Home-Based Instruction

At the beginning of the school year, each parent whose child is receiving home-based instruction for that school year must file a Declaration of Intent to Home School by September 15 of the school year or throughout the year as they decide to provide home-based instruction.

Request for Part-Time Attendance or Ancillary Services

Resident students receiving home-based instruction or enrolled in private school are permitted to enroll and receive ancillary services, provided that such students are otherwise eligible for full-time enrollment in the school district, all instruction and services must take place in the attendance area school. Private school students may request courses or services that are not available in the student’s private school or an approved extension. Students receiving home-based instruction and private school students requesting courses or ancillary services from the district,  will need to submit a Request for Part-time Attendance or Ancillary Services Form each school year.

Ancillary service is defined to include counseling, testing, remedial instruction, communication disorders services, physical and occupational therapy, health services, psychological services, tutorial services such as home instruction for the physically disabled and sports activities.
