Homeschool
For some families, homeschooling is the appropriate educational choice for their child. STMA Schools has an obligation to assure compliance with the compulsory attendance requirements under the law (MN Statute 120A.22). If you determine homeschool is the best option for your child(ren), please complete and submit the appropriate forms:
Homeschool Initial Registration Form
Submit by October 1 of the FIRST YEAR of homeschooling to the resident district, or within 15 days of withdrawing a child from a public school in order to homeschool (MN Statute 120A.24)
Letter of Intent to Continue Homeschooling Form
Submit by October 1 of EACH YEAR after the instructor has provided the same resident district with a Homeschool Full Report the prior year.
Homeschools are required to annually administer a nationally normed achievement test for each student age 7-17. See HERE for resources.
Special Education Services for Nonpublic and Homeschool Students
St Michael-Albertville Public Schools has developed systems designed to identify pupils with disabilities beginning at birth, pupils with disabilities attending public and nonpublic schools, and pupils with disabilities who are of school age and not attending any school. Per the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement ACT (IDEIA), STMA Schools is responsible for locating, identifying, and offering educational services to students with disabilities.
If you are a resident of the STMA School District and would like more information on the special education services that we provide, please see HERE.
