Do first
Send a withdrawal letter
If your child is currently enrolled in school, send a withdrawal letter to school district. Conditions: Applies when withdrawing a child under 18 from a public school. If you notify the district that the child is enrolling in a home-based educational program, the in-person meeting is not required; otherwise you must meet in person with a school district counselor or administrator and give written consent to the withdrawal (W.S. 21-4-102(c)). If you have not notified the district that your child is enrolling in a home-based educational program, the written consent is given at an in-person meeting with a school district counselor or administrator (W.S. 21-4-102(c)).
Deadline: Before you start (if enrolled)

Review instructional-time requirements

Conditions: A home-based educational program is a private school under W.S. 21-4-101(a)(iii); the compulsory attendance duty runs during the entire time the public schools are in session in the district where the child lives (W.S. 21-4-102(a)). No separate day or hour count is set for home-based programs.
