Adding answer from comments in original question:
Double check your settings. I just set up a new install of WordPress and created a TwentyThirteen child theme. I set the “Sample” page as my homepage (Static) and was able to render widgets in the sidebar: cl.ly/1s3w2n3h1l34 Here are my settings: cl.ly/0O210w0o0W24 and my widget settings: cl.ly/2V1d1J1Z3g32 Note that my widgets for the “homepage” are in the Secondary Widget area
