Our PTO is organizing snack support for students during the upcoming CMAS testing window, and we need your help! Testing days can be long and mentally demanding, and a small snack can go a long way in keeping our students energized and focused.

Please consider signing up using the link below to donate snacks. All donations should be dropped off at the front office by March 1.

Your generosity helps us support students as they work hard and do their best during CMAS.

Hello Future Lambkins!

We are excited to have you at FCHS next year. We are inviting you to apply for Student Council at Fort Collins High School. Student Council is an organization that promotes student engagement, plans events such as assemblies, dances, spirit days, and more. To be in Student Council you are expected to be a leader within the school, take initiative, and uphold the FCHS Pillars of Excellence: Responsibility, Respect, Integrity, Pride, and Acceptance. If you are interested, please fill out the application below by February 27th. After applying there will be an interview portion as well that will take place at Fort Collins High School from March 2nd - 12th. Due to the sheer number of applicants we get, we cannot assure all applicants will get an interview. There are a limited number of spots for each grade. In addition to the application, you will need two recommendations - one must be from a teacher. Please send the recommendation link to two adults as your reference. We recommend sending the link as soon as possible, even before you submit the application, to give the recommenders time to complete the form.

Middle School Parents,

Fort Collins High School is hosting a FREE Carnival for elementary and middle school students on Wednesday, February 25th from 5 - 8pm. This carnival is part of our Spread the Love Week, an annual FCHS tradition that serves as both a fun-filled week of events for students and as a fundraiser for an important cause. This year we are partnering with Make-A-Wish: Colorado. Our Make-A-Wish kid this year is Lulu, a 5-year-old girl diagnosed with Leukemia whose wish is to go on a Disney Cruise to meet the princesses. Our goal is to raise $25,000 for kids like Lulu!!

The carnival has a variety of activities including Face painting, Temporary Tattoos, Spin for a Hershey Kiss, Football Throw, Basketball toss, Mario Kart, Cake Walk, Color Lounge,

Lilo & Stitch Watch Party (Lulu's favorite movie), Cornhole, Spikeball, a Photo booth, and much more. Again, the carnival is free with a suggested donation of $10 to support kids like Lulu. Please see the attached flyer for more information.

Thank you for your support!

FCHS Student Council

In an effort to reduce our waste and support our Lesher community, we are opening Lesher’s first ever “Thrift Store!” And it’s free! Come take what you want – if you need a Lesher shirt, take it! If you want a jacket, it’s yours! Need a water bottle, we’ve got it for you! The Lesher Thrift Store is located right outside Mr. Mitchell’s office (room 36), across the hall from the front office, with many of the items displayed in the window and is open on “Blue” Days after school until 2:40. Please come take what you want and leave the rest for others, and please keep our space organized so we can all use it! Thanks, and go Vikings! Please note: all clothing has been donated and is lightly used.

Does your child play a fall sport or participate in an activity outside of school? We are beginning to compile an 8th grade video slideshow for the end-of-the-year celebration, which tries to feature every student as well as every school sport/club. Help make this year’s video amazing by submitting short ACTION VIDEOS (2-8 seconds long) to Ms. Thompson at juliat@psdschools.org ! You can also reach out to her with any questions about the slideshow. More details about the video montage in a few months!

Please visit our Yearbook Website to order a yearbook or share pictures. Eighth grade families, you can use the website to purchase a baby ad as well!

Dear PSD Families,

As we welcome students back to school, we are excited for all the opportunities the new calendar year brings.

As we kick off 2026, we encourage you to take a moment to log in to ParentVUE to ensure that all information, including contact information, is up to date. Keeping your information current ensures you can fully benefit from the tools and resources ParentVUE provides, including access to:

• Grades
• Attendance
• Schedules
• Other important student information

If you haven’t already, you can access ParentVUE through the secure online portal or download the app from the iTunes Store or Google Play app stores. You will be able to view and edit your student’s information directly in the application. If you want to change your emergency contacts, release to status, etc. you must call your school directly to make those changes.

If you have any difficulty accessing ParentVUE, please contact the front office at your child’s school for assistance.

By ensuring your information is up to date, you help us maintain seamless communication and ensure that you stay informed about your student’s progress and updates from their school.

Thank you for being an active part of our PSD community. We look forward to an amazing year of growth and learning together!

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.
