Dear PSD parents and guardians,
Beginning Monday October 20th, 2025 and concluding Friday November 21st, 2025, Poudre School District (PSD) will be providing all students grades 4-12 an opportunity to take a voluntary online student connections survey. This survey will be delivered through the PSD student email system and should take about 15 - 30 minutes to complete.
The purpose of this effort is to provide PSD principals and their teams with useful information that can be used to ensure that every student feels connected at school. Connections are the result of feeling understood, cared about, supported, and valued. Feeling connected to others helps us to be motivated toward a positive future and make the most of educational experiences.
Responses to the Fall 2025 “PSD Student Connections Survey” are not anonymous. This means that a student’s responses will be available to the school principal and their staff. Between October 20 and November 21, students will receive a copy of the survey in English and Spanish via their PSD email address.
The information collected on this survey is intended to assist staff as they support students through the remainder of this school year. Survey results do not become part of a permanent school/educational record.
Review the survey, how to opt out: A student/family can choose not to receive an email invitation to complete the survey by completing an opt-out request by 5pm on Sunday, October 12th. To opt out, you must click one of the links below, review the survey, and complete the opt-out form on the last page.
The survey is available in English and Spanish. Please contact your family liaison if there is a need for support with interpretation in another language, including Arabic.
Thank you for helping PSD to better understand students' feelings of connection related to their school experience. National research, as well as local experience, indicates that students who feel connected to the adults at school, their peers, and their interests and passions while engaging in school are more likely to reach their potential and have an optimal school experience.
Please contact Dayna Hudson, PSD Assessment and Analytics Coordinator, at dhudson@psdschools.org or (970) 490- 3217 if you have questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Poudre School District
