About Me
Hello! My name is Lydia Hindman. I am originally from Ft. Worth, Texas, but Prattville has been home for almost 30 years. I am married to Mark Hindman and have three sons, Caleb, Stephen and Daniel, who attended Autauga County schools. They are now an attorney, aerospace engineer in the U.S. Space Force and chemist! We also are also blessed to have 3 wonderful daughters-in-law and 5 grandchildren! This is my 21st year at Pine Level Elementary. Thank you for the privilege of teaching your child. I love teaching children to read and helping them learn to LOVE reading and learning! My hobbies include reading, baking, singing, playing the piano, and spending as much time as I can with my grandchildren!

Important Info.
Take-Home Books
Your child will be bringing books home a couple of days a week. Please read the book to your child, write the book on the reading log and return the book inside the bag the next day. Reading to your child is very important. Your child will enjoy it and it will encourage him/her to want to become a reader! When reading log is completed, please take out and place in front pocket of binder. A new log will be placed in binder and your child will go to the treat box!!
ATTENDANCE- It is important for your child to be at school each day unless sick. Please schedule all doctor/dentist appointments in the afternoon. If your child checks out after 11:35 he will be marked "present" for the day.
