HOME SCHOOLING
Any parent planning to teach their children at home needs to contact the Office of Curriculum and Instruction (352-3400, extension 1226) for the necessary forms. These forms must be filled out and returned before the beginning of the school year. The mandatory reporting ages for children being taught at home are seven through sixteen (and/or through the tenth grade). Home schooling forms have already been mailed to parents who have previously taught their children at home. Home school families and students are encouraged to attend regular classes to supplement home school education.
