Inland NW Home school Conference
The excitement can be felt as we celebrate the beginning of another year of homeschooling at the annual Fall Kick-Off event (formally known as the Open House). Whether you are starting your first year or your ninteenth year (like me), this is a night you don’t want to miss. We make it easy for you, you don’t need to pre-register, the event is free and cookies and coffee are provided.
The Fall Kick-Off will be held at the Church of God, 2929 N. Freya on September 7, 2010 at 7:00 pm. Bring your friends, family, anyone you know that is interested in home educating. DiAnna Brannan from the Christian Homeschool Network of Washington will share a special message with us. You will be able to find information on the many events, clubs, classes, and activities that are available to VHS members. See you there! Oh, about those cookies, we do need some volunteers who would like to bake a couple dozen cookies for this event. If you can help out in that way, please let Liz know.
Valley Home Scholars is a support group or a networking group for homeschooling families. We do not teach your children or maintain any educational records. All the activities that you find here are planned by the members of VHS.
If you are finding this website for the first time, take a look around. You are not seeing everything that VHS has to offer. Many things are reserved for members only, but you can still get a good idea of what our group does.
If you have any questions about our group or homeschooling, please feel free to e-mail us at vhs@valleyhomescholars.org. E-mails are responded to Monday - Friday generally within 24 hours, so if you don't hear back from us, please resend your message.

Valley Home Scholars has a limited supply of Home School Planners/Record Books. Some home school families use these books to plan out the upcoming school year. Other families use the books as a record of what is done each school day. There is a 12 month calendar in the front that can be used to keep track of "school days". There are resource pages in the back of the book that are very useful to the students.
We have two different types of planners available:
- Elementary Custom School Planner features a five-day week, two page design with pre-printed subject names, a parent/teacher comment area, weekly spelling words area and showcases a different state each week.
- Middle Custom School Planner features a seven-day week, two page design with pre-printed subject names, a parent/teacher comment area, weekly spelling words area plus inspirational quotes.
These planners are $5.00 each and you can arrange for purchase by contacting VHS by e-mail.
Mom's Night Out will be starting up again Thursday, September 16th and will continue to meet the 3rd Thursday of every month for a time of fellowship and encouragement. We meet at Liferoads Church, located at 4209 East Pacific Ave. For our first meeting we’ll talk about organization, scheduling, lesson plans and share tips for how to start the year off relaxed and ready. We’ll talk about some of our hopes and goals for this new year of home schooling. It will be a wonderful time of encouragement, fun, fellowship, and food. Please e-mail Jenny with questions.
