We are seeing an increase in flu cases in our school community. To help keep everyone healthy, we encourage families to review Colorado’s “How Sick Is Too Sick?” guidance when deciding whether your student should come to school.

When to Keep Your Student Home - Students should stay home when:

• They have symptoms that may indicate a contagious illness

• They don’t feel well enough to participate in usual activities

• They have flu‑like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, runny nose, congestion, or body aches

CDPHE notes that students should remain home if they have:

• A fever of 100.4°F or higher

• Vomiting or diarrhea

• Symptoms that are not improving

According to CDPHE, students may return to school when they are “fever‑free for 24 hours without the use of fever‑reducing medications and other symptoms are improving.” For flu specifically, students should stay home “until they are fever‑free for 24 hours… and other symptoms have been improving for 24 hours.”

We appreciate your partnership in helping reduce the spread of illness. Keeping your student home when they are sick protects not only your student, but also classmates, staff, and our broader school community.

Have a Great Weekend-Sko Yotes!

Hello MoHi Juniors and Parents!

It was great to see so many of you at our Junior Journey night presentation. We wanted to share our presentation slides with you. It is also posted on our counseling website, mohicounseling.com. The presentation outlines important information to know as a Junior going into your last year of high school.

We also want to encourage 11th grade students to sign up for a junior meeting with their counselor. Counselors will go over everything you need to know to get out of high school and reach your post-secondary goals. Parents are welcome to join as well. You can sign up by clicking on your counselor's name on the mohicounseling.com homepage and choosing a block of time.
