So, in summation, the 3rd and 4th-graders will have their concert after the JrK-2 concert next Thursday (15th). The 5th-graders will have their concert before the 7-12 concert the following Monday (19th).
Thank you for your willingness to adapt with us as we go through this winter season. There will be no after-school activities today in Tri-Valley.

All of tonight's basketball games (high school and middle school) have been postponed due to impending weather. I will post make-up dates as soon as we have them.
Greetings,
Today (12/18/22) is a busy day for Tri-Valley activities. We have multiple teams that are scheduled to travel to other locations, including as far away as Parkston. In speaking with our transportation director and reviewing the current weather forecast, we are not comfortable having these buses on the roads this evening when according to the National Weather Service travel will be “hazardous”. Therefore, all Tri-Valley basketball games (junior high and high school) have been postponed and will not be played this evening. Many of these buses would be leaving the school in the next couple of hours so we had to make this decision at this time.
We are also scheduled to host the 3rd-5th grade elementary concert tonight at the school. No official decision has been made on the concert as of this time. We are going to wait a little more so we can have the most up-to-date forecast to see if there are any updates or changes to the current weather forecast before making a final decision. We will make another announcement concerning the elementary concert scheduled for tonight no later than 4 p.m. today. This announcement will again be sent out to parents via email and posted to the Tri-Valley Facebook page.
Respectfully,
Dr. Mike Lodmel

Greetings,
It is currently forecasted that we will see our first winter weather event of the year during the overnight hours tonight and tomorrow morning. Although I don’t anticipate making any school weather-related decisions based upon the current forecast, I thought it would be a good reminder to send out our process to parents today.
In the event school would be closed or if a late start is issued, a SchoolMessenger (phone call) will be made. Sometimes though, individuals don’t receive these calls. We will also post our information to the two local television stations (Keloland and DakotaNewsNow) as well as the Tri-Valley Facebook page. I would suggest always referring to at least a couple sources for information, as sometimes technical difficulties do happen.
In the event we would have a bus running significantly late due to the weather or for any other reason, that information will be posted to the Tri-Valley Facebook page. You can also always call the bus garage at 605-446-3482 in those events with questions.
Respectfully,
Dr. Mike Lodmel, Superintendent
