Students are expected to meet with teachers and turn in work at least once a week. All meetings will be at the Home Choice office located on the west side of the El Cajon Valley High School campus. The first meeting will include:
1)     Communication of expectations of materials to be learned
2)     Description of assignments the teacher will assess
3)     Grading standards and expectations
4)     State framework for the course
5)     District guidelines for the course
6)     Issue textbooks/materials (textbooks used are the same as those used in comprehensive school program)
7)     Discuss any other pertinent information that may assist the student to be successful

After meeting with each of the teachers, the student and parent work together to formulate a game plan that keeps the student current with assigned work, and on task to meet assignment due dates.

All tests, and final exams are taken in the Home Choice office under the supervision of the Home Choice personnel. The office is open from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Fridays. Students may come in at any time during the office hours to turn in work or take a test.

Students are expected to spend the same amount of time per course as he/she would if enrolled in the regular school program.

The student and parent meet with the Academic Advisor and/or the Home Choice Director to discuss program requirements and the student’s individual educational needs and goals. If it is agreed at that time that the Home Choice Program is the best option for the student then a Master Enrollment Contract will be signed by all parities. Each course taken by the student will have a course contract which must be signed by the student, parent, and individual teachers. Enrollment is for one semester at a time. At the conclusion of each semester the student’s performance will be reviewed. If the student has made sufficient progress, and the parent and student wish to continue in the program a new Master Enrollment Contract will be signed. All students are enrolled full time. (On a semester system that would mean the student is enrolled in five to six classes).
