It's Kindergarten Round-up! TODAY
from 8am - 4pm, Washington Primary School.
(Students must turn 5 on or before June 30)
Rocky Ford School District is able to provide free COVID testing for any student. Please contact one of the schools if you want your student to be tested.
An announcement from Rocky Ford School District: Another high school student tested positive for COVID and it is apparent that others are experiencing symptoms and would be considered “probable” cases. Therefore, some students are being required to quarantine and all RFJSHS 9th-12th grade students will be on remote learning starting on 5.3.21 through 5.11.21. (7th and 8th grade will remain on their hybrid schedule for the time being.) Students will return to in person learning on 5.12.21. This is an effort to protect the health of staff and students and will hopefully protect our ability to have a “normal” graduation. Students that are not quarantined may still go to track and baseball practice, since they are outside activities.
Washington Primary school recognizes students for Student of the Week. For the week of April 26, 2021 we recognized students demonstrating perseverance!
Way to go...

RFSD Parents / Guardians,
With the increase of COVID infection rates in the Arkansas Valley area, we understand that there is an accompanying rise of interest in the available COVID testing. As a reminder, any Rocky Ford student can be tested for free by contacting Nurse Kim Schroeder.
Nurse Schroeder can schedule appointments for either Monday or Tuesday of this week (April 26 or 27). The BinaxNOW rapid test, which has been approved by Colorado Public Health, is the specific COVID test used by the school district.
Once again, COVID testing is optional and is completely free for Rocky Ford students. To take advantage of this service, simply call one of the schools and ask for Nurse Schroeder to schedule an appointment and then complete the consent form in the following link and bring it with you to the scheduled appointment: https://5il.co/rxd6
