We are a Parent Partnership Program where parents of home schooled children and teachers from the Deer Park School District work together to define the educational goals and materials our parents and students use at home. The first session of Home Link started in September 2000 with 38 students. Today, we have over 500 students. We also provide core and enrichment classes at our Deer Park and Clayton campuses.

MEMO - March 8th - 12th, 2010

HOME LINK MEMO
MARCH 8TH – 12TH, 2010

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
This would be a great time to send thank you notes to the members of the House Ways and Means Committee and your district representatives for reinstating funding for ALE programs. Handwritten notes from children (maybe with their pictures) would be powerful. Again, thank you to all who took the time to be involved. I’m sure there will be more opportunities in the future!
