Free Online Summer School
As your student prepares for the transition to high school, we want to ensure they have access to opportunities that support their academic success. Poudre School District offers free online summer school for high school students, including current 8th graders who will enter 9th grade in the 2025-2026 school year. Below are some important details:
- Eligibility: Summer school is open to graduating 8th-grade students and current high school students only. Younger students are not eligible.
- Math Courses: Available only for credit recovery—students may not take math for first-time credit.
- All available summer school classes are only offered virtually.
To help make this transition as smooth as possible, the following courses are available during the summer for 8th grade students:
✔ English 9 (Semesters 1 & 2)
✔ Earth Systems Science (Semesters 1 & 2)
✔ World History (Semesters 1 & 2)
✔ Health
For more information, including registration details, please visit the PSD Summer School Website. If you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to your student’s high school counselor.
We appreciate your support in helping your student start high school on the right track!"

8th Grade Boston and New York Trip Information
“8th graders, do you want to travel? There are a few spots remaining on the Boston and New York trip. Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime trip! If 5 more students enroll, Mr. Bourland gets to join us! All that is due upon registration is the $95 enrollment deposit. If you need support with the cost, there are opportunities provided through EF to help make it more affordable, but these are only accessible once your student is registered.
You can enroll for the trip and save your spot here: www.efexploreamerica.com/2794420AY
If you have questions or want to see pictures from when Ms. Rajnowski went on this trip in 8th grade, stop by her room (148)!”
