Frequently asked questions
What is a homeschool letter of intent?
A short written notice telling your school district or state that you are educating your child at home. In states that require one, it is often the only paperwork at the start of the year.
Do all states require a letter of intent?
No. About a dozen states require no notice at all, some require it once, and others every year. A few use their own form, affidavit or online filing instead of a letter. Check your state before sending anything.
Should I send it by certified mail?
Many families send it by certified mail or hand-deliver it and keep a dated copy, so they can show when it was filed. Email is fine where the district accepts it; keep the sent message.
Do I need to withdraw my child from school first?
If your child is enrolled in a public school, also tell the school in writing that they are being withdrawn to homeschool, so they are not marked absent. Some states tie the withdrawal to the notice; check yours.
