What you can expect from Ms. Hinchey!

I make it my job to make sure all students are safe when they are on the 
internet. I teach them how to be Cybersmart or safe online. I strive to teach 
my students to follow the District 300 Technology Policy. Students will 
learn how to be respectful, cautious, appropriate, and use common sense 
while using technology at school and in their personal lives.
