Welcome to the AFE Family Handbook development wiki. Clicking on links will take you to what has been currently written for a section, which you are free to add on to or revise. Feel free to just type a few notes which can be converted later into grammatical content. Red links have nothing written for them at all and will take you directly to a page where you may edit that article. Blue links have content, but most of them are incomplete. We could use some short overview chapters for several parts, especially facilities, finances, high school credits, testing, other schools, learning options outside AFE. There is now a paper copy of the beginnings of this Family Handbook in the RC on the checkout counter ! There is more detailed help built into the wiki system, but if you just want a quick rundown of what you are most likely to want to know for using this, click here.
