New to Home Schooling?
First of all, congratulations! You are about to embark on one of the most rewarding experiences of your life! Below is a short list to things to do to get started:
You will need to:
-
Write a letter of intent. Writing the letter is as easy as 1, 2 3! Start by using the example letter below.
-
Mail the letter RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED to the county school board so you know it was delivered to the Superintendent of the county in which you reside.
-
Keep samples of your work for every subject you cover that year. Field trips and books read are also good lists to keep.
-
Contact our own Ms. Christie to schedule a YEAR-END evaluation and then send a copy of that to your school board. You have one year to send it to them after you register. This needs to be done every year you home school.
-
Should your child graduate or choose a different form of education, please send a TERMINATION letter to your county school board. There is a sample copy listed below. Hang on to any grades and transcript that you make for the next academic year.
Remember, we are here to help you with education, leadership training and character building. Take a look at our extensive class list and let us know how best we can serve you.
Blessings to you and your family on your exciting journey!
