Cardinal Families and Fans,

We are excited to share a new and affordable way to follow Treynor Activities throughout the 2026-2027 school year found on our Hudl page!

Beginning this year, the Western Iowa Conference will move to a subscription-based streaming model for athletic events. For just $20 for the entire school year, Cardinal fans will have access to available streamed contests from schools throughout the Western Iowa Conference.

Streaming Options:

• Single Event - $7

• Entire School Year - $20

One of the biggest benefits of the yearly subscription is convenience. Rather than purchasing separate streams throughout the year, one $20 subscription allows you to follow the Cardinals both at home and on the road when events are streamed by WIC schools.

Whether you are unable to make it to a game, have family members who live outside the area, or simply want another way to follow Treynor students throughout the year, the WIC subscription provides an affordable way to stay connected.

At Treynor, we will continue to livestream events from Cardinal Stadium and our high school gymnasiums, giving Cardinal fans access to many of our football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, soccer, track, and other activities throughout the year.

Please keep in mind that streaming availability for road contests will depend on the host school having the necessary streaming equipment in place.

One subscription. One conference. A full year of Cardinal Activities.

With school starting back up, now is a good time for a school bus safety refresher. Make sure you know when to stop. Remember, these are not just suggestions - this is the law. Have a great year, everyone!  Learn more here: iowadot.gov/schoolbus

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.)

Thursday, August 20th:

• Elementary Meet your Teacher Night: Students Last Name A-K 4:00-5:00; L-Z 5:00-6:00

Jason Shupp, District Activities Director, shared the Fall Activities/Kick-Off Information with families in an email on July 23rd.For reference, we have included that link here. He also shared information that athletic registration for 7th-12th grade athletes must be done in the Bound portal, which includes uploading required documentation such as physicals and consent forms. Please refer to his email or the Athlete/Activity Registration page for more information and instructions.

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.
• Ingredient Information: Displays detailed ingredient information for menu items

To review a video on how to use the new menu program, click here.

We also want you to be aware of our nutrition policies regarding negative balances. You can read that information here.

If you think you may qualify for free or reduced meals, applying in the JMC online parent portal is very easy. Within the Family JMC Portal, click on "Register for 2026-2027" menu along the left-hand side. Next, click on "Application for Educational Benefits" to begin the process to apply for free or reduced meals. Click here to read an information letter which contains frequently asked questions and income guidelines.
