School Boundaries & Resources For Timnath Moves

October 16, 2025

Moving to Timnath and trying to figure out which school your new address belongs to? You are not alone. Boundaries, busing, calendars, and programs can feel like a lot when you are planning a move. This guide walks you through how school assignment works in Timnath, how to verify it, and the resources you will use from enrollment to aftercare. Let’s dive in.

Timnath’s public school landscape

Timnath is served by Poudre School District (PSD), which covers Fort Collins and nearby towns including Timnath. Neighborhood schools in town include Timnath Elementary (K–5) and Timnath Middle‑High School (TMHS, grades 6–12). Some addresses in the Timnath area are also served by nearby PSD schools based on exact location.

Neighborhood schools at a glance

Timnath Elementary typically enrolls in the mid‑400s according to recent state snapshots. TMHS opened in 2022 and was designed for about 1,500 students, serving grades 6–12 by the 2024–25 school year. For the latest enrollment and official performance data, use Colorado Department of Education SchoolView.

School boundaries and assignment

PSD assigns each Timnath address to a neighborhood school. Your exact assignment depends on your street address and can vary across subdivisions.

Verify your address

Use PSD’s address lookup to confirm your assigned school before you write an offer or close on a home. It is the authoritative tool for assignments, feeder patterns, and maps.

Boundaries can change

PSD continues long‑range planning to balance growth and capacity in and around Timnath. Proposals can adjust feeder patterns and attendance areas over time. Stay current by following PSD’s Facilities Planning updates, and verify assignments again before each school year.

School choice and other options

If you prefer a PSD school outside your boundary, you can apply through the district’s open enrollment process. Acceptance depends on space and eligibility, and district busing is typically not provided for choice placements. Get details and timelines on PSD’s School Choice process.

Public charter and specialty programs are also available in the PSD area. These schools have their own applications and deadlines, and many are tuition‑free. Private and faith‑based schools in the Fort Collins area operate independently with separate admissions and tuition. Always confirm admissions steps and transportation up front.

Enrollment and key logistics

Registration steps

New to PSD? You will enroll online. Create a ParentVUE account, complete the forms, and upload required documents like proof of address, immunization records, and custody documents if applicable. Start at PSD’s Online Registration page.

Transportation and busing

Bus eligibility is distance‑based and determined by PSD Transportation. Families apply for bus service each year, and assignments are typically shared about a week before school starts. Choice placements usually do not receive district busing. Review details in PSD’s Transportation FAQs.

Calendars and bell times

PSD publishes district calendars and school‑specific start and dismissal times. Bell times were adjusted for the 2024–25 school year to support route efficiency. Check current schedules on PSD’s bell schedule update and your school’s calendar.

Childcare and preschool

Many PSD elementary schools host before and after‑school care on campus, and PSD offers early childhood education at select sites. For countywide partners and developmental supports, explore Larimer County’s KIDS initiative family resources.

School data and performance

For objective, official performance information, use CDE’s SchoolView. It provides school profiles, accountability ratings, and assessment trends. Start with CDE SchoolView and your school’s PSD page for program descriptions and contacts. Parent review sites can add perspective, but CDE and PSD are the primary sources for official data.

Plan your move with confidence

If a school is important to your move, verify assignments early, confirm transportation needs, and note any active planning updates that could affect future years. Keep your enrollment documents handy, and track timelines for school choice and bus requests.
