Q: How do I get started with home schooling my child?

A: Contact our office at 763-506-1273.  You have 15 days from the date you remove your student from a public or nonpublic school to get your student enrolled with our office.

Q:  How will the changes in the home school legislation effect me?

A: If you home schooled your children last year, you will need to submit a letter of intent to continue home schooling.  This letter can be in any format, mailed or emailed.  It must include your name and contact information and any changes you are making in testing, etc. from last year.  If you previously submitted report cards, that requirement has been removed.  Report cards are no longer required for any home school families.

New families will still need to complete the MN Compulsory Instruction Report and submit immunization records and any appropriate documentation.

A:  It ensures that there will be someone in the office to review your materials, as well as allowing staff to schedule their day accordingly.

A:  Yes, we will mail packets  upon request. If you wish a packet to be mailed, please call 763-506-1273 and if you reach voicemail please leave your full name and address including city and zip code.
