Ferris ISD Private School Plan

Would daycare count as pre-school or private school/homeschool since they don't typically use a curriculum? 

1. If they are non-profit and use a curriculum including scope and sequence of courses, and formal review and documentation of student progress   - they'd be considered a private school (ISP) student 

2. If they are non-profit but do not use a curriculum (including scope and sequence of courses, and formal review and documentation of student progress) - they'd be considered an IEP 'at-home' preschool student

3. If they are for profit-- full stop, not a private school - they'd be considered an IEP 'at-home' preschool student

So we just need to begin to ask our parents if their child is in a private school or home school (following a curriculum) right?  

Yes, but make sure you are asking the full question, not just about curriculum. You need to ask whether the child is in a non-profit private school/daycare or homeschool program that:

• Uses a structured curriculum with a scope and sequence of courses, and

• Has a formal process for reviewing and documenting student progress.

If all of these conditions are met, then the student is considered a private school student, and you would complete a google form entry for them.
