General Resource Information

For general resources regarding homeschooling or local school district information, please try the Ohio Valley Homeschooling Families (Wheeling, WV) Facebook page.

OVCHE member, once approved, please join the OVCHE Members Facebook page.  

We understand many in our group do not use social media; therefore, if you are not on Facebook or do not find the help you are looking for, please feel free to email [email protected]. We will try to connect you with someone who can assist you. However, as a volunteer-led organization, our leaders and members do not claim to have any legal or professional expertise in homeschooling. State homeschooling laws continue to evolve and change annually; therefore, your best resource for up-to-date information is your official state homeschool organization or the HSLDA (Homeschool Legal Defense Association) for state-specific guidelines.
