If you live in N.C.?

Have you received anything from DNPE about your intent to maintain your homeschool?

I haven't received anything and don't know what to do.

Am I to get an email or a card in the mail?

I received an email on Monday for the online update. Their number is 919-733-4276.

They just starting emailing the information this week, they have not mailed them all out yet.

I haven't received anything yet either and have been wondering.

Nothing here yet either. Been wondering too. Wasn't last year late too?

I got my e-mail yesterday morning.  My *guess* is that they're sending them out slowly.  Last year there was some kind of glitch where their server got overloaded.  The deadline to reply is November 24, so there's plenty of time.  And of course responding in any way is simply a request and not required.  So no worries.

I got a general note forwarded from my local homeschool group that NCDNPE had begun sending them out, but I have not received mine yet.

You are not required by law to inform DNPE annually of your intent to continue homeschooling. You are only required to notify them when you first begin. So what should you do? Keep homeschooling. The rule of thumb is to never do anything you are not required by law to do.

 

Personally, if *I* were in NC and I received an e-mail (or the little postcard) asking me if I planned to continue hsing, I'd delete it (or file it in the round file) and never look back.

Whew! I only notified them at the beginning and started to panic a bit as I read this thread!

This.  Don't do anything that isn't legally required of you!  I notified DNPE in order to open my homeschool right before my oldest turned 7.  The law requires nothing else.  I got a postcard the first year and it went in the trash.  They don't have my email address (you are not required to give it to them), so I don't get the requests now that they've switched to email.  There is no "deadline".  You aren't legally required to do anything.  It's optional!  Our homeschool is still legal and open until I notify them that we are closing it.  This is why DNPE lists their homeschool numbers as "Estimated Enrollment by Counties" on the website.  You aren't required to check in each year (and most people don't).  DNPE knows this, which is why they openly state that their total homeschool numbers are just estimates.

I haven't even paid attention as I delete and throw out anyway. I haven't ever kept attendance either. I DARE any of them to check up on me, bring it on! I am in a fiesty mood!
