Send a Withdrawal Notice to Your Child's School. Although many states do not require you notify a local school district of your intent to homeschool a child who has never attended public school, in order to avoid truancy charges, you'll likely need to inform the school that you're withdrawing a child from school.
We are writing to inform you that our child(ren), (Child(ren)'s Name(s)), is/are withdrawing from (School Name) and will not complete the current school year. He/she/they will instead be attending a private school for the remainder of this school year. Please remove his/her/their names from your records.
Be Honest but Respectful: You don't need to provide excessive details about your situation, but you should be honest about your reasons for withdrawal. Keep It Professional: Use a formal tone and structure. Express Gratitude: Thank the school for the support and opportunities you've received.
If your child is enrolled in a public school at the beginning of a school year and you later withdraw your child and establish your private school, you will need to send or deliver two letters to the school. First, notify them in writing that you are withdrawing your child. This is a notification from you, the parent.
Unfortunately until there is a court order stating you have sole educational decision authority or sole custody then he legally has the right to withdraw the child from school.
In cases of joint legal custody, both parents may need to consent to the decision to withdraw the child from school. If the custodial parent has the sole authority to make decisions regarding the child's education, they are responsible for withdrawing the child from school.
I kindly request your approval for my early dismissal on (date). I assure you that I will make every effort to minimize disruption and catch up on any missed classwork promptly. Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your favorable response. Tips for Writing:
“This letter is to notify you that I am withdrawing from school/I am choosing to drop out of school. I don't believe that there is anything at this time that can keep me in school. If you have any questions, please send them to me in writing. Thank you.”

No, it is not legal. No child is allowed to leave school early unless they are picked up by a parent or guardian. You should have a talk with your child's teacher.
