2026-2027 Open House

Hello Future Blevins Middle School Families,

Our incredible neighborhood middle school remains open for the coming school year! There had been uncertainty about our future in recent months. Last night, the Poudre School District Board of Education made a definitive decision:

"Blevins will stay open for at least five years and receive up to $250,000 in dedicated funding for the next two school years to be used for marketing and staffing needs. An advisory committee, consisting of representatives of Blevins families and district staff, will also be formed to collaborate on objectives related to Blevins’ enrollment and programming."

As you are planning for your child’s middle school journey, I’m excited to share that Blevins, your neighborhood school, is ready to welcome you here without worry about our future.

With that in mind, come visit us! On Tuesday, November 17th, Blevins Middle School will host its Open House from 5:30-7:00pm. Incoming and prospective 6th grade families are invited to learn about the many unique aspects of Blevins.

5:30-6:00pm: Join us for a family dinner!
6:00-6:15pm: Presentation from school leadership
6:15-7:00pm: Explore Blevins, engage in PBL activities, and meet staff.

Please watch this video to see who we are.

Our flyers for Open House and upcoming 5th grade events are attached!

Blevins Middle School is a proud school community. We do everything with the intent to live our daily mission to be a welcoming learning community of personal and academic growth, where all students belong, achieve, and are prepared for lifelong success. At our Open House, learn how we do this with:

Project-Based Learning: We believe students learn best through hands-on learning, collaboration, real-world application, and community involvement. Every Blevins student is enrolled in our PBL Program. This program is designed to increase student engagement and belonging at school through Project-Based Learning.
Academic Rigor & Growth: Our students perform at or above state averages in English Language Arts and Math, while demonstrating strong academic growth. In Math, students consistently outperform state averages and achieve some of the highest growth rates among PSD middle schools.
Small school, more connection: Here, every student is more than just a name.
A diverse student population: We intentionally teach and implement opportunities for students to develop empathy, open-mindedness, bonding, and championing of others.
Bruin Club: We are the only middle school in the area that provides an after school program in the building, M-Th 2:30-5pm. We have a large list of clubs and HW Help. Bruin Club also includes transportation home.
WEB: Our 8th grade student leadership team (Where Everybody Belongs) provides ongoing welcoming activities for our 6th grade students.
Extensive elective opportunities: Our students’ schedules provide them with two electives each quarter. Choices include courses in music, foreign language, technology, family & consumer sciences, physical education, science enrichment, study hall, & WEB.
Integrated Services: Our I.S. programs include Multicategorical and Affective Needs. We believe in inclusion! Students with IEPs at Blevins consistently show academic growth that exceeds state norms.
Gifted & Talented: Our GT program has range of enrichment opportunities, community partnerships, and student connections.
Athletics: We offer the full range of PSD’s impressive middle school athletic programs, including teams for 6th grade students. We have two full gyms, an auxiliary gym with a weight room and climbing wall, and a track/football field.

Channeling Grimm—coming soon to the Blevins Middle School

The Grimm Brothers have hit the small screen!

Cameron doesn’t know what to write for an honors English assignment on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Luckily, Cameron’s friend Jaime has the solution—watch TV versions of the tales! But when Cameron points the unusual looking remote at the screen expecting Netflix or Apple TV, instead they find the wackiest assortment of fairy-tale themed programming! There’s a Project Runway style competition show called “Project Ballgown,” a Frog Prince soap opera called “The Green and the Beautiful,” a game show hosted by Magic Mirror called “Who’s The Fairest One of All?” and a sitcom starring Rumpelstiltskin! The teens also find news stories, a Law and Order style show, a movie trailer, and of course, commercials!

Don’t miss Channeling Grimm—coming soon to the Blevins Middle School Auditeria.

Join us for: Raising a Self-Advocate! Thursday, September 24, 2026 from 5:30–6:30 PM, Boardroom inside the Johannsen Support Services Center (JSSC)

We invite you to join us for a special presentation designed to help give you the skills to support your child to become strong self-advocates.

During this session, you'll explore what self-advocacy looks like for elementary and middle school students. You'll learn practical strategies to help your child communicate their needs, speak up when something feels wrong, make their voice heard in the classroom, understand the difference between typical mean or unkind behavior and bullying, and more.

We hope you will join us for this valuable opportunity to learn, share, and connect with other families. To hold this event, we require a minimum number of attendees. If this minimum is not met, the event may be cancelled. It's important to RSVP to help us plan accordingly. Raising a Self-Advocate RSVP

2026-2027 Blevins Yearbook

While May seems so far away, the Yearbook purchase deadline will creep up faster than you think! Now is the best time to pre-order your yearbook for three reasons:

You are guaranteed a yearbook! We don’t order enough for every student, so ordering in advance guarantees your student will receive one.
You can get FREE icons to customize your student’s book. Add music notes, a football, or other symbols to reflect their unique interests with the code YBKICONS at checkout when personalization is purchased
The yearbook is CHEAPER! After winter break, the cost of the Yearbook will go up! Order your yearbook now and avoid the price increase later in the year.

We appreciate your support of yearbook as students create the entire book start to finish. We can’t wait to share this year’s work with you!
