Families are asked (though not required) to arrange an excused absence from school on testing days they have opted out of, and provide appropriate alternative activities of their own if their child will not be participating.

MEDICAID RENEWAL LETTER
Do you or your children have health insurance through Health First Colorado (Colorado’s

To ensure you receive this critical piece of mail: make sure your address, email and phone number are up to date with the State of Colorado.
This renewal letter will tell you one of three things:
● The State of Colorado is renewing your Medicaid or CHP+ coverage, or
● The State of Colorado is ending your Medicaid or CHP+ coverage, or
● The State of Colorado needs more information to determine if you or your family
member still qualify for Medicaid or CHP+. If so, a renewal form will be included.
