Since Caitlin will be starting kindergarten, I have to send a letter of intent for her. In the state of Florida, your child does not have to star officially schooling until they are six years old, by February 1st. Caitlin is 5, and will not be six until May 2010, so technically that means she does not need to be enrolled in any school, in Florida, until February of 2011. Why would that matter to a homeschooler? Well if you send your letter of intent, before your child meets the guidelines, then you have to keep a portfolio, and have the child evaluated at ...

In the state of Florida, you must submit a yearly evaluation to the school in your county. There are 3 different methods you can choose from. Ours is coming due at the end of this month, so I thought I would share the ways in which you can do your evaluation. 1- Take the standardized test, given by the school district, for your childs grade. 2- Have a certified teacher, of your choice, evaluate your child.

So what are these families supposed to do, that homeschool. I could not find, any definitive answers about Migrant Workers, so I am not sure how they handle the situation.

You can still Homeschool in another state, just be sure you file your evaluation in Florida, as your permanent residence. It would not hurt to contact the school, of ... Read Full Story
