CNY Mom new to home schooling

[Mama_Bear]

Hello Everyone,
I live in Syracuse, NY. I am the proud mom of seven. All five of my older children have attended traditional school (4 have graduated and 1 is currently in middle school). I now find the need to home school my two younger children since I do not want to continue to set my 8 year old up for failure. He seems to do much better with his school work when he is able to sit home with me 1:1 or through simply taking advantage of everyday life lessons to teach him. I have also decided that my 5 year old daughter will benfit from being home schooled has well. Since we are new to home schooling I could always use helpful advice on how to navigate what is needed by our local school district. Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the group Mama Bear. I also have a large family. I have five adult children and an 8 year old. My little one has never been in school. I also have three grandchildren who are being homeschooled. Fell free to ask any questions you might have, especially about those dreaded IHIP's. We're here to help.
