While we believe it is the right of parents to choose their methods of teaching and course materials, per state requirements we must maintain attendance records for all students.
Each student needs to attend 180 days of school within one year from the starting date of the academic year. DCA does not mandate when these days should occur. Once you have completed 180 days of home instruction, you will submit your report. At no later than one year and one week after your original registration starting date, you must submit a copy of the Attendance Log for each child in order to remain in good standing with the school. This form may be printed and mailed or faxed, or you may send it as a scanned e-mail attachment.
Please note: If you complete your 180 days in under one year and would like to continue with a new school year, you must submit the Re-enrollment forms and fees. Also, if you are enrolling in Deer Chase Academy in the middle of an academic year, please see the note on the Annual Reporting Forms page to meet the total attendance requirements.
