Friendly Reminder to Parents:
As the colder weather sets in, please remember to send your child to school with appropriate cold weather gear! Fresh air is important, even on chilly days. Here’s a quick checklist:
Warm jackets: Insulated and water-resistant are ideal.
Hats and gloves: Essential for keeping warm.
Scarves: Perfect for extra protection against the wind.
Boots: Waterproof footwear can help keep their feet dry in wet weather.
Let’s make sure our students stay comfortable and ready to enjoy their time outdoors! Thank you for your cooperation!

Pick-up at Rocky Ford PK-12 School has improved since the first day! Here are a few tips to help make the process even smoother: Narrow gaps between cars: Keep a safe distance from the car in front of you, but avoid leaving large gaps. Bus riders: No sign-up is needed for new bus riders. All students are welcome to ride the bus. Please refer to previous posts for pick-up points and times. Alternative pick-up option: Some parents have parked at Babcock Park, called the school, and asked for their student to be sent to the park as a walker. This is a great idea that reduces traffic congestion and wait times. Thank you for your continued cooperation!
