Blevins Bulletin

Hello Blevins Families,

Happy Labor Day Weekend! Your students (and you) have earned a well-deserved three day weekend after all of the determination and positive attitude they have shown in these opening weeks of school. This week, our students completed the MAP assessments for both Language Arts and Math. These assessments provide our teachers with baseline data on where students are in their skills as we begin the school year. I'm proud of the focus the students showed throughout these days!

I'd also like to give a shout out to our Bruin athletics that have kicked off! Our football, tennis, volleyball, and cross country teams are all off to an outstanding start.

Please join me on Tuesday at 5:30pm for our first PTO meeting! I look forward to collaborating with you this year regarding our annual fundraiser and other initiatives that continue to build up the best school environment for our students.

All the best this weekend!

Proudly,

Joe Zappa, Principal

Bruin Club is excited to share our Fall 2024 club schedule! Clubs will begin on Monday, September 16th 2:25-5:00pm and will run until December 12th. Please note that clubs with an asterisk* require a separate field trip form signed by a parent/guardian before students can participate as they will be off campus. Students will receive these field trip forms on the first day of programs. This after-school program, which is funded through the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant, Cohort X, offers students homework help, enrichment clubs, and community connection opportunities, while giving them a safe place to build relationships with other students. New this year: all students will have to have a “Permission to Participate” form turned in before participating in Bruin Club.

"Starting with the 2024-25 school year, student transportation for all athletic events will be one-way only, meaning district busses will only be taking athletes to the competition sites. Parents/families will be responsible for ensuring that their athletes are picked up from the competition sites. Please contact Athletic Director Scott Schreiner with any questions or concerns."

It All Starts With An Idea

Volunteers are needed across Poudre School District to support our Teachers & Students!

• PSD sends frequent emails to currently registered volunteers, but those are getting lost in some recipients' junk mail folders. If you are registered as a volunteer with PSD, please check your junk mail & mark those sent by "Volunteer Coordinator" as safe to receive.

  For those who are not yet registered to volunteer but want to help in our schools please visit - Volunteer Registration
