The notification deadline is August 30. Key points to summarize the new law:

There will be no more packets of materials submitted to the school district as a notification of intent. Yay!

Parents will continue to have the freedom to plan for their instructional year as will best meet the academic needs of their children. But, the outline of intended curriculum and list of materials will not be required for submission to the school district.

There will no longer be a requirement to submit an assessment report with your annual re-notification.

CHEO encourages parents to assess their children on a regular basis that suits their family. You can plan to stay in touch with your assessor and ask for their help in administering norm-referenced assessments or providing a review of work samples. The difference with this new legislation is that you will not be required to submit a report to the school district.

The notification process will be much simpler – but there are still clear deadlines to be considered and followed. Home educating parents must notify the superintendent of their school district of residence within 5 days after commencing home education OR moving into a new school district OR withdrawal from a public or nonpublic school. The notification deadline is August 30.

For this reason, it will be important to have delivery confirmation – either through the traditional postal service or in a response to an email submission.
