Welcome to NWACHEA's MSN Group:

MESSAGE BOARDS:

All Northwest Arkansas Home Schoolers are invited to contribute to these Message Boards.  Our desire is to develop a data base that will continue to serve members of the group as well as new home schoolers who may join us.  The leaders of this website invite your help.  We feel that the information will be more accurate, more up-to-date with your input.

Please note that there is already an e-mail group serving Northwest Arkansas home schoolers.  We invite you to join that group to send and receive daily home schooling messages.  

The intent of the NWACHEA MSN Message Boards is to develop and store data, not to carry on daily messaging.  Please enter topics only relevant to the titles listed below.  

Once you become a member of the MSN group, you can receive individual or digest messages for any new posts entered on the board.

Non-Members may browse the message board content, but in order to post messages, share your pictures, chat, or receive announcements, you must become a member.

Joining a group is quick, easy, and best of all, free. You will have to complete a short form and accept the Code of Conduct.  Click on "Join Now" at http://groups.msn.com/homeschooler/messages.msnw or choose "Sign-In" (at the top of the screen), if you already have a user name and password.

The first step in joining this group is telling MSN who you are. You do this through your unique .NET Passport. The .NET Passport is used to develop your sign-in name and password to identify you.  Note:  You do *not* have to sign-up for a Hotmail account.  You may use your own personal e-mail address.
