Full-time Home Learners - Roles and Responsibilities

The success and strength of this program is based in a strong partnership between the teachers and the family (parent and child), as well as a cooperative spirit between families that builds and nourishes a healthy, rich learning community. Parents, teachers and children each hold specific responsibilities in this partnership.

• The teacher may also spend time with each child to work on goals, assess work and assess progress if requested.

Parent Responsibilities

• Meet with and communicate with teacher regarding planning, progress and documentation.
• Complete required documentation and supply samples of work as outlined by the teacher;
• Agree to participation in FSA testing for all grade 4 and 7 students (see teacher for details and non-competitive approach to this government mandated test.)
• Ensure that invoices for learning materials and mentors are submitted as required so that direct payment can be made by the district from your Distance Education allotment.
