New faces, start times, Covid-19 adjustments Katie Harris
T
he faculty and staff at northern Colorado school districts are working harder than ever to gear up for the 2020-21 school year. Between new principals, changes to school start dates and all the extra planning and preparation Covid-19 made necessary, your local district is guaranteed to see some changes this year. Read on for all the updates you need to know about.
Poudre School District School start dates

COVID-19 Updates
As Poudre School District prepares for the new school year in August, a variety of educational phases are being developed to best educate students while keeping safety as a top priority for students, staff and the community. District and school leaders, following guidance and orders from Colorado Gov. Jared 4 | RMPARENT
Polis, the Colorado Department of Education, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment and other public health and government officials, have developed four educational phases that allow the district to continue educating students while also adapting to the ever-changing COVID-19 pandemic. Student learning could be remote, remote with limited in-person interactions, a blend of in-person and remote learning, or fully in-person. PSD is prepared for shifting among phases throughout the year, as required or permitted by health officials and conditions. For students and families who are not ready or able to go back to school when health conditions allow for it, PSD Virtual, a 100-percent online education option will be available. Please note that plans for the 2020-21 school year may change due to COVID-19 and health conditions in our community.

Weld RE-4 School District School start date: August 12
Today, our approach to learning in Weld RE-4 is evolving to better position our students for college admissions and academic and athletic scholarships and, beyond that, to prepare them for the demands of a modern workforce and ever-evolving society. We focus on learning activities that are meaningful and relevant to individual learners— activities driven by their needs and interests. In classrooms across the district, strong routines and expectations are beginning to empower learners to initiate their own learning with support and guidance from educators as well as local and national experts in the field. Ultimately, we are committed to teaching our learners how to learn,
because once they learn that, they can learn anything, anywhere, anytime. Approaching learning in this way relies heavily on Weld RE-4’s long-standing focus on relationships. Educators invest in getting to know each learner personally and, in turn, learners care more about their learning. Weld RE-4 educators are designing lessons that are aligned with the Colorado State Standards, but these lessons unfold uniquely in each classroom, as individual learners have input into how they learn and how they demonstrate their learning. Our aim is that learning activities in classrooms across the district will focus on what is meaningful and relevant to individual learners. When learners make decisions and have input into how they learn, it triggers their investment, interest, and motivation. We endeavor to take our learners on an adventure-filled journey down paths less-traveled, where they are inspired by what they find around every corner. This approach will awaken important qualities in Weld RE-4 learners, including confidence, curiosity, creative problem solving, and the ability to embrace ambiguity, which will empower their success beyond Weld RE-4—in college and in their careers. Learn more about Weld RE-4 School District at www.weldre4.org.
