Private California homeschoolers

http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/ps/rq/affidavit.asp

If you are homeschooling in California and not associated with a private or public school that maintains legal records, today is the deadline for filing your private school affidavit.

It can be intimidating to file something so very legal and declarative, but it is simple to do online and doesn’t need to take more than five minutes.  You will need to make just a few small decisions and the rest basically consists of writing the same name and contact information over and over again.

The two decisions involve choosing a name for your school and deciding if you want it to be listed as religious.  Neither is a big deal.  Many people choose their last names or their street names for the name of the school.  Others enjoy the chance to get creative!

The main thing is to just get it done.  Fill out the fields, print it and file it someplace safe (and where you can find it again!), and you will have the peace of mind that another “i” has been dotted.
