At Home Instructed Students Report

A student must have received permission from the school committee to be instructed at home according to the provisions of Section 16-19-2 of the General Laws of Rhode Island, 1956, as amended. Do not include students who are homebound and who are members of the public school district receiving instructional services from the school district at home. Homebound students should be reported in the October Membership.

Definition of membership:

A student is a member of a class of school from the date he or she enters the school until the date her or she leaves the school. Membership is terminated for reasons of transfer, death, completion of school work, or approved withdrawal. Approved withdrawal pertains to students who have reached sixteen (16) years of age, but have not reached eighteen (18) years of age and have parental permission to withdraw. Eighteen year olds may withdraw without parental permission. In any case, the date of termination of membership is the day after the last day of attendance.

Grade designation

Students who cannot be assigned a normal grade designation must be assigned to a grade according to their corresponding age group. Example:
