One or more members of the Mountain Valley School board of education will be attending the Colorado Association of School Board's Annual Convention on December 10-13, 2025. The purpose of this event is for board members to engage in professional learning--it is not to conduct public business of the local district or engage in formal action. While notice is not required pursuant to C.R.S. 24-6-402, the Board believes in transparency and therefore is providing this information regarding the event.

Dear Mountain Valley Schools Families,

Mountain Valley Schools will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, November 6, 2025, out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our students and staff.

We have been in consultation with the County Health Department regarding a gastrointestinal illness that has been affecting members of our school community. To help prevent further spread and protect our students and staff, we have made the decision to close school for the day.

Our maintenance and custodial staff will be conducting a thorough deep cleaning of all school facilities tomorrow. This will allow us to sanitize our building comprehensively and help get ahead of this illness.

We understand this closure may cause inconvenience for families, and we appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Please monitor your children for symptoms of gastrointestinal illness, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. If your child is experiencing these symptoms, please keep them home until they have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours.

We will resume normal operations on Monday, November 10, 2025. If anything changes, we will communicate with you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we work together to keep our school community healthy.

Sincerely,

Jose Ortega Superintendent Mountain Valley Schools District RE-1

Good morning, everyone. We wanted to let you know that Friday's football game against Primero has been cancelled. Primero is dealing with multiple injuries and will not have enough players available to field a team.

This means our 2025 football season has come to an end.

Important Information:

• No high school football practice this week
• EXCEPTION: Practice will be held THIS THURSDAY, 10/30
• Transportation will be provided on Thursday for final gear check-in

Thank you to all our players, families, and fans for your support throughout the season!

We've received several inquiries about our fall season games.

All scheduled MVS fall season games are proceeding as planned. No games have been cancelled or rescheduled.
