I signed up for an account on the website, but when I click a link nothing happens or I'm sent back to my account page.

For the safety of all HSR! families, each member requires approval by an admin before they can access event registrations and details. Some pages are available to the public, but member-only pages will not be accessible until your account has been approved.
If you signed up more than 48 hours ago, please send an email to info@homeschoolrocksfm.com to ensure that your registration was received. Occasionally, we may reach out for more information regarding your registration.

Where do I register for an event?

Our events are separated into several categories. Visit the page for the type of event for which you wish to register. Select "Calendar" on the menu, then choose the type of event you are looking for. If registration is open, a "register" button will appear next to the event.

I see all of the event details, but there is no "Register" button.

Registration for this event is not open. It may not have opened yet (check our facebook page, and sign up for the newsletter for updates) or it may have closed due to full enrollment or our headcount deadline.

How do I register for an event?

1. Make your free account at homeschoolrocksfm.com. Your account requires approval, which may take up to 48 hours.
2. Select "Calendar" on the menu, then choose the event type you wish to register for.
3. Read descriptions, age recommendations, cost and details for the offered events.
4. Click the "Register Now" button and fill in the form.
5. Check your email for registration confirmation (check your spam and promotions folder, if you do not receive a confirmation, email info@homeschoolrocksfm.com)
6. Click the "Pay Now" button or the link in your email to submit payment and reserve your registration.

What forms of payment can I use?

We use Paypal to process our credit card payments. If you do not have a paypal account, you can still checkout as a guest and use any major credit card. Cash or check is not preferred, and must be received prior to headcount deadlines.

The event I want to attend is full, can I be placed on a waitlist?

We rarely have cancellations, but when we do a post will be made on Facebook and the spots will be released first come-first served. We do not keep a running waitlist for any events.

I paid for an event, but now I can't attend. Can I receive a refund?

Refunds will not be issued once prepayment or headcounts have been submitted (usually once registration is closed), unless you can find a replacement for your reservation - often we can assist you.
Any leftover funds at the end of the year, are placed in a scholarship fund for homeschoolers who need financial assistance to participate in some of our programs.

Who plans the events?

Allison and Amanda are the main organizers of Homeschool Rocks! events. Occasionally, other members coordinate with us to plan an event. HSR! Clubs are planned exclusively by members after the club has received HSR! approval.
All activities in Homeschool Rocks! are planned and organized by volunteers who do not receive fiscal compensation.

Can I drop my student off?

For liability reasons, students cannot be dropped off at Homeschool Rocks! events. In many cases, you can send your student with the group as long as you stay on premises.

For drop-off opportunities, see Camp HSR! (Camp HSR! is a separate, but affiliated organization.)

What should I do if I won't be able to attend an event?

Let us know via email, text, facebook message or post as soon as you can. If we have time, we can try to fill your spot so families who were unable to register in time have the opportunity to attend. If it is a last minute cancellation, then we'll know we shouldn't wait for you to arrive and can be courteous to our hosts.

For free events, we do require at least one hour notice that you will not be attending. If you fail to notify us, our No Show-No Call Policy will be in effect, and a $10 fee will be charged to your account. Your account will be suspended until the fee is paid.

Where can I see what events are planned?
