Home School/Home Instruction Information

  • The District’s responsibility is to assist parents that choose to home school their child to comply with the regulations established by the New York State Commissioner of Education.  These regulations were adopted to ensure that all children in the District receive instruction that is at least equivalent to that being offered to children of the same age and achievement level enrolled in the District’s program.

Home School Forms

  • Several forms are necessary and require completion.  Please submit all records, including Individual Home Instruction Plans (IHIP), quarterly reports, and an Annual Assessment for each child, to Akron Schools, District Office, 47 Bloomingdale Avenue, Akron, NY  14001.  After receipt, a review will be conducted to insure that they comply with the regulations.  If the review indicates noncompliance, the District will notify the parent specifically of what is necessary to bring them into compliance.
