Instructions for Parents on Home Schooling
-
Immunization, Public Health Law 2164 has resulted in parents inquiring about home schooling. If you are intending to home school your child(ren), the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District requires parents to notify us via email of that intention. Pursuant to Commissioner’s Regulation 100.10 (CR 100.10), parents/guardians are required to complete an Individualized Home Instruction Plan (IHIP) and submit that plan to the District. Please note that New York State Department of Education (NYSED) refers to home schooling as “Home Instruction”.
These are the steps to take if you plan to home instruct your child. A link to CR 100.10 is provided for your reference.
1. Notify the District, via email, your intention to home instruct your child(ren). In the email, please include the name(s) and school(s) your child(ren) attend. Emails should be sent to despinosa@pobschools.org who is the Director of Pupil Personnel Services.2. NYSED Instructions for Parents Intending to Home School

POBMS held another successful STREAM (Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Art and Math) Day on November 25th. The entire day was centered around problems that were developed from the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. To make the day more exciting, the theme this year was based on the following quote by J.K. Rowling: “We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.”

When we chose our theme of “Moving Mountains”, little did I know that it would generate such heroic acts of faith across the District. I see us “Moving Mountains” of kindness and generosity each time a member of the POB family is in need, or a student needs that extra attention to get over the next hurdle. Through the magic of your labor, you cause the impossible to become a reality. I know that your families will celebrate this Thanksgiving season with the assurance that we have done our very best to make POB Schools a magical place for learning. In addition to having the most dedicated staff, BOE and PTA in my life to work daily miracles, I am also giving thanks for my first Thanksgiving with my grandson Luke. Such blessings! From my table to yours, I wish you a Thanksgiving of abundant joy and gratitude for your blessings. Gratefully, Lorna
