Due to the complicated nature of a football game between an 11-man team and an 8-man team, Rocky Ford School District and Crowley County School District made a mutual decision to cancel the game this Friday, September 3rd. RFJSHS will continue to look for a game to add to the schedule. We want to thank the fans and spectators for their understanding.
Washington Primary School wishes to remind you that our Back to School Night is tonight at 6:00pm. See you soon!!
A message from Rocky Ford School District: The school district has the capability to provide COVID tests to staff and students should the need arise. If a student or staff member would like to be tested either as a one-time event or on a regular basis, arrangements can be made by contacting one of the schools. Our school nurse, Kim Schroeder, will administer the requested COVID tests.

A reminder from Rocky Ford School District:
Registration for all new and returning students will take place on August 4th & 5th at the high school cafeteria from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Also, we have received a few questions about possible COVID restrictions when school starts. Fortunately, the district will have an almost normal start to the school year: no masks and no daily health screenings. If students or staff members wish to wear a face mask, they may do so but it will not be a requirement. This is due to the low infection rates in Otero County. Please contact the schools or Central Office for any questions.
Menu for the week of July 26th
Note: Friday July 30th will be the last day Grab N Go Meals will be available at Rocky Ford School District. We look forward to serving all the students in the school cafeterias again beginning August 16th.
Menu for the week of July 19th
There was a mistake on Rocky Ford School District's plan for instructional services for the upcoming school year. The plan indicated that August 17th would be the first day of classes, which is incorrect. The first day of classes for all students will actually be August 16th.
