SCHOOL NEWS

Register your children for the 26-27 school year by next Tuesday, August 11th! Please read all the instructions and information within our 26-27 School Registration web article: https://socs.net/8XV.  We are urging everyone to complete the process by August 11th so that our Transportation Department has adequate time to plan routes and our elementary school can finalize teacher class lists.

Back to School Nutrition Info Check out our Back to School Nutrition article linked below, which contains links to the menu program, nutrition policies, free/reduced application information and pricing. We look forward to seeing the students in our cafeterias soon! https://socs.net/8XW

Cross Country for HS starts on Monday, August 10th at 7:00 am at the Wabash Trailhead. Reach out to Coach Hempel for any questions.   MS XC practice starts Wednesday, August 26th at 6:00 am OR after school.

Classroom Grant Donations can be made throughout the year and your tax deductible contribution will be put toward future projects. Donate to the classroom grant fund so we can help even more teachers in the future!

Staff Email Naming Convention  has changed, particularly for new staff.  Prior to this year, staff members’ email addresses were typically their first-initial+last-name@treynorcardinals.org; however, we have recently had new staff members join our team who would have identical email addresses to a current or former staff member. For that reason, any new staff member’s email address will now be their first-name+last-name@treynorcardinals.org.

To eliminate confusion, we have also created added aliases for all returning staff to use that same naming convention (first-name+last-name@treynorcardinals.org).  The alias means you can email returning staff at their previous email OR their new email (for example, returning staff member Jane Doe’s email addresses are jdoe@treynorcardinals.org AND janedoe@treynorcardinals.org).  New staff this year and into the future will only have one email, first-name+last-name@treynorcardinals.org.

Bus Transportation is for students who have been assigned a bus through the transportation department and routinely ride to and/or from school.  For bus management and student safety, students are only allowed to ride their assigned bus.

The speed limit in the school zone on Highway 92 is 25 mph during times when the lights are flashing. The school zone is highlighted in red below. These lights flash in the morning from 7:40 - 8:20 a.m. and in the afternoon from 3:20-3:50 p.m. (1:50-2:20 p.m. on 2:00 p.m. dismissal days). NOTE: The crosswalk  flashing is managed by the City of Treynor.

The online parent registration portal is open the 2026-27 school year. All parents are required to register their child(ren) using this portal. We highly encourage you to have this done by August 11th, particularly so that our Transportation Department has adequate time to determine bus routes and our elementary can finalize and release teacher class lists.

Most of the steps you need to take can be found on the Registration Dashboard of the JMC parent portal, but reference to the Online Registration Guide can be made for step-by-step guidance. Please make special note of the following:

• After you have clicked through the registration custom questions and make it to the page that says "You are Finished with Step 1", please scroll to the bottom of that page and click "OK" under the "Registration Complete - Email sent" message.
• The JMC Family Mobile App is not designed to complete school registration. You should use a web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, etc.) from a computer or mobile device. Please note that if you are using a mobile device such as your cell phone, it is best to scroll to the very bottom of the web page and click "View JMC in Desktop mode" for full functionality.
• Within the "sign forms" menu of the JMC Parent Portal Registration Dashboard, you will need to select each child from the drop-down menu to view documents needing signed (see page 4 of the guide for more details), because children in different buildings may require additional form signatures. The same form(s) that apply to more than one child will only need to be signed once by the parent.

If you are a family new to the district, please visit the New Family Registration Page and download any paper forms that you may not have filled out yet. If you are a returning family, please visit the Returning Family Registration Page. For reference, you will also find forms that require digital signatures on these pages as well.

For parents needing in-person registration assistance, we will have limited staff available on Tuesday, August 4th from 4-7 p.m. in the HS Commons. We will have computers to assist you with the online registration process if needed.

For PK-8th grade school supply lists, click here. (Students in 9th-12th grade do not have a supply list because your child’s classes may differ from others and each class may require unique supplies. You can always start with the basic supplies found on the 8th grade list.)

Nutrition plays a key role in a student's intellectual performance. Treynor CSD offers balanced and nutritious breakfast and lunch choices every day. To check out our menus, you can access those here. We utilize a menu program called Health-e Pro (My School Menus), which is USDA-approved, cloud-based menu planning software that offers nutrient analysis, support for various nutrition programs and smart snack standards, and is designed for easy use. Menus are subject to change due to vendor shortages or schedule changes, and this online menu program will reflect those changes dynamically.

Go to My Schools Menus Website and select Treynor Elementary, Treynor Middle School or Treynor High School from the drop-down menu. Select Breakfast or Lunch Menu. Select the menu item to view nutrition information.  Or download the mobile app (see QR codes below) to view menus and nutrition information. The app also includes features like: 

• Build-a-meal: Allows users to select menu items and view their nutritional information.
• Attribute Listing: Provides information on attributes like vegetarian, locally grown, gluten-free, and organic.
