All Teaching Parents
Every August there is a Mandatory Homeschool Orientation for the Teaching Parent/s only (Date and time, once determined, will be available on the News & Events page). No students are allowed to attend this meeting. During this orientation we will cover and discuss our umbrella and the work relationship between the Homeschool Coordinator and the Umbrella Parents. This is also when the teaching Parent will receive their Teacher I.D card for the year allowing them to get teacher/student discounts at several locations.
All curriculum is to be chosen and purchased by the Homeschooling Parent. Curriculum counseling can be given by the Homeschool Coordinator.
Communication within the Umbrella will be conducted primarily through email. You must have a working email address on file, and are required to read any emails received from the Homeschool Coordinator. Parents are expected to be aware of, and comply with, information stated in these emails. If you change your email address please contact the Homeschool Coordinator to update your file. Any changes in your physical address and phone number will also need to be updated.
*Homeschool law TCA 49-6-3050 states, "A "home school" is a school conducted or directed by a parent or parents or a legal guardian or guardians for their own children". Therefore a parent or guardian not only must be PRESENT during Homeschooling hours, but also be conducting or directing the education of their child.
Home-school families are expected to comply with laws of the State of Tennessee concerning home
schooling. A copy of applicable statutes may be viewed at www.hslda.org. It is recommended that all
homeschooling parents read the legislation carefully. TKAHSU does not assume any legal responsibility
for a family home school. The King’s Academy further recommends home-school families join the Home
School Legal Defense Association (540-338-5600 or www.hslda.org).
