What Washington actually asks of a family teaching their own children. Written plainly, and honest where the answer is that nobody asks for anything.
United StatesFiling requiredWho is in charge
Superintendent of the resident public school district
Who actually reviews your child
No one. Results are kept, not filed.
By 15 SEPTEMBER of the school year, or within two weeks of the beginning of any public school quarter, trimester or semester
Goes to: Resident district superintendent (or the district accepting the transfer)
Names and ages of the children, and whether a certificated person will supervise the instruction.
n/a
Goes to: KEPT BY THE PARENT, not submitted
Either a standardized achievement test administered by a qualified person, or a written annual assessment by a certificated person. Immunization records are kept with it.
Filing on time is the easy half. The harder half is the year in between: showing what your child actually learned, in words the reviewer recognises, without turning your home into a school.
That is what this app is for. You say what your child did, in a sentence. It maps that to the real curriculum for Washington and builds the record you can hand over the day someone asks. See how it works.
