4. 4Family subjects: science, history, art, music, or nature study can often combine ages.
5. 5Compliance block: update attendance, work samples, or notes needed for Delaware.
6. 6End-of-day reset: file work, preview tomorrow, and stop before the routine becomes unsustainable.

The source materials do not highlight a separate statewide homeschool hour requirement for the common single-family and multi-family options. Families must complete the required annual attendance reporting, and the coordinated option must provide regular and thorough instruction comparable to public school expectations.

Keep copies of your annual enrollment and attendance filings, attendance logs, course lists, work samples, and high school records. If you run a multi-family homeschool, the liaison should keep the reporting records for the group.

No statewide standardized testing is required for Delaware homeschool options covered here.

Start smaller than you think. A consistent two-hour routine that actually happens beats an ideal six-hour schedule that burns everyone out.
