Here’s a small excerpt from the Colorado Home School Statute..

“It is the primary right and obligation of the parent to choose the proper education and training for children under his care and supervision. It is recognized that home-based education is a legitimate alternative to classroom attendance for the instruction of children and that any regulation of non-public home-based educational programs should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate a variety of circumstances. The General Assembly further declares that non-public home-based educational programs shall be subject only to minimum state controls which are currently applicable to other forms of non-public education.”

“Parents must give notice 14 days before starting home schooling and annually thereafter. The parents have the choice to file the notice in any school district in the state. A parent who intends to establish a nonpublic home-based educational program is not required to establish nor to provide written notification of this program to a school district within the state until the parent’s child is seven years of age, nor is the parent required to continue the program or provide the notification after the child is sixteen years of age.

For complete details check out the Colorado Education State Website for the requirements and laws pertaining to Homeschooling. You can also check out the Homeschool Reporting site to better understand the reporting requirements.

You can take a tour on one of boats that cruise the Riverwalk where they share the history and the future of the park. Learn about the founders of the Riverwalk and the reason it was created. You will not be disappointed. HARP (Historic Arkansas Riverwalk Park) has a public website, but unfortunately it is pretty sparse at the moment, you can visit it here.

The Riverwalk has statues, water falls, a walk way that is along side the “river” where you can walk the entire perimeter of the Riverwalk on foot enjoying the amazing architecture and landscaping first hand. There is even an amphitheatre that hosts various events right on the river.

The Riverwalk has light posts that illuminate the park at night, truly a beautiful site to see. Come during the spring and summer months and enjoy a brisk evening on the river.  The day I visited was just pefect, nothing but sun shine (a very common day for the area) and a mild breeze.

 
The image show above of the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk Park has 26 images, so it make take a little while for all the images to load, please remember all images are property of ColoradoLandCheap.com

For the children there are pedal boats, restaurants, sitting areas and the previously mentioned guided boat tours. You should allot at least 2 hours to fully enjoy the park. The Riverwalk park is located in downtown Pueblo Colorado and free 2 hour parking is available on the street. Unlike most cities Pueblo is easy to navigate, the people are friendly and the city is very clean.

When finished with the Riverwalk and wanting to enjoy more activities without driving then you are in luck. There are many things to do that are in walking distance of the Riverwalk including Buell Children’s Museum, El Pueblo History, Museum and the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center.
