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.
