Rocky Ford School District R2 started the school year with a focus on building trusting relationships with students and families. Thanks to a grant from the Nathan Yip Foundation, the district trained the entire staff on the Home Visit Partnerships program with a goal of completing more than 150 home visits by the end of this school year!

Research shows that home visits help to strengthen school/family partnerships and improve two-way communication between schools and families. The district hopes that this effort will help to improve student engagement and attendance and create productive partnerships with parents and families.
