Homeschool

If your child has listed Hālau Lōkahi Charter School as his or her "base" school, you must change the “base” school to your Department of Education (DOE) home school as soon as possible to ensure your child meets the compulsory attendance exceptions as required by law for the coming school year.

Please follow these steps to change your child's "base" school:

1. Identify or confirm your child's assigned Department of Education (DOE) home school, by inputting your address into the DOE’s online School Finder tool at the following link: http://www.hawaiipublicschools.org/ParentsAndStudents/EnrollingInSchool/SchoolFinder/Pages/home.aspx
2. Complete the OCISS Form 4140, Exceptions to Compulsory Attendance.
3. Send the completed OCISS Form 4140 to your child's DOE home school.

Upon receipt of your completed Form 4140, the DOE school will acknowledge the notice by sending you a copy of the 4140 once it is approved, signed, and dated by the school’s Principal and by the Complex Area Superintendent.The DOE school then will be responsible for monitoring your child's progress via the annual progress reports and any testing.
