Preschool Program Launching in 2023-2024
We received 36 applications which were then reviewed by the preschool committee. The committee used a weighted enrollment system to rank the applications based on residency, Early Access (IEP) required, and financial need. Decision letters were mailed to families on April 1st. Currently, we have 17 students enrolled in preschool for the 23-24 school year.
After nine teacher interviews, we selected Mrs. Jennifer Young as our preschool teacher. Mrs. Young is currently a kindergarten teacher in Glenwood CSD and comes to us with over 20 years of experience working with preschool and kindergarten-aged children
Preschool programs are required to have a separate playground. We received a Transformational Grant from the Iowa West Foundation to cover 50% of the costs. The complete project has come in at just under $66,000. The playground construction is nearing completion!

Treynor Staff Are Raising the Red "C"
Mrs. Katie Campbell
"Mrs. Campbell is such an amazing PE teacher and human being! The students in the elementary are blessed to have her in our building. Mrs. Campbell works so hard to help ALL students develop the skills they are working on. She also initiates many exciting activities that the kids love - our dodgeball tournament, March Madness brackets for kids, and the track and field day are just a few. In 17 years of teaching, I have never had a specials teacher who is so willing to use her planning time to take classes for extra PE as a reward. Besides rewarding the students with extra PE, she also blesses the teachers by taking them for PE during the week of the teachers' birthday. She is just such a great role model for our students. We are SO lucky to have her here at Treynor!"
