Turkey Round Up is Nov. 16!
The "Tour de Turkey" will be held Thursday, Nov. 16, at participating Poudre School District schools. Donate frozen turkeys, hams and chickens, along with other food items, to help everyone in Larimer County have a holiday meal. Donations go to the Food Bank of Larimer County, which distributes holiday food baskets to those in need. Check with your school to determine when donations are being accepted!
Youth Homeless Awareness in November
Currently, Poudre School District has identified 7% more students experiencing some form of homelessness or housing insecurity as compared to the same time last year. The student and family needs within this program continue to grow as well, and due to historical trends, it's anticipated that McKinney numbers will increase by 10% this school year.
By the end of the 2022-23 school year, PSD identified 1,438 students K through 12th-grade, or almost 5% of our student population, who qualified for McKinney-Vento services. Learn how you can help >>

Join the BOE Student Advisory Council
Students who would like to share their experiences and ideas with the Poudre School District Board of Education in the 2023-24 school year should consider applying for the Student Advisory Council (StAC).
The council will meet monthly to share what is going on in schools and offer insight on the student experience.
Participants will have the opportunity to share thoughts on topics at the district level that the board is considering (“big picture” items such as mental health and belonging, syllabus input, student-district communication improvements, etc.). A subset of council members will occasionally present at board meetings.
All students interested in being a part of the StAC are invited to complete this form. Additional questions can be sent to board directors Kristen Draper at kdraper@psdschools.org or Jessica Zamora at jzamora@psdschools.org.
