Dear Turkey Valley Families, Friday, August 27th will be our swimming party to congratulate our students currently enrolled in grades 1 - 6 who kept reading over the summer. We will be traveling to the Cresco Fitness Center. Sack lunches from home are NOT needed unless there are dietary concerns for your child. Our Turkey Valley kitchen staff have ordered what they need for the students. Please have your child inform their teacher if they have dietary concerns and must bring an alternate lunch from home. This will assist our kitchen staff in preparing the correct number of lunches. Students need to have reached their goal of 40 picture books or 5 chapter books to attend AND have the form on the back completed, signed, and returned to their teacher in order to participate in swimming. Please help your student get their forms to school by Thursday, August 26th, if they haven't already done so. *Remember to bring a swimsuit, towel, and a plastic grocery bag (if possible) to protect wet items. Student in grades 1 - 3 may wear their swimsuits underneath their clothes when coming to school on Friday. (An extra set of undergarments should be considered) We are looking forward to celebrating our reading successes over this past summer! Sincerely, Turkey Valley Staff of Grades 1 - 6 & Principal Cuvelier

Dear Turkey Valley Families and our Turkey Valley Communities, How wonderful it is to announce that school is starting TOMORROW! We are looking forward to seeing you again and strengthening our relationship with each and every one of you. As we gear up for our new school year, it is important that we share with you our plans for in-person instruction. After going through last year with the mitigation requirements for COVID, the district has learned much about what works in these situations. Most importantly, what is best for our students is to be in school every day, in person. In addition, having our routines as close to normal is very important for individual social emotional health for both staff and students. Per state law, we will not require masks, though anyone who wants to wear one should and we encourage all unvaccinated individuals to wear one as well. As the year progresses, we will continue to monitor the outbreak situation and work with local public health officials to update this plan as the circumstances require. We will start the school year following the fully in-person learning model with the goal to remain fully in-person all year. In order to change to a hybrid or distance model, an Emergency Order would need to come into effect from the governor and we would need to apply for this change in service delivery through the Department of Education. All students and staff will be encouraged to follow the CDC’s mask directive on school buses and all unvaccinated students and staff are encouraged to wear masks during the day. Anyone who chooses to wear a mask may also do so. We do ask that parents/guardians please monitor their child’s health at home before coming to school. If your child feels ill, the parent should keep the child at home. If COVID-19 is suspected, testing will be encouraged. Our student and staff well-being is a priority. Our school counselor, Ms. Amanda Lawless, and our at-risk coordinator, Mrs. Rhonda Drilling, are available throughout the day for additional support. As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. With Trojan Pride, Mrs. Renée Cuvelier (563) 776-6011 ext. 1015 #RelationshipsMatter #thetimeisnow #TrojanPride
