When you are starting with homeschooling, often parents want to make sure that all I's are dotted and T's are crossed. They want to make sure that they child isn't missing anything or falling behind. And the truth is, education is supposed to be individualized; it's supposed to be encouraging; it's supposed to be enjoyable! And yes there are certain things we need to do to make sure that we cover all the basics but when kids find that learning is something they can enjoy and they can dive deeper into their own interest areas, then school doesn't have to be a fight!

Here are some great resources to you started on this homeschooling journey...

Step 1 - Contact your School District

We found that our school district had an entire packet all put together with the forms needed to withdraw a student.
