Walking in Paperwork

As our FAQs indicate (see #14), we highly recommend that all annual paperwork be sent via certified mail to create a paper trail and limit unnecessary communication with the district. 


Another way to create a paper trail is to bring your paper work in and hand it to the school department directly. When you do that please be aware that it could, just like in a phone call, lead to undocumented conversations. These conversations could include office staff giving you incorrect information (lies, threats have also been known to occur). If you walk in paperwork know the law so well that you can stand up against their own lack of knowledge, lies or intimidation that may cause you to lose confidence and feel threatened. 


ENRICHri does not suggest bringing your paperwork into the school department in person, but if you choose to, bring 2 copies, get both stamped/signed/dated as received, keep 1 copy for your records.


If office staff starts telling you “we also need….”, “you need to bring it to such and such office instead, not here”, or they flat out refuse to give you a signed and dated receipt, turn around and walk out WITH your paperwork and send it certified from the post office instead.

Sorting Through 12 Years of Curriculum

08 Jan, 2024
On my son’s last day of undergrad classes I was ready to go through 12 years of workbooks, papers, notebooks, art, books and all the other things I had saved. We were so excited that day, undergrad was done ! But those boxes in the basement full of our homeschool years. Those boxes had been on my mind. So… we dragged them upstairs and I planned to get through them over the next few days. I wanted to touch everything, not just chuck it all into the recycle without pawing through it first. I wanted to remember each thing, to be surprised by the resources I had forgotten about. I want to cull it down to a few items that I would keep forever. I made piles.
