[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for this information.

We are in the thick of everything and still chasing down all the diagnosis.  It seems unsustainable with all the doctor's appointments, the different therapy sessions, etc.  Missing school and trying to make up the work/tests when a child is exhausted is stressful on her and all of us.  Moreover, it takes away from the focus of getting her better healthwise, although she feels a need to still have some exposure to school/peers.  We are thinking of asking for a shorten schedule of just the core class to be done in person.  And depending on how things go to repeat eighth grade again.  I am just not sure on when to ask for the consideration of the grade repeat for planning purposes?  We certainly have also had push back by admin when this was brought up previously.  We can also try to see if any private school would consider having her repeat 8th.

If we do homeschooling next year to "repeat 8th at home" and re-enrolling in 9th in MCPS (assuming health improves), who do we contact to get the homeschooling process initiated?

Any additional opinion from those with experience in this space would be incredibly helpful to us at this point.  We feel already lost with our child's health, and now we have the added component of academics if she enters high school.[/quote]

You just fill out this form: https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/forms/pdf/270-36.pdf
Mail it in and start homeschooling.  The only glitch is if you want to cover high school classes during your 8th grade year.  If yes, you will need to have the registrar and your daughter's future high school review the work for credit before starting there.  If you are doing only middle school classes, there won't be any problem enrolling for 9th grade.[/quote]

thank you for this.[/quote]
