Path setup, per student
Each child is set up on their own legal path. Siblings can be on different ones, and a path can be changed when your family's situation changes.
Built in Florida, for Florida law
A one stop shop for Florida homeschool families.
Florida now has three separate legal paths for educating your child at home, each with a different administrator and a different set of duties. Most tools — and most advice in Facebook groups — treat them all the same. We track exactly what your student's path requires. Nothing more.
Start here — which path is your student on?
Traditional home education
§ 1002.41 Administered by your county school district- Notice of Intent filed with your district superintendent within 30 days of establishing your program.
- A log of educational activities kept as you go, including the titles of reading materials used.
- A portfolio of records and samples of your student's work.
- An annual educational evaluation filed with the district.
- Records kept two years, available to the superintendent with 15 days' written notice.
- Notice of termination when your program ends.
Set up this path
Districts sometimes ask for more than the statute requires. The app tells you what § 1002.41 actually says, county by county.
FTC‑PEP scholarship
§ 1002.395 Administered by Step Up For Students, through EMA- You are not a district home education student. Existing home education status must be terminated — the deadline is August 15.
- An annual Student Learning Plan submitted in EMA, due May 31 to renew for the following year.
- An annual assessment — norm‑referenced or statewide — with results uploaded to EMA by May 31. A disability exemption form is available.
- Eligible spending, documented, per the FTC‑PEP purchasing guide.
- The FTE crosscheck — your student cannot be counted as enrolled in a Florida public school, charter, or FLVS unless you pay privately.
The mistake that costs families money
Filing a Notice of Intent as a PEP family can flag you in the district's records and
interfere with the crosscheck that has to clear before Step Up can fund your account.
We will never tell you to file one.
Set up this path
Deadlines shown in the app always carry the school year they apply to.
FES‑UA + home education
§ 1002.394 Administered by Step Up For Students or AAA- Everything under § 1002.41 if you homeschool — Notice of Intent, log, portfolio, and the annual evaluation included.
- Annual renewal with your scholarship organization, including the sworn compliance statement.
- Separate notification to your district that your student participates in FES‑UA. This does not replace the Notice of Intent.
- Eligibility documentation — an IEP, or a diagnosis from a licensed physician or psychologist. A 504 plan on its own is not enough.
- Spending that follows the program purchasing guide, with records for every expense.
Commonly gotten wrong
You will hear that scholarship students are exempt from the annual evaluation. That is
true for PEP and not true for FES‑UA families who homeschool — you are a
district home education student and the evaluation still applies.
Set up this path
You carry two sets of duties. The app stacks the scholarship checklist on top of the district one.
What's inside
Everything a Florida homeschool year asks of you, in one place.
Every field in this app has someone who reads it — the statute, your evaluator, your scholarship organization, an admissions office, or you. If nothing needed it, we didn't build it.
For you
For your district & your scholarship organization
Compliance checklists
A live checklist of what your student's path requires, with the statute or handbook each item comes from, and what's still outstanding.
For your district evaluator
Daily activity log
Log the day as you go, including titles of reading materials — the one detail the statute names specifically. Time tracking is there for high school credit if you want it; Florida doesn't require it, so it never nags you.
For your district evaluator
Portfolio
Photos and PDFs of real work, attached to the student and dated. Preview, download, or keep a synced copy in your own OneDrive folder.
For you
K–8 milestones
Grade‑level checkpoints drawn from Florida B.E.S.T. and state standards themes, plus your own objectives, each with the date you saw it click.
For college admissions
High school transcript
Courses, credits, weighted and unweighted GPA, progress against Florida's 24‑credit benchmark, and a printable parent‑issued transcript.
For Step Up For Students or AAA
Scholarship spending
Accounts, categorized expenses, reimbursement status, and balances with rollover — so the documentation exists before anyone asks for it.
For your county district
County filing guidance
Where and how to file, for all 67 counties — with a plain note on what a district can and cannot require of you.
For you
Export everything
Download your full records as a file you keep, any time. Your family's history shouldn't be hostage to anyone's subscription, including ours.
The one-click document
When someone asks for your records, you press one button.
The Inspection Packet assembles your activity log, a portfolio index with the work photos embedded, and your dated milestones into a single document you can print or send — framed correctly for your path, so a district evaluator sees district language and a scholarship reviewer sees theirs.
- Ready for a district's 15‑day inspection notice, without a weekend of scrambling
- Everything an annual evaluator needs, in the order they read it
- Print, download, or hand it over as a PDF
Why you can rely on this
Compliance advice is only worth what its sources are worth.
Sourced
Every requirement cites where it came from
Florida Statutes, Department of Education guidance, or the current scholarship handbook. Not a blog post, and not what someone's cousin heard in a Facebook group.
Re-checked
Reviewed every spring, before the deadlines
Handbooks are reissued and deadlines move. Each March and April we re-read the new ones and check every claim in the app against them, line by line.
Private
Your family's records stay your family's
Records are visible only to your account — enforced by the database itself, not just by what the screen shows you.
Honest
We're not a law firm, and we say so
We tell you what the statute and the handbook say, and we tell you to confirm it with your district or scholarship organization. Where the app can't do something, it says that too.
Open beta — free
We're looking for ten Florida families to run a full year with us.
At least two on FTC‑PEP and two on FES‑UA, so every path gets tested by someone actually living it. Beta families use everything free, and tell us what's confusing or missing.
