File the notice of intent with the superintendent of your local school district. You must file the notice before you start your homeschool program, or not later than 10 days after your child has been formally withdrawn from public school or not later than 30 days after establishing state residency.
Once you have written the Letter of Intent, send it to the superintendent of your local county school district. The superintendent will typically respond to acknowledge receipt of your letter.
Keep it simple and to the point. Example: "I am writing to inform you that I have decided to withdraw from the course. Due to unforeseen personal circumstances, I am unable to continue with the course at this time. I appreciate the opportunity to have been a part of this course and wish you all the best."
Your letter of intent should clearly communicate your homeschooling plan and objectives for the upcoming academic year. This may include outlining the curriculum you plan to use, any activities or field trips you have planned, and the assessment and evaluation methods you will use to track your child's progress.
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.
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.
Contact the school's principal to do so. You have 10 days after withdrawing your child to submit the NOI to Homeschool to the Superintendent. We encourage families to MAIL IN the NOI via the US Postal Service to the SCHOOL DISTRICT in which the child lives (see steps earlier on this page).
