SPIRIT WEEK

Dear MVS Parents & Guardians, 

The week of March 10th - March 13th Mountain Valley School will be participating in a spirit week for the American Heart Association! I have attached the events for the week and am excited to teach our students about heart health and the importance of movement in our daily lives. Along with our spirit week, students have the opportunity to compete in the Kid's Heart Challenge as well as a fundraiser (with prizes) for the American Heart Association. Please look over the informational material about our upcoming events and help get our students excited for a fun week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at the email below. Thank you!

Sincerely, 

Melissa Mommer

With measles cases rising nationwide, state health officials urge MMR vaccination for Coloradans ahead of spring break travel.

Denver (Feb. 27, 2025) — With measles cases increasing across the U.S. and spring break travel approaching, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment urges Coloradans to get vaccinated against the highly contagious disease. The best protection against measles infection []()is the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

“We are seeing a concerning increase in measles cases across the country, including in states neighboring Colorado,” said Dr. Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist at CDPHE. “As Coloradans prepare for spring break and travel, it's crucial to ensure you and your family are protected against this highly contagious and serious disease.”

Measles is more than a rash. It is a serious respiratory illness that can cause life-long problems like hearing loss and brain damage. In the most serious cases, it can lead to respiratory failure and even death. Measles spreads easily. It can remain in the air for up to two hours and stays on surfaces, too. If one person has it, nine out of 10 people who are unprotected around them will get measles. People who are infected with measles can spread it to others from four days before they get the rash to four days after the rash shows up.

Mountain Valley School Board Announce Superintendent Finalists

If your child has a fever today. They should not be at school tomorrow. If you have to give Tylenol or Motrin for a fever today, your child should stay home from school tomorrow. 

If you have to give your child Tylenol or Motrin in the morning before school "to get them through the day" then they should not go to school.

 If your child has vomiting and or/diarrhea they should not be in school.

Flu season is rampant.

Please, please, please do not send your child to school.

Thank you for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated in keeping our loved ones home when they are sick we can prevent the virus from being passed on to other people.

Stomach "Flu" VS The "Flu"

We are looking forward to meeting with all of our student's parent's/guardians. A meal will be provided in the cafeteria for staff as well as Families of Mountain Valley School. See you all soon.
