Entropymama Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Our family just moved to Corona, CA and we're looking for classically educating homeschool families. Anybody around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabetika Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 We live in the city of Orange, in Orange County, so we're not *very* near you (30-45 minutes), but I wanted to welcome you to CA and say your blog is wonderful and your kids have fantastic names! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Welcome to Ca! I am in central Orange county, a half hour by freeway on a good day...but I wanted to welcome you :) I lived in Corona as a child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropymama Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks guys! Can you give me the run down on CA laws? I'm getting confused about charters and co-ops and being independent... What do you do? In NV all they required was a single document to pull them out of PS, then you never had to report again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi, saw your comment over at my blog! it's real super easy to homeschool here, you have lots of options- and as I said on my blog, beyond registering online-which is a notification, not seeking approval- there really isn't anything else you have to do. California homeschool network has a nice yahoo group message board, there you can find out about playgroups, field trips, enrichment classes. Just search for it on yahoo groups. welcome! I'd love to meet you sometime, maybe we could meet up at a park or Barnes & Nobles or something...! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropymama Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 That would be great! So, as for registering online.. I had read that you're supposed to send in your affidavit between Oct. 1 and 15. Someone told me that since we moved here in January, I should just wait until the beginning of next school year to register, but I'm a little nervous schooling under the radar for that long.. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 well, I think you would be fine waiting till Oct. You can call California Homeschool Network and talk to someone on the phone that can help you with the law...we did have a situation where I homeschool a friend's son and she pulled him out during spring break- in that case she did file the R4 ( I think there are cases where a brand new school can file out of season) but she only did that because we were not "under the radar" -she was pulling her boy out of a p.s. and he was in special education, we were worried there would be a problem. I think if you are new to the state, you shouldn't have any problems...but if you are nervous, I would call CHN, they are very helpful.(we called them about the above situation, and they were so helpful :) California Homeschool network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needmoregrace Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Welcome to CA! I am in northern LA County. I would recommend contacting HSLDA and you will probably be reassured that you can wait until Oct. I am with a PSP, but many friends file their own affidavit. I am thinking about it, but my oldest likes the activities we do with the PSP school. You could also contact CHEA of CA. I have been homeschooling in CA for 8 years. ~needmoregrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
