    Peakview Kinder & 3rd Grade update

    10/29/24

    Dear Parents and Guardians:

    Good news! We have a permanent Kindergarten teacher. Ms. Kayla Griego, one of our 3rd grade teachers, has informed us that she would like to work with the Kindergarten class. In just 2 days, I have seen good behavior and positive learning taking place. She will also benefit from a Para educator stationed in the classroom. Mrs. Knight, 3rd grade teacher, has welcomed Ms. Griego's third grade students into her classroom.

    Mrs. Knight is very capable of taking this assignment head on because she is extremely knowledgeable and very skilled.

    Should you have any questions please feel free to contact myself, Megan Gurule or the aforementioned teachers.

    Respectfully,

    /s/ Michael J Moore

    Superintendent & Interim Principal

  • Chickenpox alert notification letter - contents are below in plain text.

    !Chickenpox Alert!

    Chickenpox Alert 

    Important Notice to Parents

    August 26, 2024

    Your child may have been exposed to chickenpox (varicella) at PeakView Elementary.

    If your child has chickenpox, they need to stay home from childcare or school until the rash has scabbed or dried. Please notify your school or childcare if your child has chickenpox. 

    Chickenpox causes a rash of itchy, blister-like bumps all over the body. Sometimes, there is a fever before the rash. A person can be sick for 5 to 10 days with rash. Chickenpox can easily spread from person to person through the air by coughing and sneezing or by touching the fluid from a chickenpox bump. It usually takes 14 to 16 days for chickenpox symptoms to show after being around someone with chickenpox, but symptoms may appear 10 to 21 days after exposure. 

    If your child received the chickenpox vaccine, they are less likely to get chickenpox. If they do get sick, the rash is less severe (sometimes only a few red bumps that look like bug bites) and there may be no fever. 

    Chickenpox is usually not serious; however, it may cause severe illness in some people such as infants, pregnant women who never had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine, people who have weakened immune systems because of illness or medications, and people with chronic skin or lung disorders. Contact your health care provider if you have questions or concerns about your child's risk of severe chickenpox disease. 

    If your child never had chickenpox before and did not receive 2 doses of chickenpox vaccine, we recommend you contact your child's health care provider as soon as possible. If your child does not have a health care provider, please contact your local health department about vaccine. Chickenpox vaccine (also known as varicella vaccine) given 3 to 5 days since being around someone with chickenpox may prevent chickenpox or reduce the severity of disease. Your child may be excluded from school if there is an outbreak if they are not immune to chickenpox. 

    Chickenpox (Varicella) Vaccine Recommendations: 

    Children 12 months old or older who never had chickenpox need 2 doses of chickenpox vaccine. The 1st dose is usually given around 12-15 months old and the 2nd dose is given at 4 to 6 years old. Chickenpox vaccine is required for children to attend school or childcare in Colorado or an exemption to vaccine is required. Adults who are not immune to chickenpox should consider receiving varicella vaccine. 

    Please call Nurse Laurie with Huerfano SD Re-1 at 719-738-2190 if you have any questions.
