California State
Education Code requires that private schools maintain records of
certain teacher and student information. The forms on this page
were designed to minimize the administrative burden for parents
while complying with the applicable Codes.
Each form can be filled out and then printed, or you may print it
and fill it out manually. If you are unable to print any form,
please e-mail us, and we will send you a registration package via
USPS. Click on the underlined links to access each form.
1.
Please fill out an Enrollment
Application for each student that you wish to register.
2. The Teacher
Statement is similar to a resume and documents that you are
"capable of teaching." We need only one Teacher
Statement for each family, even if your are enrolling more than
one student. Click HERE
to see a sample Teacher Statement.
3. The Course
of Study summarizes your intended coursework for the student.
We do not expect this to be a detailed description of curriculum
or lesson plans, and we understand that studies may vary from the
intended course based on student interest, travel, change in
teaching methods, etc. Think of this outline as a list of your
primary resources and major project ideas. Click HERE
to see our sample Course of Study.
Please complete a Course of Study for each student.
4. A Records
Transfer must be completed and signed so we can request your
child's records from their current school. If you are registering
more than one student, please complete a form for each school that
we need to request records from. If your child has not attended a
school prior to Talega Prep, you may skip this form. Click HERE
to see a sample Records Transfer.
5. An Immunization Record is
Department of Health Services form PM286B, the "blue
immunization card" that we are required to maintain with your
child's permanent record. We will mail this form to you, and you
may sign the waiver on the back of the card in lieu of disclosing
the student's immunization history.
6. The Health Exam
Waiver is Department of Health Services form PM171B, and we will
mail this form to you.
7. As the teacher, the
parent shall keep an Attendance
Record and return it to the school at the end of each
semester. We will mail you an attendance form or you can print
from the above link.
Keep this attendance record with your school
papers at home. Mark any student absences, and at the end of each
semester note the total days of attendance (out of 90 school days
per semester) in the space provided. We realize that
homeschoolers are rarely absent from school, but attendance
records are a legal requirement for all private schools.
8. As the teacher, the
parent is responsible for implementing the student's Course of
Study and providing an Assessment
at the end of the school year. This does not have to be a detailed
itemization of lessons or a portfolio of work. Instead, refer to
your Course of Study and list major accomplishments by subject
area: books or chapters completed, new skills acquired, major
projects, outside courses attended, etc.
9. After you have
received an e-mail confirmation of enrollment, you can officially
withdraw your child from their current school. A simple business
letter, addressed to the school principal, is all that is
required. Click HERE to see a
sample Withdraw Letter.
