Annual Notice

Required Homeschool Reporting

A parent who teaches homeschool is required to file either a Full Report or a Letter of Intent to Continue Homeschooling. Families should verify their reporting requirements by visiting the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) website:  MDE – Homeschool Information.
In accordance with state law, Lake of the Woods School is required to ensure that all school-age children living within the district’s boundaries are being educated. The district’s primary role is to be certain that families choosing to homeschool are in compliance. Certain information is required to be reported annually to the school district in which you reside. You may use the suggested forms that are available on the MDE website or a written or electronic format of your choosing. This reporting requirement is due to your resident district by October 1.
     Parents are also required to report to their resident school district:

• Within 15 days of withdrawing a child from public school to homeschool; and/or
• Within 15 days of moving into a new school district.

     Homeschool families have the opportunity to apply for limited educational aid. To be eligible for reimbursement, the Student Report for Aids to Nonpublic Students form must be completed and turned in to the Lake of the Woods School by October 1. No late forms will be accepted.

Pesticide General Notice for Parents or Guardians

Dear Parent or Guardian:

A Minnesota state law went into effect in year 2000 that requires schools to inform parents and guardians if they apply certain pesticides on school property.

Specifically, this law requires schools that apply these pesticides to maintain an estimated schedule of pesticide applications and to make the schedule available to parents and guardians for review or copying at each school office.

State law also requires that you be notified that the long-term health effects on children from the application of such pesticides or the class of chemicals to which they belong may not be fully understood.

If you would like to be notified prior to pesticide applications made on days other than those specified in the estimated schedule (excluding emergency applications), please contact the School District Office for a form.

If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact Superintendent at 218/634-2735 ext. 1506.

Sincerely,

Jeff Nelson, Superintendent
