Torrence Elementary School is located in Southeast Iowa. We take pride in the fact that we are a neighborhood school with a strong sense of community and excellence. We have a supportive PTA, that has been actively involved in playground improvements and acts as sponsor of our "Artist in Residence" program. Members of the community work as "VIPS" (volunteers in the public schools) to provide assistance to staff and students. Monthly pride and citizenship awards are presented to our highest achieving students in areas of excellence and responsible behavior. We are proud to announce that our school is a recipient of a"Technology Literacy Grant" for both technology training and equipment purchases.

This page will help you learn about our art program and the students who work here. We have about 155 students, Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, who attend art classes one day in a three day rotating cycle. So that means they have art once or twice a week and the class periods are 45 minutes long. Our studies are on a 3 year curriculum cycle that cover various periods in time, art of different cultures, and computer generated art.
