Schools lend a helping hand to those in need

Leading up to winter break, schools throughout PSD have unique ways to give back and extend a helping hand to the community in need with Adopt-A-Family programs, Giving Trees, food drives, winter clothes donations and more.  

Poudre School District is proud to announce the new principals for Fossil Ridge High School and Poudre Community Academy.

Whether your child is enrolling in Poudre School District for the very first time or moving up a level to a PSD middle or high school (or middle-high school), attending an open house is a great way to get acquainted with the people and programs in their building. 

Open House events and Information Nights will take place across PSD in November and December 2023 to coincide with the first-round school choice application period Nov. 1 through Dec. 15. Registration for all schools in the 2024-25 school year launches Monday, Nov. 27.  

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.  

As part of an annual tradition, several Poudre School District schools participated in the 37th Colorado State University C.A.N.S. Around The Oval, one of the largest fund and food drives in Northern Colorado.

As summer settles into the crisp, cool days of fall, the school garden at Poudre Global Academy continues to flourish, with visits from buzzing bees, butterflies floating through the air, and the occasional bunny hiding between the potting soil bags. 

Fourteen Poudre School District schools have been selected for Governor’s Distinguished Improvement awards or John Irwin Schools of Excellence awards for their achievements in the 2021-22 school year. One PSD elementary school was recognized with both.

The Colorado Department of Education recently honored schools and districts across the state that won 2022 performance awards for outstanding academic student growth and/or achievement.
