Attention Lesher Community!

Do YOU want fresh produce?? At absolutely no cost?? Then consider becoming a Lesher garden volunteer over the summer! Volunteers sign up for 3-4 day commitments and during that time they water the garden and harvest whatever the garden produces that week. Watering and harvesting take less than 30 minutes and, depending on the weather, does not need to happen every day! Your commitment could be as little as 1-3 days.

Imagine cooking a meal with fresh vegetables that came from a garden your student helped plant and care for! If you are interested in volunteering this summer, please reach out to Ms. Natalie Giza at ngiza@psdschools.org! Thanks for everything you do and for your support in this awesome learning opportunity.

Thank you 🙂

📚 IB Pre-DP Pathway – Class of 2029

Summer Reading Information

We’re excited to welcome the IB Pre-DP Pathway Class of 2029 to Poudre High School this August!

As part of the IB program, all incoming students are required to read one novel over the summer. Since it's not yet confirmed whether you’ll take MYP English 9 in August or January, we recommend completing the reading during the summer.

Summer Reading Required Novel:

o The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

Summer Reading Assignment:

• Read and be prepared to discuss The Hate U Give during the first week of school by bringing the book to class (an e-reader is fine) for discussions and in-class assignments. You must have a copy of the book in class, so plan accordingly if you use a library book.
• A few weeks into the semester in which you take MYP English 9, you will have an in-class writing assessment related to your reading.

📖 Need a Book?

If you need a copy of the book, we can provide one through the PHS school library.

• Request Deadline: May 23, 2025
• Contact: Kim Wilder, School Counselor, kwilder@psdschools.org
• Delivery Options:
• Delivered to your middle school the week of May 27th
• Picked up at Poudre High School by May 30th

✏️ If you prefer to take notes or highlight, we suggest purchasing your own copy.

Let us know if you have questions—we’re here to help!
See you in August!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As the current school year comes to an end, we kindly request that you take a moment to confirm your student's enrollment plans for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year.

No action is required if your student will be returning to Lesher Middle School next year.

If your student will not be returning to Lesher Middle School next year, please inform us as soon as possible by emailing our registrar Hao Liang at hliang@psdschools.org.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us plan for the next academic year.

Bus requests for next school year are open in ParentVUE. The deadline is July 15th, and ParentVUE is the only way to submit a request. Please reach out to our registrar Hao Liang for any questions at hliang@psdschools.org.

Open to all boys and girls entering 6th–9th grade in Fall 2025 — whether or not they plan to attend FCHS. Campers will receive high-level instruction from FCHS coaches, current players, and guest coach Naaemah “Nemo” Weathers — former CSU middle blocker, all-conference athlete, and the Rams’ all-time hitting percentage leader.

In an effort to foster a culture of mutual respect, effective communication, and quality customer service, PSD has created a set of norms for staff, family/guardian, and community engagement. These norms aim to set a positive tone for interactions between staff and parents and community members, whether they happen in person, over the phone, or in writing.

The norms will be posted in all PSD schools and include expectations that:

• Calls or emails that are not emergencies will be acknowledged within three school days.

• Appointments between the parties involved will be established as a norm for addressing concerns or discussing important matters through direct communication.

• Appointments will take place as soon as reasonably possible. Adequate time is needed for preparation and research before an appointment.

• Communication will focus on collaboration and understanding – respectful language and non-confrontational behavior from all parties are expected.

• Boundaries between personal and professional life will be maintained, and sensitive matters will not be addressed in community settings.

It’s important for everyone in our schools and in our communities to feel welcome and engage in mutual respect to best serve students.
