- Do you take walk-in appointments?

No. The Homeschool Coordinator is not available on campus unless an appointment has been scheduled. The Homeschool Office is used during school hours and is not available for homeschool meetings. Please contact the Homeschool Coordinator by email, rather than the day school administration, for answers to your questions.
-Do you provide your Parents with a Teacher I.D card?

Yes. Those are distributed at registration meetings or other times determined by the coordinator. These cards can be very useful when going on field trips or purchasing school supplies. Many locations give a teacher/student discount with proof of being a homeschool family.
