Tips for those who are looking at homeschooling because of the new pandemic conflicts. 

Transitioning to Homeschool? IDEA has been supporting families for 23 years and we’d love to be a part of your support system! We believe in parental choice and our contact teachers can help to guide you. Join the IDEA Field Rep, IDEA staff and fellow homeschool parents to explore and learn about homeschool learning modalities, options for types of homeschooling, resources that are available, and lots more!   We’ll answer, “How does it work if you join IDEA?”

Are you thinking of homeschooling with IDEA? Would you like a refresher on what is available to IDEA families? Whether a new family or a long time homeschooler, you are welcome to attend, listen and share!

Hi everyone!  Hope your summer is going well!  I just wanted to remind everyone that we have a PAC meeting tomorrow (July 14) at noon.  We will be meeting at the Polar Bear Playground on Pine Street (at the intersection of Pine Street and Eighth Ave).  There is a big parking lot, grassy areas, and the playground if any kids do come with us.  Masks will not be enforced but are suggested, and we will be able to social distance.  If you are able to bring a camp chair with you, that would be great, but we will have some extras if you are unable to.  I will be arriving at 11:30.  If anyone would like to come early to chat and hang out before the meeting, feel free to join me.  The meeting agenda and live comments are shared in our private facebook group.
