Principal's Message
I am pleased that you came to visit the Theron & Naomi Goynes Elementary School web site! This web site was designed particularly for the students, parents and teachers in our school and community. The scope of the site and the information available will continue to grow. We have designed this website to be family friendly and have included many features. Our collective hope is that this website will be another effective way that we can let you know what is happening at the school as we work together during the 2011-2012 School year. The resources found here will help you know more about school policies, plans and the calendar of events at our school. It also provides another way for you to contact your child's teacher or the school office.
Let me take a moment and share with you a little about myself. Over the years, as a teacher, assistant principal and principal, students have called me Mr. Hi. My last name is pronounced Hi-bargrrr. I have been an educator for sixteen years and my teaching experiences have included primary age and intermediate age students including G.A.T.E. students. I am pleased to be a native Nevadan and I have seen Las Vegas change in so many remarkable ways. I have three children (two boys and a girl ) who range in ages from twelve, twenty-one and twenty-three. My wife and I have been married for 26 years. Living in Nevada has provided my family with so many wonderful memories, and life long friends.
I continue to believe that children are the very future of our state, country and world and what we do for them and the educational system within Nevada will impact our community, state and the world in so many vital ways. I am committed to do all that I can to assist in providing a excellent education opportunity for each student that attends Goynes Elementary School. As we continue the 2011-2012 school year, please feel free to contact me or your child's teacher should you have concerns or questions related to your child's education. I know that the work we do together can have lasting impact in the life of your child and the entire student community at Goynes ES. Please do not hesitate to contact me, as we work together and as we continue to provide the instructional program at Theron & Naomi Goynes Elementary School. Thank you for visiting.
Throughout this school year, I will add information to this page. It is important for parents or guardians to know that Nevada has adopted the Common Core State Standards. A large majority of the states in the United States have adopted these standards for instruction. This is the first year of the implementation of the Common Core State Standards in Nevada. Our theme this school year is "Get to the Core." Below you will see a logo that will be posted throughout the school to remind our stakeholders of our ongoing goal to increase student achievement and that the most important "Core" purpose of a school is to increase and manage each students increased achievement and growth. The logo includes systems that have been adopted at our school and within the Clark County School District that focus our team on the primary goal of student achievement. We hope that all parents and guardians will learn about the Common Core State Standards and that as a staff we can help each child as we fully adopt the Common Core State Standards and implement instructional objectives that are completely aligned with these rigorous standards. Please do not hesitate to speak to your child's teacher or to me if you have any questions about the Common Core State Standards.
You can contact me by calling the school at: 702-799-1770, or by filling out the contact form on the contact me page of this site. You are also welcome to come by the school and ask to speak to me.
Best wishes for the 2011-2012 School year!
