Give us your feedback in this survey and your ideas may be printed in the 20-21 school planners!
Academic Video Library
Instructions to access Academic Video Library can be found here.
Parents learned a bit during last Wednesday’s Inspiring Parents webcast, which asked the questions: Am I Doing Enough? Am I Doing This Right?. The session was recorded. It helps a lot if you click on the link below, it automatically collects your email into a spreadsheet. This makes it easier to respond to the hundreds of requests for the link to the webcast recording and resources. http://bit.ly/InspiringParents_010820
On February 5, we focus on writing.

Audrey Everson
Hi everyone! I am a mom of 3 awesome kids ranging in age from 11 to 7 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for 17 years. Having homeschooled our children over the last 7 years in 3 different states, I've found homeschooling here in California, especially with Inspire Charter, has been a great fit for our homeschool journey. I am grateful for our ability to homeschool so freely and I aspire to assist other families with their own homeschool adventures!
