Come one, come all! Our February support meeting is on February 9, and it is all about TESTING! We will discuss the many options we have for annual testing (which is required by the state of North Carolina), how to acquire the necessary tests, and try to ease your unease about testing.

Please come if you have questions about the test, and we will try to help you. Please come if you are a veteran of testing to help answer questions. Please come if you just want some adult interaction. This is always an informative – and fun – meeting.

A few notes to remember: This meeting is open to the public. If you are interested in learning about homeschooling, please join us! Children need to be with you or in the child-care room. If you do plan to leave your children with the child-care crew, please consider leaving a donation in the box. (We suggest $1 per child.)

We will be sharing with one another such topics as: “What do you want to change about your homeschool?” And “What are your kids’ favorites?” Or “What is the best homeschool tip you have received?” Or, perhaps you have a tip for re-igniting enthusiasm for learning when the routine if just feeling “blah!” Kim Holder even has some fun games (with prizes) for us to play!

AHSL's October Monthly Meeting

Round Table Homeschool Discussions

S.O.S…. Save Our Sanity…. Save Our Homeschool…. Sharing Our (Best)

Tips… However you look at it, our October support meeting is going to be a helpful – and fun- evening for  everyone. Be sure to mark your calendars and come join us on October 13. The meeting will be a round table discussion, which continues to be a popular event here at AHSL. We plan to tackle some challenging topics this month: “Help! I just started homeschooling, and I have QUESTIONS!!!” “Help! I have a high  school student, and I need to think about transcripts and record keeping???” “Help! I have little ones that are demanding and distracting, and I need to teach, too???” And many other questions will be discussed as well. As you can see, we’ll be discussing questions that many in our group have pondered. WE WANT YOU to come if you are able. Seasoned homeschoolers can offer a lot of insight to those of us with more questions than answers. New members to AHSL have a super opportunity to get some answers to those niggling questions as well as meet some new friends.

Our evening meetings are open to the public
