What if my child returns to conventional school?

Posted on by whpa-webadmin
  • If your child returns to conventional school (public or private) in the MIDDLE of the school year, you must log back into the DPI HOMER web site and adjust your PI-1206 Homeschool Report to change the number of students enrolled in your homeschool to reflect an accurate count.
  • If your child returns to conventional school at the BEGINNING of the new school year, you do not need to change the PI-1206 Homeschool Report for the previous year. Your PI-1206 Homeschool Report for the new year must reflect an accurate count of students enrolled in your homeschool, if any. If you will no longer be homeschooling any students, you do not need to file a PI-1206 Homeschool Report.
  • Each school district will have an entry/re-entry policy stating their requirements. Look up or obtain a copy of their written policy, and make sure you read and understand it.

Remember: If you properly filed your PI-1206 Homeschool Report for the time your child was homeschooling, your duty to the school district is fulfilled.

WHPA provides information about homeschooling in Wisconsin. WHPA does not provide specific legal advice to any specific individuals in the context of any specific matters. It is the responsibility of each homeschool administrator/parent or guardian to read original source material and make decisions on compliance for themselves. When you file the PI-1206 Homeschool Report with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, you take full responsibility for understanding and complying with the laws outlined on that form. WHPA does not endorse or provide curriculum suggestions or specific materials for any particular educational approach.
