(PLEASE READ NEW INFO)New Mexico Homeschool Notificaton Due Before April 1st

When you go to the website the form has NOT been changed to reflect the 2007-08 school year nor is the contact person correct (the name and email addy are wrong) this person has left and there is a new contact using the same number, Jackie Salazar.

Here is the new information:

As of this morning Jackie Salazar (the homeschool contact) contacted the webmaster for the state to get the dates changed on the form, he said he would try to change it this week or the next but they are going through a website change so he is busy right now. So your choices are you can just keep checking the website and see if the new form is up OR you can print the form and mail it in just change the dates on the top to reflect the correct school year then mail it to:

ATTN: Charter Schools Division
Homeschool Program
300 Don Gaspar Avenue
Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501

IMPORTANT: ATTACH A NOTE SAYING YOU WOULD LIKE HER TO MAIL YOU A CONFIRMATION RECEIPT WITH THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER!!


So although this is a task to get them to update their forms, etc. it is wonderful to see what an email and then all our phone calls can accomplish in a short amount of time! Good homeschooling everyone, Tabbi
