We knew it was coming, and now it is here! It is time to register for a new home school year. And, you want to be sure you register by the deadline.
If you are planning to register to homeschool for the 2025/2026 school year, there is a deadline for registration. The deadline is determined by the school district/county in which you live. The first day of school in your district for public school students is the date by which you will need to register your child for homeschool. That will keep your child compliant and not open the door for truancy.
Just because you have to register your child by the first day of school in your district, that does not mean you must also start school. You may start school at any time. Just be sure you registering using one of the three options available for home school.
Students are required to complete 180 days of school each year. If you are registered as an independent home school, the last day of the school year is June 30 every year. If you are registered with an umbrella school or accredited online (private) school, check with the school to learn its official last day of school.
