Hey there, future homeschooling maestros in Minnesota! Guess what? According to the education code, parents are the superheroes responsible for ensuring their kiddos become top-notch citizens. So, if you’re thinking about homeschooling, here’s the scoop.
How to Comply with Homeschool Laws in Minnesota
Be the Marvelous Instructor:
If you’re a parent, you’re already a superhero! Others need a bit of paperwork magic:
- Hold a teaching license.
- Be supervised by a licensed teacher.
- Teach in a state-accredited school.
- Have a fancy baccalaureate degree.
Teach the Awesome Subjects:
Think of it like a colorful palette: reading, writing, arts, math, science, history, and more!
No strict schedule, just keep it age-appropriate and sprinkle in some fun during elementary, middle, and high school.
Record-Keeping Mastery:
Keep track of your adventures with class schedules, materials used, and how you measure success.
Hold on to attendance records, textbooks info, and samples of your child’s stellar work for at least two years.
Yearly Check-in:
- It’s like a yearly quest: put your child to the test! Use a standardized test, agree on it with the superintendent, and keep the results in your treasure chest.
- If your homeschool is accredited, testing is optional. Check out more details on becoming a homeschool VIP.
Notify the School District – No Mystery Here:
Once your little scholar turns 7, let the superintendent know by October 1 or within 15 days of waving goodbye to public school.
Share the deets: names, birthdays, addresses, and the lowdown on your superhero team.
Immunization check? Yep, that’s on the list too.
Keep the district posted every year until your hero turns 16 (or 17 if you start late). Moving? Don’t forget to update the school superhero headquarters!
Note: This info is superhero-approved, but for personalized advice, give a shout-out to your legal advisor. Happy homeschooling!
