Let’s get ready to start an exciting year of learning!! Please take pictures of your student(s) learning at home, attending concurrent enrollment, field trips, events, etc., and send to info@scahomeschool.net to help our Homeschool community celebrate with you. We look forward to enjoying your students' experiences!
COMMUNITY CONNECTION OPPORTUNITIES
This year we plan to offer more field trips, events, and free clubs to students, so they have opportunities to connect with other students. Please note, to open our Community Connection links you must have an active Gmail account. Select "Read More" to create your OWN Gmail account.
STUDENT WORKSPACE
Creating a homeschool environment conducive to learning at home is invaluable. We realize that square footage is at a premium, since some households have multiple people requiring space. From children being homeschooled to parents who may be working from home to the many other uses our homes provide, we still think it best to create a small space, at minimum, for your student to use. A place where students have access to a table or desk and a place to store curriculum, notebooks, supplies, etc. It limits distractions for your students. It will also assist your student with concentrating on their assignments and establish order, thus helping with developing their organizational skills.
UNIFORMS
Here is the information for ordering SHABACH! uniform shirts. All students should have 1-2 shirts for attending onsite classes, events, clubs, chapel, field trips, etc. Jeans with no holes are acceptable bottoms.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Students observed struggling with the onsite course content after 3 weeks, will be advised to hire a private tutor for their student moving forward. We do not want to hinder the success of any student, so, you also may be asked to withdraw your student from the class to pursue a more individualized plan. Parents will be notified via email and/or a phone call by the teacher.
