-> You can only do so much...
No one can be everywhere at once. And you can't be at home,
teaching your children, while monitoring your state's legislature.
Through electronic legislative services, HSLDA is monitoring state
legislation for you -- watching and listening carefully for any
proposed laws that could erode your right to homeschool.
Join HSLDA today-we'll watch out for your future.

in October, contacting the school now will enable them to order a test
for your teen. More details regarding the PSAT are available in the

Untangle the confusion of creating transcripts. This week, Inge Cannon

high student gain high school credit to tailoring the transcript to
your particular homeschool program, these Home School Heartbeat
programs will clarify the documentation process.
