Homeschooling
101 & 102 meetings
Tri-City Home Educators will be offering a special seminar. Homeschooling 101
will be Thursday, August 20 at 6:45pm. They will help you answer the question “Is Homeschooling Right
for My Family?” and give reasons why a family might choose this path for education. During “Where
do we go from here?” at 8:00pm, we will touch on topics such as learning styles, curriculum,
record keeping, scheduling, testing, Oklahoma laws, and more will be covered. This will be followed with
a Q & A time. (You may also feel free to come to only one of these seminars if the other does not interest you.) This
is open to the public, not just our members. This seminar will be in the Children’s Sanctuary at
Woodland Hills Baptist Church in Newcastle. (Church is ¼ mile south of Highways 76 and 130.

Homeschooling through High School
On Tuesday, August 25 at 7pm, we
will have a special speaker come and explain “Homeschooling Through High School”. Mrs. Cindy Nicolai of OCHEC
will present the requirements and some of the many options for completing them for testing and graduation. She will also address
preparing for college and/or career. The second half of this seminar will be Q & A. We will also have information and
handouts from various colleges available. Even if your child is only in 7th grade, we encourage
you to come get this information sooner than later. And, BRING YOUR TEEN – this is their future we’re
talking about and much of this will be their decision! This is open to any homeschool family or those just
considering it. Spread the word! This seminar will be in the new Sanctuary at Woodland
Hills Baptist Church in Newcastle. (Church is ¼ mile south of Highways 76 and 130.
