Homeschool Tip for August:
Be sure you're legal!  Every state in the union has its own home education laws.  Check on the laws in your state at the Home School Legal Defense Association web site.  Be sure you have all the requirements met, before the school year starts.  If you are moving to a new area, be sure to notify the school superintendent's office before you even move there, if such registration is required in your state.
