Timber Trail - New Staff 26-27

My name is Luann Kenfield, and I am thrilled to be joining Timber Trail Elementary as your new school counselor. I bring a background in both education and mental health counseling, and I am excited to support students, staff, and families in this new role.

I have worked as an elementary school counselor in Douglas County for the past seven years, most recently serving the staff and community at Summit View Elementary in Highlands Ranch.

Prior to becoming a school counselor, I taught primary grades in Jefferson County for many years. During that time, I earned my master’s degree in K–12 School Counseling. Later, I decided to expand my knowledge and skills by returning to school to earn a second master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I also earned my LPC license, which has further strengthened my ability to support students’ social-emotional and mental health needs.

I was born and raised here in Colorado and feel very fortunate to call this beautiful state home. A fun fact about my family is that both of my parents were also born and raised in Colorado, making me a second-generation Colorado native!

My husband, Rick, works as a courier in Colorado, and we have a daughter who will be turning 22 in September. She recently graduated from University of Colorado Boulder (Go Buffs!) with a degree in Psychology. We also have two cats, Whiskers and Peaches, whom we adopted as kittens in 2023. They keep our family entertained with their playful personalities.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, going on walks, listening to music, reading, working on art projects, and enjoying dinner or movies with friends. I am so excited to become part of the Timber Trail community and look forward to getting to know all of you in the coming year!

My name is Skye Johnson, and I am absolutely thrilled to be serving as your school psychologist here at Timber Trail this upcoming school year! I am looking forward to joining this vibrant community and working alongside you to support the well-being and success of your child.

In my practice, I focus heavily on a strengths-based approach. Rather than just looking at challenges, I love digging deeper to discover what makes each child unique and building on those natural talents. By highlighting what students already do best, we can help them use those skills to tackle hurdles, build genuine confidence, and find real joy in learning. Outside of school, you can usually find me skiing, hiking, traveling, dancing, playing music, or hanging out with my cat :).

Here is a quick look at what I am focused on for the year ahead:

■ Supporting Social and Emotional Growth: I want to ensure every student feels seen and supported. Through individual check-ins, small groups, and classroom activities, I’ll be helping students build resilience, develop healthy social skills, and grow a strong sense of self.

■ Building Strong Home-School Connections: You know your child best, and teamwork is everything. I am always here to share resources, brainstorm strategies, or just listen, so please never hesitate to reach out.

■ Creating a Welcoming, Respectful Community: I am deeply committed to making sure every single student feels fully included in all aspects of school life. Together, we will foster an environment rooted in mutual respect, kindness, and empathy: a place where every child genuinely feels they belong and are valued for exactly who they are.

I can’t wait to get to know each of you and your wonderful children. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have questions, concerns, or just want to chat about how we can make this year successful for your child!

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead—thank you for your support and partnership!

Warmest regards and big smiles,

Miss. Skye Johnson

I also have a passion for center based programs. Helping students build communication skills is especially meaningful to me as I believe communication is the foundation for learning, connection, and success. I look forward to collaborating with staff, supporting students and families, and becoming a part of the Timber Trail community!
