Looking to start the school year refreshed? Homeschoolers of varying levels are invited to the Syracuse Public Library for Homeschool 101, which will help families stay updated on current homeschooling laws, curriculum options and available resources.
Homeschooling parents can choose between attending one of two sessions. The first session is from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Aug. 23, and will feature speakers Kathy Balke, Indiana Association of Home Educators Region 2 representative; Anita Buck, early learners reading and math; Rebekah Sceniak, SPL’s homeschool class teacher; Ashley Weaver, presenter of the Joyful Noise Learning YouTube channel; and Deb Cotton, owner of Care Books and More in New Paris.

An evening session will follow from 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 24. It will feature the same speakers except for Cotton, who will leave information behind for Thursday’s attendees.
​
Both sessions will feature a resource table that homeschoolers can explore. These sessions will occur in the downstairs meeting room.
