PLEASE NOTE HOMESCHOOL TEST
SERVICE HAS BECOME:
HOMESCHOOL TESTING SERVICES!
www.homeschooltestingservices.com
A Note From Val Howard:
Homeschool Test Service
has now become Homeschool Testing Services, Inc., a part of
Classical Conversations, Inc. located in North Carolina and begun over
10 years ago by my good friend, Leigh Bortins. Homeschool Testing
Services, Inc. will basically provide the same service to Washington
homeschooling families as HTS has done for the past 25 years. They will be
offering the new, updated 10th edition of the Stanford
Achievement Test for this spring’s testing season; many of you have been
asking when the SAT 10 would be available and now it will be.
The only real difference you will see is
that ALL registration will be online through Homeschool Testing Services,
Inc.; registration will not be done through your local test coordinator
as it has been done in the past. For most of you, this will be a blessing!
But, if there are any families who can not register online, please contact
your local test coordinator and she will work with you to ensure that your
children will be tested as in the past. As always, registration will begin
in January.
On a personal note:
I am REALLY going to miss operating HTS, working with the fantastic HTS test
coordinators, and seeing and, of course, chatting with all the wonderful
families and children at each test site. You all have been such a blessing
to me and this change has not occurred with out much prayer and
consideration. But, God is partially closing the homeschooling chapter of
my life and moving me in another direction. I am not completely sure what
the next phase of my life holds, but I do know it will involve quite a bit
of international travel with my husband. Our daughter, Alison, is married
and living in Honduras. Our son, Stephen, is teaching English at a
university in SW China and has no plans to return permanently to the US in
the near future. Never did I think 25+ years ago when I began my
homeschooling journey that we would be using John’s accrued air miles to
visit our children on two different continents!!
I do, however, plan to continue offering my
Testing Time presentations to co-ops or support groups as well
as doing the WHO sponsored Alternative Education vs Homeschooling
presentations with Janice Hedin. It is too hard for me to completely close
this chapter of my life!

Blessings on each and every one of you,
