*****PLEASE
NOTE: It is best to send this letter via certified mail, preferably 10 days
before school begins and no later than 2 weeks after the beginning of the public
school year. It is acceptable to send the letter
later in the school year if you start to home school mid-year or if you move
into the area mid-term. In any
case, be prompt.
*****Remember,
do not send additional information like test scores, course work outlines, etc
. The law does not require you to
send any more than your child’s name and age. It is better not to volunteer too much information. However, if you are withdrawing your
child mid-term from a public school, you may want to enclose your phone number.
Sometimes the local school
district will follow up on these withdrawls. If you give them your phone number, they won’t have to show
up on your doorstep.
