Filing End of Year Assessment & Letter of Intent

Hello Everyone,

Another reminder about filing your year-end assessments before June 30th. It is imperative that we obey the law and get our assessments in on time, whether you chose standardized testing, or portfolio evaluations done by a certified teacher.

Here's a link to the CHEWV website, where you can find a sample letter (my preference) and a sample form, whichever you choose to use for sending in your letter of intent:

http://www.chewv.org/Intent.html

When you send in your year-end results, it is good to include your letter of intent with them. That way, there is no question about whether you got it in "on time."

Also, it is highly recommended that you send your paperwork via certified mail with return receipt requested, so you have some proof that the BOE received your paperwork. When you get it back signed from the BOE, staple that receipt to a copy of your letter of intent and year-end assessment, and store it all safely.

If you have any questions about this process, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Feeling Overwhelmed?

If you are glad the school year is done, please don't feel guilty. And if someone has told you they are doing school all through summer, please don't feel tempted to copy them.

As we all go down the lane of our homeschooling journey, every family--every teacher-mom--will take a different approach, even if using the same curriculum as someone else. We all have our own personalities and our children have theirs. To try to copy another mom, to exactly (and perfectly) pattern your homeschool adventure after someone else's, is a recipe for disaster (or at least burnout).

Here's a great devotional that I read today. While not specifically about homeschooling, I think each of us can relate to what the author wrote and will be encouraged. Click here to read it.


On another note, the THESIS end-of-year picnic at the DeRoos homestead is coming up on Monday, May 28th (weather permitting). If you are planning to come, please be sure to bring the following:

--chair(s)
--a side dish
--a dessert

If you have any questions, please give Liz a call at 304.657.1354.

Have a great day!
