All Tri-Valley athletic games, practices as well as any other school events are cancelled for today. Tuesday morning athletic open gyms have also been cancelled.
Out of an abundance of caution, Tri-Valley will be canceling in-person learning for tomorrow, February 15th. The forecast shows a combination of dangerous wind chills, snow accumulation, and blowing snow. We will be utilizing a remote learning day. Stay warm and stay safe.
Pre-school and Kindergarten screening will take place March 1st-March 5th at the elementary school. If you have not registered or know someone that still needs to register please call the office at 309-378-2031 to schedule a time!
We are ready for another great week at Tri-Valley. It is more important than ever that EVERYONE conducts daily symptom checks, and stays home if ill (or family member is ill or getting tested). DO NOT be the person that sends a sick child to school. Our success depends on everyone making good decisions. Many pediatricians are now offering PCR tests with quick turnarounds (an hour). That's a game changer!! If you're not sure about a symptom, please be cautious and STAY HOME. Protect our students and staff!!! #togetherTV3
Congratulations to the TV Speech team for a great showing at Regionals on Saturday. Seth Coughlin represented TV in Impromptu speaking and ended his season with an 8th place showing. Lauren Christopher broke to finals and placed 5th in Informative Speaking. Charlotte Watson (Extemporaneous Speaking) and Kaitlyn Jones (Humorous Interpretation) both placed 3rd and advanced to Sectionals next Saturday. Also advancing to Sectionals is the Humorous Duet of Kaitlyn Jones and Anthony Decker by placing 2nd. Great Job to everyone! I am very proud of you all!!
How do we decide to cancel school if the weather is bad? An update from Dr. Mouser is here.... https://www.tv3unit.com/post/2014/11/11/baby-its-cold-outsidewill-we-have-a-snow-day
The Vikings are back in action! Go to the “NEWS” section of our Webpage or App for details on how to watch livestreams of Tri-Valley MS and HS games this year.
Reminder: Tomorrow we bring back ALL students 5 days a week. It is more important than ever that EVERYONE conducts daily symptom checks, and stays home if ill (or family member is ill or getting tested). We can do this together!
Tri-Valley CUSD #3 will be IN SESSION today 1/26/21. We've been out all morning and while most roads are salted and improving, there are a a few rural roads that are still quite slick. Drive slow, proceed with caution, take your time, and be careful. Our busses may be a little late in some instances as we carefully move through our routes.
Last night our board of education approved a recommendation to have ALL students return on February 1st. Students that chose remote learning for this 9 weeks will remain remote. However, those in 7th-12th grade that have been blended to this point will begin daily in person attendance on Monday, February 1st, 2021. Dismissal times will remain unchanged to allow our staff time to work with remote or quarantined students, and to provide additional planning time.
A video outlining this decision and associated rationale can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?hd=1&v=4yzB-A0ukOg&feature=youtu.be.
I ask that ALL parents view the video to hear about updates, changes, and protocols moving forward.
Go VIKINGS!!!!
We’ve had a great week back! Please help us by keeping children that are symptomatic home with all siblings. Also, if anyone in the home is being tested due to suspicion of COVID, please keep everyone home pending results. We need everyone on board! #togetherTV3

So....What's the plan for Tri-Valley next semester?? Dr. Mouser outlines the plan for January and beyond in this link https://bit.ly/3nvrEEA. Building specific information will follow.
The Tri-Valley Speech Team has been very busy this fall! We have “attended” 7 virtual tournaments that consist of both video submissions and live zoom competitions. Beginning in October with two early bird tournaments at University High School, the Tri-Valley team had Molly Klessig (HI) place 11th and Charlotte Watson (EXT) place 8th.The following weekend Lauren Christopher (INFO) and Seth Coughlin (IMP) both placed 4th, Kaitlyn Jones (HI) placed 3rd and the Duo of Kaitlyn Jones and Anthony Decker placed 1st.
November brought 3 tournaments with Seth Coughlin placing 4th at one and 6th at another while Kaitlyn and Anthony’s duo placing 4th at all 3.
The first meet of December was a gigantic accomplishment for our team! Charlotte Watson placed 3rd, the Duo of Kaitlyn Jones and Anthony Decker took 4th, Lauren Christopher and Kaitlyn Jones each brought home a 5th place and Seth placed 6th in JV. These placements awarded the Tri-Valley Speech Team with a 5th place overall in the limited entry division!!
We ended December with Charlotte placing 4th and our Duo (Kaitlyn and Anthony) placing 3rd.
We have many meets to go with Regionals beginning in February. These kids are working hard and really doing a great job. If anyone would like to join our team- it is never too late. Just email Mrs. Marcotte and we can discuss where you would like to participate.
Great Job TV Speech Team- I am very proud of you!!!
Here we come!!! Reminder: please have donations for the food pantry outside at 2:15. Our busses will head out soon!
