It is not necessary to belong to a homeschooling support group. If you choose to join a homeschooling support group, spending time with the group makes it clear if it is a good fit or not. Ask questions about activities, membership and philosophy. Only you can decide if a homeschooling group is right for you and this may change over time.
WHPA provides information about homeschooling in Wisconsin. WHPA does not provide specific legal advice to any specific individuals in the context of any specific matters. It is the responsibility of each homeschool administrator/parent or guardian to read original source material and make decisions on compliance for themselves. When you file the PI-1206 Homeschool Report with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, you take full responsibility for understanding and complying with the laws outlined on that form. WHPA does not endorse or provide curriculum suggestions or specific materials for any particular educational approach.
