Good Morning.
I have twin boys heading into Grade 7. I have been home schooling since February, so we are very new to all of this.
I also have a 9 year old who will be at Crowders Creek Elementary. I would need to be home to collect him from school, I am concerned about the crossover of time. Could my sons leave early or could I leave to get my other son and return for my twin boys?
I would nit wish to teach this year, but would be willing to help in anyway I can.
If you have any additional information I woukd really appreciate it.
Kind Regards
Carolyn Brien
