A Message for 7th Grade Students and Parents
All 7th grade students need a pair of earbuds they can use for school, as we are consistently using technology in science class.
Also, you can log into your academic Gmail account from home to access your Google Classroom and Google Drive. It's as easy as three simple steps:
1. Go to gmail.com and click sign in
2. Enter your 104 account username AND @fhacademics.org into the username box and click Next.
Example for John Smith = 104jsmith@fhacademics.org
3. Enter your 104 account password into the password box and click Sign In.
This will allow you access to your Google Classroom and Drive. Many homework and classwork assignments are posted and saved in these two locations. |
