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.

2026-2027 Becoming a Bruin Summer Program
We are thrilled to present you with an amazing opportunity for your incoming sixth grade student over the summer! The Becoming a Bruin summer program is an exciting collaboration between the 21st Century Out of School Time Program (Bruin Club) and Blevins Middle School! Incoming sixth graders will be able to take part in project-based learning and enrichments while becoming comfortable and confident on Blevins’ campus.
Becoming a Bruin will be held at Blevins Middle School and will run two sessions:
Session 1, July 27-July 30
Session 2, August 3-August 6
Students are welcome to register for one of the two sessions. The programs will run from 7:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Monday-Thursday. Students can join us for a “soft start” beginning at 7:00 a.m., but must arrive by 7:30 a.m. Breakfast and lunch will be available to all students who attend, along with transportation if needed.
Registration is now open and will close on April 10! Please register for Becoming a Bruin here!
We understand that the summer music program will occur at the same time as our program. The Becoming a Bruin team is working with the music staff to ensure that students can attend both programs. Feel free to enroll your student in the music program as well!

2026-2027 Registration
We are so excited to welcome you and your student to Blevins Middle School! We can’t wait for our incoming sixth graders to join our Bruin community next school year.
During the week of February 9, 2026, Blevins counselors are visiting our feeder elementary schools to introduce students to middle school, share what life at Blevins is like, and explain our elective options and registration process. Students will learn about classes, activities, and opportunities available to them as they begin this exciting transition.
Sixth Grade Electives & Scheduling
At Blevins, sixth graders participate in a wheel of electives. This means students rotate through several exploratory classes during the year such as art, technology, PE, and other enrichment courses.
The elective wheel allows sixth graders to:
- Explore a wide variety of subjects before choosing electives more independently in later grades.
- Discover new interests and strengths they may not have had the chance to experience in elementary school.
- Build skills and confidence as they transition into middle school.
Because students participate in the elective wheel, they only need to choose one music elective option (band, choir, orchestra, or music appreciation). We will schedule the rest of their electives to ensure every student has access to the full range of exploratory classes.
How This Impacts Future Elective Choices
In seventh and eighth grade, students will have more flexibility and will choose individual electives based on their interests. The experiences gained during the sixth grade elective wheel often help students make more informed and confident choices about which electives they want to pursue in later years
Registration Steps
To prepare for sixth grade at Blevins, families will:
- Review the 6th grade course guide.
- Submit music elective requests through the course registration form HERE.
You can find all registration information, course guides, timelines, and answers to frequently asked questions on our counseling website:
