Which letter?

To: Any school district in Colorado. · When: At least 14 days before you start, then each year. · Colorado's own notice, with the lines its law lists: the letter of intent maker.

What Colorado's law asks the notice to give: Send written notice that you are setting up the program to a school district in Colorado at least 14 days before you start, and again each year the program continues. The parent certifies in writing only the name, age, place of residence and number of hours of attendance of each child. Put each item in the details box, one a line.

Before you send it

  • Read what to file in Colorado: the To and By lines there are the ones these letters use, each linked to the law.
  • Keep a copy, and send it a way you can prove: by hand with a dated receipt, by certified mail, or by email if the office accepts it.
  • Taking a child out of school mid-year? See the Colorado checklist for the order of steps.
