Poudre School District's Calendar Committee is seeking the PSD community's input on future school year calendars. There are many considerations that inform the development of a balanced school year calendar and we strive to create calendars that take into account the interests of our students, families, and staff.
Congratulations to the following staff on their amazing accomplishments!
The PSD Board of Education and superintendent invite members of the community to participate in an upcoming community engagement session from 6 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 21, in the media center at Webber Middle School, 4201 Seneca St., Fort Collins. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and talk with Board of Education directors and the superintendent.
Space is limited at the event. In order to facilitate dialogue and allow for active participation by those in the room, a maximum of 20 seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Beginning Sept. 8, applications for speakers will be accepted for TEDxMountain Ave’s annual event next spring. Students, staff and community members interested in sharing their ideas around the theme "Flourish" are encouraged to apply.
On the first day of school, I stopped by Mrs. Saunders’ art class at Laurel Elementary to wish everyone a happy new year. Standing at the front of the room in a navy suit, I heard something unexpected: “Did you just come from church?” That thoughtful and laugh-provoking question was from Martin, a second grader, who minutes later asked if my jacket was from Macy’s, happily put the jacket on, and took a photo with me.
Cooler temperatures the past couple of days may have provided some relief, but there are still warmer days ahead.
There’s no other way to say it: It is hot in schools. Please know that we hear you. We empathize with you, and we’re doing everything we can to address the heat. Unfortunately, there is no quick or inexpensive fix.
This update has information about what PSD is doing about the heat now; a forthcoming school year calendar survey; and an air conditioning feasibility study.
Enjoy this quick recap of the first week back at school.
Dear Poudre School District community,
We exist in PSD for our students. We are one district, one team with one plan, wanting the best opportunities, experiences and success possible for all students.
