Migrant Students - Please Help!?

Migrant Students - Please Help!?
I have a student in my 4th grade class. They both come from colombia. Their parents are farm workers and return back to their home country during slow seasons. The girls are out of school for months at a time and are falling behind in school because of it. What programs or agencies could I use in order to assist the family? Is there any type of home schooling agency the students could utilize while out of the country to keep them up to date with their school work?

Yes, if they are American citizens, hey are required BY LAW to have their children in school for 180 days/yar, unless a medical excuse is provided. Report them to the truant officer. If they are legal, but not yet citizens, you'd have to post this q in "immigration" but I would think you could discuss homeschooling or distance learning options with them. If they are illegal, call the ICE.

Send them back to Columbia. We're sick of illegal immigrants and their children leaching off American Citizens and demanding and getting preferential treatment when it comes to law enforcement!
