Celebrating our experiences
We have seen so many examples of kindness and resilience this school year. That instills in us such pride for our PSD communities. Although things look different than they ever did before, our connectedness and resolve are unwavering. Thank you, all, for your part in that. Here’s to an enriching second semester.
Educators and staff across Poudre School District make concerted and careful efforts to create the conditions in which students thrive. We want to introduce Tanner Arkin, Fossil Ridge High School tight end/defensive lineman, who shares how football has shaped his journey in PSD.

15-year-old Nick Pravlik, from Fossil Ridge High School, designed 3D-printed table dividers to keep the dividers evenly separated and upright on the tables of classrooms at O'Dea Core Knowledge Elementary.

Technology transition from remote to in-person learning |
|
We ask for parent/guardian help to assist their students in restarting their devices at home prior to returning to school so necessary updates can take place. This step helps ensure devices can be used quickly and effectively once students are back in classrooms. For more information on Quarter 3 2020-2021, PSD Tech Troubleshooting Tips and FAQs visit the PSD Community Tech Portal. Thank you for your continued patience and grace as we work to support students in using their technology.
