Welcome to Yutan Elementary – Home of the Chieftains!
Dear Families,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Yutan Elementary, home of the Chieftains! On behalf of our faculty and staff, I want to say how excited we are to have you as part of the Yutan family. I’m truly looking forward to building strong, positive relationships with our students, parents, and community as we kick off another great school year.
Each new school year brings change, growth, and opportunity. At Yutan Elementary, students are expected to attend school regularly, complete assignments responsibly, behave respectfully, and always give their best effort. Our student handbook contains important information about school policies and procedures—please take time to review it together as a family. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact the school office. We believe that open and clear communication between school and home is essential for student success.
To help support learning and organization, each student receives a Yutan Elementary planner or a notebook to help stay organized. These tools are designed to help students manage their daily, weekly, and long-term assignments. It also serves as a valuable resource for parents who want to stay engaged with their child’s academic progress at home. We truly value our partnership with you in educating the children of this community.
We’re looking forward to a year filled with excitement, growth, and many rewarding opportunities. Our team is here to help, support, and encourage your child every step of the way. We hope this will be your best school year yet!
A Little About Me
I grew up on a farm near Hampton, Nebraska—just six miles east of Aurora and 30 miles west of York. I graduated from Hampton High School in 1996, then attended Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln. In 2000, I earned my degree in Elementary Education with a coaching minor.
My teaching career began in Syracuse, Nebraska, where I taught 5th grade and coached several sports. In 2007, I moved to the Omaha area to teach at Wheeler Elementary in Millard while completing my master’s degree in Educational Leadership through Doane College. After one year in Millard and another year teaching 5th grade at Spring Ridge in Elkhorn, I accepted a principal position in Hampton, where I also served as Activities Director and head boys’ basketball coach. During those two years, I wore many hats—from subbing and coaching to mowing and custodial work. Giving back to my hometown was an unforgettable experience.
Ultimately, I discovered that my heart and strengths are best suited for the elementary level. I’m now beginning my 15th year here in Yutan and feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside such a dedicated staff in this wonderful community.
Family Life
I married my best friend, Sarah, on July 25, 2008. She’s originally from Aurora and has a background in special education. After teaching for Gretna Public Schools and staying home for 11 years to raise our children, she returned to the classroom as a special education teacher at Falling Waters Elementary.
Sarah and I have three amazing kids:
Aniston is in 10th grade
Briggs is in 8th grade
Mabry is in 6th grade here at Yutan
We are proud to call Yutan home and feel so fortunate to raise our family in such a supportive and close-knit community.
Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. Here's to a fantastic year ahead!
Thanks,
Trevor
