All basketball games for Rocky Ford High School have been canceled for today (Tuesday, Jan. 26). The Junior High Boys basketball game in Lamar has also been canceled.
Today’s snowy weather was a good reminder to communicate with parents and students about Rocky Ford School District’s plans for possible snow days. After careful consideration of all factors surrounding snow days, Rocky Ford School District has decided to cancel all instructional services including remote learning in the event of a snow day. The academic calendar for the district has four snow days built in. Therefore, the district will cancel all instruction for up to four snow days per year. If by chance more snow days are needed, any days beyond the four scheduled snow days will have to be replaced with remote learning. More details can be found here:
https://www.rockyfordk12.org/article/386967
Alerts for snow days will continue to be communicated in the same way: text message, district app for mobile devices, district website, radio (1400 KBLJ), and TV (KRDO).
Starting this week, JIS and RFJSHS have teamed up to host a food drive. If you are able, send your child to school with non-perishable items to help out families in need during these hard times. All food will be donated to the local food pantry!
All home sports events for Rocky Ford High School will be streamed live to YouTube. The YouTube channel is named Webmaster R2. The address of the channel is:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCesxLEsQ2BBFNYQRfD4kIZw
On the scheduled day and time of the event, please visit the Webmaster R2 YouTube channel to watch all the action (Basketball and Wrestling).
High School basketball and wrestling "away" events will be broadcast using the specific video service chosen by the host school. Therefore, away events will not appear on the Webmaster R2 channel, only home events. The district will share information for away events as it is made available.
RFJSHS student council will be sponsoring a local food drive from 1/25 to 2/11. Please drop off items at any of the three schools.
Order a “Crush Gram” to help purchase care packages for residents at Pioneer Nursing Home and Cottonwood Assisted Living. See attached photo for details.

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.
