New Hampshire: Reminder--Evaluations Due to Participating Agency by July 1
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends,
This is a reminder that your child's annual evaluation is due to your participating agency by July 1.
According to New Hampshire law, a parent must provide an annual evaluation documenting "educational progress at a level commensurate with the child's age and ability." Parents have the following four evaluation options:
1. Certified or current nonpublic schoolteacher portfolio review and written evaluation;
2. Any national student achievement test, administered by a person who meets the qualifications established by the publisher or provider of the test (composite score at the 40th percentile or above indicates reasonable academic proficiency);
3. A state student assessment test used by a resident district (composite results at the 40th percentile or above indicate reasonable academic proficiency); or 4. Any other valid measurement tool mutually agreed upon by the parent and participating agency.
If a home education evaluation is not submitted by July 1, the participating agency is required to notify the parent that unless the evaluation is submitted by July 15, the home education program will be placed on probation.
If you have not already done so, we encourage you to submit your evaluation by the deadline.
Thank you for your support of homeschooling in New Hampshire!
Very truly yours,
Michael P. Donnelly, Esq. HSLDA Staff Attorney
---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> Extreme makeovers are for extreme circumstances...
Most homeschools don't need an extreme makeover, but there is something to be said for attention to detail and recognition of accomplishments. Watch the media and you'll soon see that not everyone wants home educators and homeschooling to look good. HSLDA works hard to shed light on the good work of home educators so it's obvious that we don't need someone "making-over" our homeschools. Join HSLDA and help us show the world that we're fine as we are . . . thank you!
