Help Shape School Meals at Rocky Ford School District!

At Rocky Ford School District, we’re always working to improve the meals we serve to students. That’s
why we’re excited to partner with Chartwells K12 on the School Meals Report Card. This nationwide
survey gives students, parents, families, and staff the chance to share feedback on school meals.
The survey only takes a few minutes and is completely anonymous with no identifying information
collected. It will be open from October 13 to November 7.
Take the survey now, and let’s work together to make school meals even better!
