There have been several confirmed cases of measles in Colorado, including in the Denver Metro Area. While this is not considered an outbreak, measles is very contagious.

The best way to protect your child is with a vaccine. If you’re not sure about your student’s vaccination status, or need help, please contact our school nurse, Kate Marshall, at kate_marshall@dpsk12.net.
