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.
A student who may or must withdraw from school must complete a withdrawal form. The withdrawal form shall state the reason for withdrawal. The withdrawal form will be signed by the parent and principal or designee from the school. Documentation will be maintained in the former student's file.
Formally Withdraw and Submit Proper Notice Some states require a notice of intent to homeschool, which may need to be sent before removing your child from public school. Even if you have never enrolled your child in a school, you may still need to notify your district.
When drafting the letter, it`s essential to be clear, concise, and courteous, outlining the reasons for withdrawal and any obligations that still need to be fulfilled. Remember, the goal is to communicate honestly and respectfully, while maintaining the trust and credibility built during the agreement.
If you're thinking about pulling your child out of public school to homeschool, the first step will be to formally inform your child's school of your intent to withdraw your child. This can be done via letter, email, or phone in some cases, but we recommend a paper letter or email sent to the principal.
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.
Send an email to your teacher or academic advisor. They are best able to advise you of the correct process for withdrawing from your school. The process for withdrawing is different for each school. Some schools require written notice, while others may allow you to withdraw by email or phone.
What do you say in a school goodbye message? Dream big and achieve big success. Wishing you every success in the future. This is just the start. I know you will go on to achieve so much! May the wisdom and knowledge you have found here, take you where you wish to go. Take every opportunity to achieve your dreams.
Joyful I think for you, bittersweet for me. The sense of hope you will feel for the future, the escape of the rules and rigour of the school system and the comfort of friends made, to carry you to your next adventure. For me, the sense of pride in who you have become but of another ending, this one more final.
