Spring brings with it vibrant flowers, balmy weather, the end of the school year.
For most homeschoolers, it also means testing or evaluations. While you can assess your child any time you like, August 1 is the deadline to submit to your superintendent evidence of achievement either by testing, evaluation, portfolio or another acceptable means. This is the case if you're a homeschooler under the Home Instruction Statute, Section 22.1 -254.1. The Home Instruction Statute, 22.1-254.1 in the Code of Virginia allows two options for end of year assessment. In either case results must be submitted to the local division superintendent by August 1 for the previous school year for grades K - 11.
