See Something, See Something, PSD! Together, we can build a culture of safety in PSD and watch out for one another. See something concerning at school? Tell an adult. Report it to Safe2Tell. Or share it via the district's incident reporting tool. Learn more >>

Updates on meals, safety and security in PSD

For the 2022-23 school year, students will no longer receive free meals unless they have been approved for the Free and Reduced Meals program. The program that helped make that possible (related to the pandemic) is ending.

For the 2022-23 school year, families must apply and be approved for the Free and Reduced Meals program to receive benefits. Learn more and apply >>

We want our students, staff and their families to feel as safe as possible. We care deeply about this. Our district’s emergency management approach is rooted in culturally responsive, age-appropriate and emergency services best practices to prepare for, respond to and recover from natural and human-made emergencies. Learn more about PSD's approach to safety and security on our new web page. >>

Health and Wellness

Find resources for Mental Health, Health and Wellness and more through Student Services. Access Student Health programs and services.

Call for Community

We need you! Serve on one of the district's committees: District Accountability Committee, District Advisory Board, and more. Volunteer in our schools or support education as a community partner. Join a Parent Teacher Organization or School Accountability Committee through your school directly.

Safety Notifications

Always enter schools through the secured front entrances and check in and out at the front desk, following all visitor and volunteer procedures. View the PSD Policy Regarding Treatment of Students, Families, Public. State law (C.R.S. 22-1-124) requires schools to notify parents how to access records on the Sex Offender Registry.

Code of Conduct and District Policies

PSD requires parents/guardians to review the Student Rights and Code of Conduct, available through ParentVUE. To support district transparency efforts, PSD has added information about new and revised policies on the website.

District Communications

District communications and inclement weather procedures are available on our website, social media, and email (update your contact information on ParentVUE). Participate in and watch Board of Education meetings.

All automated PSD and school phone calls come from one main number: 970-490-3050. If you miss a phone call or voice message from the district, you may call the number and listen to the last 10 voice messages sent to your phone (most recent will play first).

COVID Protocols

Heading into the new school year, we know that some of you have questions about current COVID protocols in PSD.

If your student:

Is experiencing COVID-like symptoms, follow the steps on this flowchart.
Tests positive for COVID, keep them at home and inform the school or health office.
Isolate for five full days.
If symptoms are improving, return and mask days 6-10.

The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment is not contact tracing school-based exposures. Masks are not required in schools, but PSD supports anyone who chooses to wear one.

Note: PSD protocols are subject to change, based on public health guidance.
