district on Nov. 28.
The PSD Board of Education voted Tuesday to approve the district calendar for the 2024-25 school year. It mirrors that of the current school year calendar, with:
In the coming months, a new Facilities Planning Steering Committee will start the challenging and necessary work of evaluating the placement of educational programs, considering school and program consolidations and modifying school attendance areas. These changes will not go into effect any sooner than the 2025-26 school year.
Poudre School District is proud to announce the new principals for Fossil Ridge High School and Poudre Community Academy.
Poudre School District is pleased to announce that Emily Bickerton has been named the district’s new director of Human Resources.
Bickerton began her HR career in public education in 2016. She held different HR roles in Englewood Schools, Jeffco Public Schools, and at HRx, a small HR consulting company, before coming to PSD in 2022. She began her new position as director in July; she was previously the assistant director of HR.
Ensuring schools are safe places for all students and staff is a top priority for Poudre School District. In an effort to maintain safety and enhance security operations, PSD has hired law enforcement and school security veteran Frederick Smith to serve as its director of Safety and Security.
