A culture and climate of kindness and positivity is valued. Safety is a top priority; the vigilance of staff and parents allows our students to feel safe and comfortable at school and focused on their academics, social needs and emotional growth.

Communication and engagement are priorities at Hynes. Information is easily accessible on the district website and online parent portal. Phone calls, notes and meetings keep parents informed of their children’s achievements and challenges.
