Rain or shine, Tri-Valley football's home opener is tonight! It is also Senior Night with senior players and parents introduced at 6:00 PM on the track. Go Vikings!

Our phone systems are back up and running. Again we apologize for the inconvenience.

We still are experiencing issues with some of our phones. Frontier is on site this morning and will complete the repair. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask that all absences be reported via email to building secretaries. We hope to have our land lines are back up soon.

Frontier is currently working on repairing our phones lines until they get us back up and running we please ask you to contact the building secretaries via e-mail for any issues you may have. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to get everything back up and running shortly.

A great article about one of our Seniors, Mr. Cam Martin. https://www.pantagraph.com/sports/high-school/football/basic-training-to-friday-night-lights-for-tri-valley-s/article_a994e5f4-e79d-5e81-84ef-26e42013090c.html

Varsity football kicks off Friday night at Decatur St. Teresa. Go Vikings!

Homecoming week kicks off on Sunday, September 9th! The high school students will have a wide variety of activities happening throughout the week. The event that impacts elementary students, middle school students and the entire community is the Homecoming parade and pep rally on Thursday, September 13th. The parade will start from Dooley Park and head north on Lincoln. Groups interested in participating in the parade may contact Shari Riley at sriley@tri-valley3.org. Line-up for the parade will start at 5:30 and the parade will commence at 6:00. Entries for the parade will line up in Dooley Park (lining up double wide) or on Lincoln St. heading north. The parade will end in the front middle school parking lot. We are asking, that for the safety of all involved, ALL parade entries wait until they reach the front MS parking lot to unload or disperse. This is not only for the safety of our participants but also to help with traffic congestion. We are also asking to please only park in the unit office, high school or middle school (not the front) parking lots. Please no parking on the sides of the roads at the high school, baseball field or leading to the middle school. Floats and other parade entries will need to be able to get through those narrow roads. Immediately following the parade is the Battle of the Bands held in the high school commons. We will end the evening with a pep rally in the high school gym.

Attention Parents of 2018 Graduates! Your student may not be at Tri-Valley any longer but their yearbook sure is! If you ordered a yearbook last year for your student, you may pick them up at anytime during the school day. Only former students or family members of students (mom, dad, brother, etc) may pick up the yearbooks. They will never be given to friends (even family friends). Please contact Rachel Angus (rangus@tri-valley3.org) with questions!

Phase 1 of Construction is complete! Viking seniors Matthew Kovich, Maggie Dew, and Caleb Stevenson are proud to show you around the new spaces at Tri-Valley High School. Here is a short video: https://youtu.be/z-MwRyqnvYY
