EDUCACIÓN EN EL HOGAR EN COLORADO
NOI vs ESCUELA UMBRELLA
EDUCACIÓN EN CASA LEGALMENTE EN COLORADO
Escuchará conversaciones sobre lo que se requiere para educar legalmente en casa, qué registros se deben conservar y cuándo y cómo realizar las pruebas.
Muchas personas compartirán las políticas de su escuela paraguas, sin saber que estas políticas son exclusivas de la escuela y no lo que estipula la ley. Si tiene alguna duda sobre lo que debe hacer, continúe leyendo para estar bien informado.
Cuando te inscribes en una escuela paraguas para cumplir con los requisitos legales de presentación de informes sobre educación en el hogar, pasas de la Ley de educación en el hogar a la Ley de escuelas no públicas. Las escuelas paraguas se clasifican legalmente como escuelas independientes.
Tenemos la autoridad de establecer nuestras propias políticas y procedimientos. Las escuelas paraguas no presentan una NOI en su nombre porque cuando se inscribe en una escuela paraguas, está educando a su hijo en casa bajo una ley diferente.
Consulte el desglose a continuación para ver una comparación de la Ley de educación en el hogar y las políticas de Statheros Academy.
Asegúrese de comprender exactamente lo que se requiere al educar a sus hijos en casa en Colorado para no perder tiempo y esfuerzo ni poner a su familia en riesgo de no cumplir con la ley.
Tenga siempre cuidado de compartir información precisa sobre lo que se necesita para administrar la educación en el hogar en Colorado. Cuando las personas comprenden y cumplen correctamente con las obligaciones legales, se sienten más relajadas y seguras acerca de la educación en el hogar.
NOI DE EDUCACIÓN EN EL HOGAR DE COLORADO
ESCUELA PARAGUAS
ACADEMIA STATHEROS
Colorado Homeschool law requires:
-
Education must occur for a minimum of 172 days, averaging 4 hours per day.
Subjects covered must include but aren’t limited to:
-
Communication skills of reading, writing, and speaking, mathematics, history, civics, literature, and science.
-
Honor and use of the flag to be taught.
-
The United States Constitution to be studied. Instruction shall begin no later than the seventh grade and continue in high school
Required Records to keep on hand:
-
Attendance
-
Test/evaluation results
-
Vaccine Records
-
When filing a NOI the school district has the right to demand your records. This is HIGHLY unlikely, but if it happens you must comply and submit records to them within 14 days.
-
C.R.S 22-33-104.5(3)(e) requires parents to file a Notice of Intent (NOI) to homeschool with their local school district 14 days prior to the first day of school.
-
Please note that if you enroll in an umbrella school, you can remove your child from school immediately and do not have to wait 14 days to pull your child from school. We can expedite your registration and help you withdraw your students from school in one day or less.
-
C.R.S. 22-33-104.5(3)(f) requires a child participating in a homeschool program to be evaluated in grades 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 in one of two ways:
-
A nationally standardized achievement test
-
An evaluation by a “qualified person”
-
Results must be sent to the school district that received the NOI or you may submit them to a school like Statheros Academy that does record storage. If you submit test/evaluation results to a school you must notify the school district where the records are being stored.
-
Attendance requirements:
-
Education must occur for a minimum of 172 days, averaging 4 hours per day. Our school year runs from July 1- June 30.
Subjects covered should include but aren’t limited to:
-
Communication skills of reading, writing, and speaking, mathematics, history, civics, literature, and science, honor and use of the flag, and the US Constitution should be studied in grades 7+.
-
Unschoolers are welcome.
What we collect for enrollment:
-
Family Information
-
Teaching Resource List which is the scope of resources used in your homeschool.
Other things you should know:
- Submitting attendance is optional as a record keeping service.*
-
We do not collect or store vaccine records.
-
When you register with us you do NOT file a Colorado Homeschool NOI with a school district. If you have done both contact Colleen for assistance with this.
-
Statheros Academy does not require testing. You can do a parent or professional evaluation if you want. Do what is best for your student.
-
Evaluations/Testing must be done every other year for all kids grades 3+.
-
Parents are STRONGLY encouraged to ensure that your student is receiving a well-rounded education to give them the best chances for long-term success. We recommend providing structured coursework that will meet requirements for college entry, should your student decide they want to go to college.
-
We do not believe that everyone must go to college in order to succeed. Many people do not desire to attend college and can succeed very well without it.
*We do not require you to turn in Attendance each year, but you are required to track attendance at home. If we are audited we will notify you and you must turn in current attendance records within 3 business days.
