Is your home all ready to start school, if you haven't already?
Is your CPI form filled out and submitted? It needs to be submitted, according to NICHE, by the first day of school in the school district you are living in.
Did you get confused by the lead testing requirements or the dental/vision screening law? Don't be, The lead testing requirement ONLY applies to homeschoolers if you are filling out a CPI form for a child under the age of 6. Legally a CPI form is not required until the child is 7. There may be a few instances when someone would feel the need to fill out a CPI for the child younger than 6, but this would not be the normal. http://www.the-niche.org/Pages/faq.html#healthscreen gives the explaination step by step to determine if you need to do the lab testing.
And what about the dental and vision screening that was also passed by the legislature? There is a specific homeschool excemption in there so it does not affect homeschool kids at all.
Have you got all your curriculum? Need some last minute used curriculum from somewhere? Try the HSLDA used curriculum auction site at http://market.hslda.org/auction/xcAuction.asp. E-bay also always has used curriculum at http://www.ebay.com . Don't have time for an auction? Some of my favorite sites for used curriculum are Used Homeschool Curriculum at http://www.homeschoolclassifieds.com/. Vegsource has for sale boards at http://www.vegsource.com/homeschool/ . Do a google searach and you will find lots more. New curriculum may be the quickest curriculum you can find, and they are numerous and multiple. A google search will give you more than you want to check out.
Got to go mediate a "discussion" between two kids. Talk at ya later.
