Why We’re Great:
Kinyon provides a family atmosphere where every child has multiple strong adult connections throughout the school. From bus drivers to the principal and everyone in between, WE care about ALL our Kinyon kiddos! Many have said, ‘I can feel the warmth when I walk in!’

What really makes Kinyon GREAT is our people! Our teachers and staff are FABULOUS! We are child-centered and truly believe ALL children CAN and DO learn when their basic needs are met, they are safe and cared about, and given the TOOLS to do so! Each and every single one of our Kinyon peeps work TOGETHER to create an environment that is safe, fun, and motivating for our children!

Principal’s Message
Greetings from Kinyon!
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs demonstrates that when a child’s basic needs are met, we can educate them. Feeling safe and loved are what our children need to learn and grow academically, socially and emotionally. Through being kind to each other, we can help them feel safe and loved.
We look forward to educating ALL of the Kinyon kids through high-expectations, rigorous curriculum, and highly effective teachers who are passionate and compassionate! Working closely with you, as a team, our combined efforts will pay off! Our kiddos will ROCK!
Kinyon is a SPECIAL place! We are a FAMILY and work together to create a culture with a foundation of KINDNESS.
Kinyon kids are especially kind.
Increasing positive interactions.
Need to belong is met.
Deciding to do the RIGHT thing.
Noticing and complimenting our peers.
Encouraging others.
Standing up for each other.
Seeking ways to show kindness.
Warm Regards,
Susan Sweet
Principal, Kinyon Elementary School
