What? I have to go to school in Chile?

No, but you do have to have schooling!

So what's the solution for schooling abroad?  I'm not really sure.  We found 1 solution that makes everybody  (except mom) happy.  Online home school through K-12.  After much research I think this option will be the best fit for my kids.

BUT..... It did come with some challenges!
First of all, there is a deadline for getting all paperwork filed and the students accepted to the program.  That deadline happens to be in 3 days.

Report cards from last year-- if I were better organized I would know exactly where those are!  I had to call each school and most teachers from last year and request report cards!

Immunizations???? What?  They are being home schooled!  Who cares?  K-12 cares.  So off we go to the doctor to get missing shots all caught up.  ***A good idea anyway considering the move to another country;) The nurse said we were caught up.  So back home to call to call K-12.  No they need this, that and the other.  Back to the nurse who tells me I better go to the health department.  So off to the health department.  Found records there!  Thank goodness.

504 accommodation plans from last year

Birth Certificates
Proof of residency- NOTARIZED!  seriously!
Vision exams
Transcripts
fingerprints from your second cousin once removed-- just kidding!

Now, if we can just get all this stuff faxed over for the umpteenth time and hope to be accepted!!!
