Hello everyone, from our LMS family to yours, we hope you are all doing well.
In an effort to make it easy to access our online resources, the school district has added a section to its website called “Distance Learning”. To access Distance Learning, click on, or copy and paste into your web browser, the following link
https://www.hendry-schools.org/Page/7941 . On this page you will find links to Google Documents from your child’s teachers. These Google Documents will provide information your child will need to access their digital content. These Google Documents will be updated with the latest information, so be sure to check frequently. The weekly plan will be added the Friday prior to the next week's lessons.
To access all of the information, you will need to be logged into your school Gmail account.
