Hello all,
My husband has taken a job in Colordo, south of Denver. We are excited, but are coming from Michigan where we don’t have any requirements for homeschooling and I am freaking out. You have to report to a public school or an umbrella school? Then you test every other year? I have never tested by girls (ages 9, 7 and 6)
Also, we are moving late January. Can I give them my intent in August?
Any help understanding this would be great!
Thank you!
Blessings,
Lynn
You will need to report to your district. I am not sure about the timing of your letter. Do you know the district?
Feel free to message me and I can help you about as much as I can. We are in Centennial/Aurora Colorado.
hi! No I am not sure. I have heard you can choose which district?
Thank you ! I am so nervous!
We are in Parker which is south as well. Private message if you find it is Douglas county
Hi! Welcome to CO! You either need to register with an umbrella school like www.chec.org, OR submit a notice of intent to homeschool to one of the school districts, it doesn’t matter which one. Totally up to you.
Here’s a letter of intent you can use:
Here is a post that might also help regarding schooling in CO
And here is a Colorado Unit study that you’re required to do for 4th grade:
You’ll need to test on odd years, so grades 3,5,7,9,11.
Since you’re moving mid year, I think you’ll need to submit your NOI right away. Normally it’s due 2 weeks before you start school. Just contact the local district and see what they want you to do. Also www.hslda.org has a lot of info on state requirements as well 
Oh, then you might want to check out https://www.pche.org/info they have a great group of homeshcoolers there! However you cannot join PCHE AND something like www.chec.org or one of the local district options programs at the same time they don’t allow it.
Thank you sooooo much Erica! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this information.
