In a few short years, the Tri-Valley School District will have three attendance centers. The first attendance center will be a k-4 elementary school in Crooks (currently called the Early Learning Center). The second attendance center will be the current building that students are attending today. This building will host a k-4 elementary and grades 5-8 (intermediate school). The third attendance center will be Tri-Valley High School, which will be located to the east of the current practice football fields. As a district, we will need to name the attendance centers for the elementary in Crooks as well the current building for when it becomes K-8th. We are currently taking suggestions for the naming of these two attendance centers. People with suggestions are asked to complete this short form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd_Hsixd4HG65gk03CibrCtEjO8HcujCWtUHtLpoO9Hw3l4jg/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0
