Homeschool
In accordance with Massachusetts General Law Chapter 76, Section 1, and the Charles Decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, the Winchester Public Schools recognize and honor the right of parents/guardians to educate their student at home. The following procedures have been developed to support parents/guardians through homeschooling.
Step 1: Complete and return the Homeschool Application to Jessica Palino (jpalino@winchesterps.org), Administrative Assistant to the Assistant Superintendent.
Step 2: The Assistant Superintendent will review the homeschool application.
Step 3: Upon approval, the parent/guardian will receive an email regarding approval. Should there be any questions, the parent/guardian will be notified via email.
It is required that parents/guardians participate in the homeschool application annually, regardless of the student’s enrollment the previous year.
