Good Evening Tri-Valley Staff and Families,
Governor Pritzker just issued an executive order that all Illinois schools will be closed beginning March 17th to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Students may return to school on Tuesday, March 31st based on the information we’ve been given. There will be no extracurricular activities (contests, practices, games, meetings, etc) until March 31st.
Due to these developments, and out of an abundance of caution, Tri-Valley School District will be utilizing Digital Days all next week, including Monday, March 16th. We will post assignments as we’ve done in the past for all digital days. These will be posted on our website and via email. Any students that need to pick up materials or devices from school can do so on Monday, March 16th from 10am-4 pm. Devices will be made available to those that may need them. Please contact building principals if you need to utilize a school device during this time.
In summary:
No school for students March 16th through March 30th.
Assignments will be posted on the District website for March 16th through March 20th, and March 30th.
No assignments will be posted for March 23rd through the 27th due to Spring Break.
We will keep you updated as more information is received.
Stay safe and healthy!
