Evaluation Requirements for Kindergarten |

Attention Parents,
According to Florida Statute 1003.01(13), all children ages 6-16 are required to attend school and thus we , as homeschooling parents, either enroll our child in a Non-Traditional Private School or register them with the county. If your child turns 6 by February 1st of their Kindergarten school year they must either be enrolled or registered and therefore must be evaluated, otherwise you are NOT required to register your child for Kindergarten. Most counties will inform you of this statute and may even return your letter of intent if your child is still 5, others may not. THEREFORE, IF YOU HAVE REGISTERED YOUR CHILD FOR KINDERGARTEN YOU MUST HAVE THEM EVALUATED AT THE END OF KINDERGARTEN, REGARDLESS OF AGE, IN ORDER TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH FLORIDA LAW.
