MyLittleBears Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 My dh is entertaining a job offer in Grafton N. Dakota which may have us moving sometime in Oct/Nov. We want to live somewhat near work but are completely unfamiliar with the area. I also want to find a good group to get involved with so my children can make new friends but I'm not quite sure where to start. Any advice would be welcome!:001_smile: Also how restrictive are the homeschooling laws? We are in NJ, so we are used the laws being unobtrusive. We don't even need to notify. From what I've been reading, ND laws are some of the most restrictive in the country, so I'm a bit nervous.:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyinND Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hi! I live in McVille, ND about an hour & 15 from Grafton. My husband is from Minto about 9 miles from Grafton. When researching our laws, it does seem restrictive, but at least in the school district where I live all we do is the annual statement of intent & standardized tests every other year. I know some others in the Grand Forks area who have had some run ins with certain schools but nothing serious. Not sure how strict they are in the Grafton area, but we haven't had any trouble where we're at. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have annual convention but I'm not sure how big it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
