New School Year

We homeschooled during the 2020-2021 academic year, and we will continue to homeschool during the 2021-2022 school year.  My plan is to homeschool at least until end of December when my youngest will be fully vaccinated, but we will re-evaluate and see who wants to do what when. The Public School semester ends at the end of January, so the earliest they would try public school is the beginning of February.
