-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.
