Wichita Falls Home School Yahoo Groups

Yahoo Groups are a great way  to communicate with other home school families in our area.  These groups are all Private - meaning only members can see the messages and the calendars.  To join one of the Yahoo groups, click on the link and follow the directions to join.

The main Yahoo Group used by home schoolers in Texoma is the first listed below.  There are lots of comments, questions, and ideas sent out on this loop. 

If you are only wanting the bare bones information, you may want to join only Just the Facts loop; no chat on that one.  If you are interested in a specific group such as Enrichment or 4-H, be sure to join the loop for that group as well.

Periodically, a new group is added for a class or project.  Those will be listed in the files section of the Main Wichita Falls Area Home Schoolers Yahoo Group and on this page.  These are the groups active as of Spring 2009.

Just the Facts
Too much email? you can get "just the facts" about all the events and activities with none of the chatting. You will need to remain a member of the main group (set your delivery to special notices) so you still have access to the information and support here, only with fewer emails.
