Actually this too depends on the district. There are a number of partial
homeschoolers where I live (though admittedly most are doing essentially all
the academic work at home, and coming in for things like band and gym).



Yes, I have heard of that--but wouldn't the kids then
be *required* to attend all of the pieces they signed up for
regularly? A child who is missing elementary school for a
day here and there, even if it's a planned particular day,
is almost certainly going to be missing bits and pieces of
any particular academic subject. One a theoretical level,
one might have better luck asking to homeschool a particular
subject or subjects and having the child attend school for
other subjects, but if the child is attending school for
some academic subjects I would think that would be
extremely difficult to work around logistically.

Best wishes,
