Dear RFSD Parents/Guardians, we want to remind you to download the RFSD app to your mobile devices, if you have not done so already. In an effort to improve communication from the school district, we are using a new tool called Rooms which is part of the app. Parents/Guardians can use Rooms to message teachers all in one location for all of your students' classes, regardless of grade level or content area. If you have trouble connecting to Rooms, please contact either Mara Romero at 719-254-7669 or Tami Thomas at 719-254-7423.
