kristin0713 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) I'm trying to help my brother and his wife get started with homeschooling. They are pulling their upcoming 1st grader because of COVID. PA requires goals -- can anyone send me a sample of your goals for elementary school? I have read that it can be very general. I just want to see some examples that have been submitted and not challenged by the district as unacceptable.

Reefgazer Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Join a PA homeschoolers group and ask on their forums for assistance; you'll have more people to answer you there. I did that for NY when I thought we would be moving to NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
