Enrollment in Denver Options

We want to help support your homeschooling adventure

So you've decided to homeschool? 

 Good for you!   

We are here to help.   There are 3 steps to enrollment: 

1. Get in touch with the Denver Options Coordinator.   

2.  When you are ready to save your child's space for the 23-34 school year?  Fill out a Preliminary Enrollment form. This gives us the information we need to move forward and work on choosing classes.  Remember that we are not able to enroll students who have an IEP. 

3. You will receive an email from APS Options with public school paperwork links online.  This is the official paperwork.  Here you will upload birth certificates to the secure site.  You'll also need immunizations or an exemption to enroll.  

All set!   

In late July you will be able to access the Options book room to go choose curriculum.  

I'm ready. How do I get my child enrolled in Denver Options? 

Please fill out this Preliminary Enrollment form

 and email it to homeschooldenver@gmail.com

We will be in touch to customize a schedule for your child and 

 to send you the APS paperwork link. 

APS Options Program and 

IEP / 504 Plans- Click here for information 


The Options Program exists to supplement and support home school instruction and is limited in personnel, programs, and curricular offerings. The program makes every effort to meet each student’s educational needs but cannot duplicate the comprehensive Special Education programs found elsewhere.

The Options program can, however, provide some accommodations within the classroom. Our staff will work closely with parents to develop an appropriate 504 Plan for those students who need it. Students with more acute/severe educational needs requiring modifications will find the Options Program not a good fit for them. We do not have the staff or resources to write IEPs so we do not. In rare instances students that had former IEPs may be allowed into the program but no modifications will be made for that student, with the exception of 504 accommodations. Our Options counselor, Michele Cole, should be contacted to discuss the possibilities. She can be reached at michelle.cole@aurorak12.org.
