Grab N Go Menu for the week of January 4th
Rocky Ford School District will not be offering the Grab N Go Meals at the Rocky Ford High School December 21st thru Jan 1st for the Holidays. Thank you everyone who has been coming out for the meals everyday. We look forward to seeing you all on Monday January 4th.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Rocky Ford School District would like to wish everyone a happy New Years holiday. Enjoy this week and be prepared to resume school next week. Remote learning will start again on Monday, January 4th. With the support of local and state public health along with other state agencies, the district will be able to provide increased access to COVID testing for staff and students and other supports to help achieve the goal of returning to in-person and hybrid learning on January 18th. The gradual decrease with infection rates locally will help to bring back more student activities. The contribution that everyone is making to minimize the spread of infection in our area is much appreciated!
Happy Holidays from all the Staff at Washington Primary School!
Due to the bad road conditions, the Rocky Ford School District will not be serving Grab and Go meals today.
Washington Primary students will come home with their Remote Learning supplies and Chromebook, if you had previously requested one. However, if your child does not come home with their supplies, this means we have not received your remote learning paperwork. Please call the school office at 719-254-7681 on Friday, December 4, to make arrangements to pick up those supplies.
Remote Learning begins at 7:45 am on Monday, December 7. There is a NEW REMOTE SCHEDULE FOR ALL GRADES K-2. Please check your student’s backpack.
As a reminder, lunch services are available Monday through Thursday at the H.S. bus loop from 11:00 a– 1:00p.
Students on an IEP or who receive ELL services may receive in-person instruction. We will be contacting you directly.
If you have any questions, please call the school office at 719-254-7681.
Because of the high infection rates for COVID-19 in Otero County and because of the significant number of students who required remote learning after being exposed to the virus over Thanksgiving break, Rocky Ford School District has decided to switch to remote learning for all students K-12. The district will be on remote learning for the last two weeks of Fall Semester 2020 (December 7 - 17) and will remain on remote learning for the first two weeks of Spring Semester 2021 (January 4 - 14). Monday, January 18th, is the target date for returning to in-person school for grades K-6 and hybrid school for grades 7-12. More specific information will be shared by the different schools. Here is a link to the video announcement from Dr. Snyder: https://youtu.be/M0wPYAjJnFk

Menu for the week of November 23rd
To make sure everything is clear:
K-6 students in Rocky Ford will have school (in-person) on Monday (November 23) and Tuesday (November 24). After Thanksgiving, K-6 will continue to have in-person school. School starts again on Monday, November 30, following Thanksgiving break.
7-12 students in Rocky Ford, all of the students at the Junior Senior High School, will stay with remote learning. There is school on Monday, November 23, and Tuesday, November 24, but it is remote learning on those days. After Thanksgiving break, the Junior Senior High School will remain with remote learning all the way to Christmas (November 30 – December 17). The decision about remote learning versus in-person learning for the Junior Senior High School will be revisited when we get closer to January.
After being notified that Otero County is being assigned to Level Red on Colorado’s COVID dial, Rocky Ford School District engaged in a decision making process to determine whether students should be receiving in-person or remote learning services. The decision was made to keep in-person instruction for grades K-6 and the Junior Senior High School (grades 7-12) will remain with remote learning. This is effective through Christmas. The major reasons for this decision include the data that has shown schools are a safe place to be with very little transmission of the virus and the recommendations from the Governor’s office along with the Department of Public Health to keep elementary in-person and to provide either hybrid or remote learning for secondary students while in Level Red. Please see this video from Superintendent, Dr. Snyder, for more information: https://youtu.be/C3EpRL44DwM
WPS students are loving the great outdoors! It is a great opportunity to remove our masks for a bit, breathe in that clean fresh air and exercise our bodies! A great game of switch-a-roo during PE.
