Poudre School District is already out of this world when it comes to education, but one of our wonderful high schools has taken that phrase to new heights.
Poudre High School recently received one of several “Moon Trees,” the seedling of a Douglas-fir that traveled more than 268,000 miles from Earth before returning to the ‘pale blue dot.’
On Monday mornings at Poudre School District’s Bauder Elementary School, fourth- and fifth-grade students don’t just go to class; they choose it.
Through Encore Enrichment, students rotate through art, music, physical education and technology specials, but with more voice and choice involved than a traditional specials schedule.
Students from Bennett Elementary School gathered in front of laptops and projection screens shortly after 9 a.m. on March 7 for a long-awaited video call.
It was just after 7 p.m. on the other side of the call – and the other side of the world – at Mwebaza Annex School in Uganda. Delighted to see each other’s faces after months of anticipation, the friends joined in celebrating Mwebaza (pronounced mWHAY-bah-zah) Day – a time to share performances, ask questions, and bond across time zones.
We are pleased to share that Laura Sutton has been named the next principal of Shepardson STEM Elementary School, beginning with the 2025-26 school year. A dedicated educator with a passion for fostering academic growth and building strong, collaborative communities, Mrs. Sutton brings over two decades of experience and a deep commitment to Shepardson Elementary.
Dear PSD Families,
Yajaira Fuentes-Tauber, better known as “Dr. T” around Rocky Mountain High School, is one of just six teachers in the state and 311 in the U.S. to earn the nation’s highest honor for K-12 science and math educators in 2025.
For one night only, the fifth-grade classrooms at Poudre School District's Olander Elementary School transformed into theaters where young directors premiered their films to an audience of families and friends.
Students worked as a team to facilitate and operate their theater, which featured students' stories demonstrating how they stepped outside their comfort zones this fall during their Eco Experience at Colorado State University's Mountain Campus.
Autumn brings many traditions—holiday food drives, driving to see golden leaves and the unmistakable glow of stadium lights during a football game. All of these evoke a sense of community and excitement. As the high school football season ends this fall, we reflect on how the third annual Poudre School District Canvas Community Classic brought students, parents, and community members together for more than a football game.
With exclamations of “Can I touch this?” and “Let’s go here!” Shepardson Elementary School was abuzz with excitement and curiosity as students ran room to room to discover the latest about bugs, robots, stars, airplanes and more during the school’s 13th annual Family STEM Night.
