Here you will find a nicely comprehensive list of resources that Ann has gathered regarding homeschooling in our friendly state. Colorado's legal requirements are simple, straightforward and easy to comply with. So first -- relax! Then, after you've read the <A HREF="../laws/blCO.htm">law</A>, peruse <A HREF="http://www.rmec-online.com/Colorado/coloradohomeschooling.html">RMEC</A>'s translation of the legal mumbo jumbo via the <A HREF="http://www.rmec-online.com/laws/CO_law_inanutshell.html">Colorado Homeschool Law in a Nutshell</A> page so it all makes sense. Then print out and file your <A HREF="http://www.rmec-online.com/laws/noticeofintent.html">Notice of Intent to Homeschool</A> with <I>any</I> school district in the state. The NOI needs to be filed 14 days before you begin your program. Your child will not need to be tested or evaluated until they have <I>completed</I> the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th or 11th grades. You can file test scores and/or evaluation results with a private independent school.&nbsp;Please remember that grade level has nothing to do with age. That's one of the best parts about Colorado's law. <I>You</I> are your own school district, principal and schoolteacher! <I>You</I> make all the decisions about your child's grade level, curriculum choices and method of assessment. Should you have any questions after perusing both of our extensive sites, please don't hesitate to ask Cindy or <A HREF="../extras/emailme.htm">Ann</A>. We'll be happy to answer your questions, or direct you to those folk who are better qualified. In the meantime, welcome to Homeschooling in Colorado!</P> <DL> <DT>Cindy Englan (October 10, 2010 Cindy is getting married, and so will become Cindy Englan Wentz.
