I am in tenth grade. I recently broke my foot and have been on crutches for eight weeks. Being on crutches it is difficult to get around school. If I re-brake my foot, I’m going to be home-schooled. Can I be home-schooled for only a quarter? Also, how do I get started?

Probably not, but you can talk to your school about independent or homebound study. If you’re planning on going back next semester, this would probably be your best bet.
Otherwise, there’s no guarantee that your school would even accept any of your work – you wouldn’t be working with the same curriculum, and your teachers would have no ability to evaluate your assignments. This would either give you failing grades for the semester, or put you a semester behind.
Edit – there’s a big difference between homeschooling and independent study. Homeschooling is where you are not a student of that school, you and your parents decide on your curriculum and coursework. It sounds like you want to do independent study, which means you are still a student but do your work at home. Your school may be willing to accommodate this – it just depends on their individual policy.
It depends on your school, but it shouldn’t be a problem. They would be more inclined to allow this if you found a certified teacher to school you at home. A lot of retired teachers do this for extra cash. This is pretty common. Two kids at my school did it last year, one of them when they had mono and the other when they had pneumonia. Have your parents meet with your principal and work out the details.
