Welcome to a great year of homeschooling!
With our new Student ID Card program we hope to give you and your child several important benefits. First, we want your child to feel the connection to our school and the community of learners that he or she is now part of. The student ID card, which recognizes that your child is enrolled in an accredited homeschooling program, will be mailed to your child automatically within a few weeks of enrollment.
Secondly, we want to offer your family discounts and other savings opportunities with companies who offer quality products that can be used to further your child’s education. Below are the details of the special offers we have put together for you. We are working on several more partnerships with an exciting and diverse group of retailers and attractions, so check this page often to see what new opportunities are available.
If you have questions about our ID card program, please call us at 1-888-487-4652. Thank you for enrolling, and have a wonderful year.

Pizza Hut BOOK IT!
The BOOK IT! Program is a reading incentive program created by Pizza Hut in 1985. The program is available to elementary schools at no cost. More than 900,000 classrooms, approximately 22 million students, currently enroll in the six-month program each school year.
The BOOK IT! Program starts October 1 and ends March 31 of each school year and is available to grades K-6. Enrollment is open to Homeschool families, and they generally extend the enrollment deadline to early September, or as long as supplies last.
You will set a monthly reading goal for each K-6 child you homeschool. As soon as the monthly reading goal has been met, you give your child the Pizza Award Certificate, which you then take to a Pizza Hut® restaurant. He or she is congratulated by the manager or service team and given a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza®. On the first visit, your child also receives a BOOK IT! card with clip and a sticker for the card. There is no purchase necessary and the pizza can be taken to go.
On each subsequent visit, your child is again congratulated and given another Personal Pan Pizza and a sticker to recognize reading achievement If the child meets the reading goals all six months of the program, he or she is awarded a BOOK IT! All-Star Reader Award at Pizza Hut. To find the Pizza Hut nearest to you, click here.
