Homeschooling with PIE

 

PIE’s Vision for the 2025–2026 School Year

Message from the Director,

At Palmetto Independent Educators (PIE), our mission is to provide parent-teachers with affordable, non-intrusive support while ensuring legal compliance and empowering families to homeschool with confidence.

For the 2025–2026 school year, our focus is on process management, communication, and expanding resources to make homeschooling easier and more effective.

Here’s what’s coming this year:

  • Middle School Resources – Parent-Teacher Strategies, Planning Sixth Thru Eighth Grade: Setting Up for Success, Assessment & Placement Resources, plus improved navigation.
  • High School Resources – My Journey: Reaching New Heights, Parent-Teacher Strategies, Planning Ninth Thru Twelfth Grade: Setting Up for Success, Assessment Resources, and improved navigation.
  • DebraLee AI Support Agent – Multiple versions of our AI consultant will be trained to assist members in finding accurate, content-specific information quickly.
  • Transcript Service – Continued focus on educating parent-teachers about the benefits of this resource, with full transparency to help families make confident decisions.
  • Additional Projects – A new Email Notification system and a comprehensive High School Guidebook.

PIE is committed to walking alongside homeschooling families with resources that are practical, accessible, and designed to support every step of the journey.

Respectfully,

Denise Merchant
