Dear Mountain Valley Community,

I am reaching out to our community today to notify everyone that Mountain Valley School will transition to remote learning for all students starting Monday, January 24, 2022.

Mountain Valley School has been in close contact with Saguache County Public Health (SCPH) during this pandemic. After extensive testing, we have identified several positive cases in our school. Due to rising COVID cases in our school and community, SCPH is recommending that Mountain Valley School transition to remote learning for the week of January 24th and possibly longer depending on community spread.

Grab and go breakfasts and lunches will be available for pick up at Mountain Valley School on Monday, January 24th through Thursday, January 27th from 10:00 am until noon.

As always, please continue to monitor your child for COVID symptoms. Drive-thru COVID testing will be available for students on Monday, January 24th from 8:00 am till 4:00 pm at Mountain Valley School. If you have any questions regarding COVID testing, please contact our school nurse, Mrs. Flores, atfloresc@valley.k12.co.usor 719-655-2578.

Thank you in advance for your understanding as we work together to ensure the health and safety of our community during these difficult times.

Sincerely,
