Turkey Valley Parents and Community Members,
The district was recently notified that Gaiters and Face Shields are no longer acceptable face coverings when dealing with COVID-19. The district works with Winneshiek Public Health and the Iowa Department of Public Health on this issue. Because of this, the district is asking everyone’s help in making sure your child no longer uses these and is using an acceptable face covering which is a cloth mask. The district purchased one for every staff member and student at the beginning of the year. Your child may wear that one or any others you may have.
Our quarantine and positivity rates remain extremely low. This will help us continue to be able to attend school in person and also to continue with our activities. We appreciate your continued support as we go through these challenging times. Our primary concern remains the safety of our students and staff and this will help keep everyone safe.
If you have any questions, please contact the principal’s office.
Tonight's football game vs. Kee High at Lansing will be broadcasted on the following stations: KVIK 104.7, and The River 94.9 and 99.1.
Important: No seventh and eighth grade wrestling practice tomorrow, Friday, October 16. Wrestling practice will begin on Tuesday, October 20.
USDA has extended "free meals for students" to include the entire 2020-2021 school year. Students learning in person and virtually are eligible to receive breakfast and lunch from Turkey Valley at NO COST for the 2020-21 school year. This is GREAT news!

Students wore green on September 11 in recognition of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Mrs. Holmes' advisory dressed for the cause!
The Turkey Valley Elementary students were excited to return to school to find a large portion of their old playground had been replaced with a brand new one. This project was made possible by many years of fundraising at the Little Trojan Relays, Box Top and label collections and other various events in past years. The Turkey Valley Education Foundation (TVEF) helped fund this with a $10,000 donation toward the project. The Lawler Lions, led by Roger Dreckman, graciously volunteered time, equipment and expertise to install our playground over the summer. Other key volunteers included head custodian Joe Pinter, elementary playground committee members, some high school students, and various community members. The students are eagerly exploring the various pieces of equipment and loving recess time even more. Thank you to everyone for making this dream possible! #TVPride
Turkey Valley Students and Families: Reminder ~ no school on Monday, September 21, due to teacher in-service. Thank you.
