Sydney Hendrick
Early Childhood Special Education Teacher
Great Beginnings at Barry Elementary
Hello, Barry Elementary families-- I am Miss Hendrick! I have always known I've wanted to be a teacher ever since I was little. My passion for preschool began when I started as a preschool paraprofessional in 2020. There, I found I especially loved working with young children with special needs. I received my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Special Education at Fort Hays State University in 2024. Now, I am pursuing my master's in Early Childhood Special Education & Autism at Mizzou. I am beyond excited to say I have found my dream placement here at Platte County in Early Childhood Special Education!
Beyond education, I really enjoy art and music. I've played piano my whole life, I love drawing, painting, puzzles, and just about any crafts! I am truly looking forward to bringing my love for the arts into my classroom and helping my students discover their creative passion!
