Parent2Parent Hotline

(Every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)

Sometimes you just have a question that you'd like to ask another parent. If you have a question about working with your student, using the curriculum, setting up your school space, time management, using the Online School or LMS, student motivation, or just getting through your day, log in to ask your question of a real parent who is there just for you! You're not alone! If we don't have the answer, we can help you find out where to look!

Talking Parent2Parent

We know that sometimes it's just nice to sit around the table and share ideas and strategies with other parents who are schooling at home. But can you do it in a virtual education setting? You betcha!

Talking Parent2Parent is just that! Twice monthly, Terri and Lori will be hosting some open time to just drop in and share with other parents who speak our K¹² language. Come with a question and bounce it off other parents who have come for the same reason. Come with an idea to share. Or just come and visit. Pop in any time during the open-office time and stay as long as you like. This is a time to come and be supportive and helpful to one another and find support and help in return. Bring your coffee, tea or water and pull up a chair! Terri and Lori look forward to visiting with you and other parents from across the nation and around the world!

These are just a few of the workshops, resources and programs available each and every month. The complete schedule of events and information can be found at K¹² Start. Look for the link in the announcement section of your OLS . 

Spend a few minutes exploring our newest parent resource and you will find a treasure trove of help and information!
