Welcome! Are you a homeschooler living in Suffolk County, NY? Then this is the place for you! This list is meant to provide a forum where homeschooling families can connect with other homeschoolers located on the eastern half of Long Island. THIS LIST IS OPEN TO HOMESCHOOLERS FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND HOMESCHOOLING METHODOLOGIES. I am leaving this list unmoderated, and request that we all treat each other with respect and tolerance. Hopefully moderation will not become necessary. Please keep in mind when responding to posted messages that those who join this list are looking for SUPPORT.

Some topics that may be discussed on this list include: Planning field trips and other events, resources and opportunities available to homeschoolers in Suffolk County, finding other homeschoolers with similar interests, understanding and dealing with NY state homeschooling regulations, first hand experiences with specific school districts, suggestions for writing IHIPs and quarterly reports, and varying homeschooling approaches and curriculums.

This list may stray off topic.
