How do I withdraw my child from public school?

It is best to inform the principal of the school in writing that you are removing the child from school. Avoid meetings or phone calls. Tact is required in presenting a good Christian testimony especially if a school official is not familiar with home study laws.


If you are homeschooling under the private school option, you must

notify the school in writing that your child will no longer be enrolled there, but will be attending your private school.  The letter must be sent within 10 days and must include the child’s full legal name, birthday, race and gender.


If you are registering under the Home Study Program, this letter
is not required by law, but is highly recommended.
