SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS:
Homeschool law requires that students identified as needing special education services, excluding those identified as gifted and/or talented, need to have their homeschool program approved by a teacher with a valid certificate from the Commonwealth to teach special education or a licensed clinical or certified school psychologist.  A written notification of such approval is required at enrollment each year with the notarized affidavit.

GRADUATION & DIPLOMAS:
Homeschool law awards diplomas to home education graduates who complete the graduation requirements while enrolled in a Pennsylvania Home Education Program. Homeschool families have two options. 1.) a parent issued diploma  2.) a organization issued diploma. 
Palisades School District does not issue diplomas to home education graduates.  The district does not allow home education students to walk at graduation ceremonies.
