any others from North Pole or Fairbanks area on here? we are in year one, K, just getting to where I have some actual REAL questions!
Hey there! This is my first year also. I have two girls ages 3 and 10. Welcome and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Are you at Luke or DM? we may end up there! If you come to AK they pay for your homeschool curriculum and supplies!
Welcome Kristen. I have kids in 5th (ds), 2nd (dd), K (dd) and an almost 3yo (dd). THis is our 3rd year hs'ing. We're glad to have you here!
Hi and welcome....I am Leslie. I have a ds11 and a dd9 and we are in our 2nd year of hs. Looking forward to hearing from you! Just jump right in anytime!
Thank you. We are finding that the curriculum is not as challenging as we thought it would be so are making adjustments here and there. It appears that sometimes it is a bad thing to have been 'free schooling' him from day one when it comes to keeping him in range of his appropriate age/grade!
Welcome! I think I mentioned in another thread that I've been to Cordova, but that's still quite some distance from you! When I was in college, I actually wrote to the Alaska Dept. of Education, and got the addresses of all the school districts in the state. But then, I never followed through. I think I was just in a funk at the time, and the thought of going back home to boring central Ohio, plus sort of "breaking up" with this guy, etc. made me want something "different" in my life, and I had always wanted to go to Alaska! (Sorry, I'm rambling!) So since you get your curriculum free, are you required to use what they give you, or can you chose whatever you want? Does the government consider you a public school student being taught at home, or are you independent to do what you want? I'm asking out of curiousity. It won't change your welcome here in any way. We have all kinds here, from the very independent, to distant learning, to "school at home", to some who actually attend public school. But regardless, all of us want the best for our kids and are willing to do what we feel is best to provide it!
we go thru the Yukon Koyukuk school district.........I just barely started a thread about it but since I am new this will not let me link you to it, bummer our group is Raven School and they are, as you can see from their website (Raven School dot com) is very helpful and easy to deal with

Welcome! dh and I always had a fondness in our hearts for Alaska and have often thought how wonderful it would be to live there in so many ways. So glad you have joined us, it's a great place to talk about stuff you're doing and hear what others are doing.
