Idaho homeschool letters

The letters a family sends, addressed and ready to print. Nothing you type is saved or sent.

Idaho asks for no notice on the route described on its page: Idaho Code 33-202 lets a parent have the child privately instructed by or at the direction of the parent. You may still want the letter to the school your child is leaving, below.

Checked October 27, 2026. Information, not legal advice: Idaho's statute and education department are the final word.

Re: Letter to the school your child is leaving, Idaho

I am withdrawing ________________ from ________________, effective ________________, to provide home education in Idaho.

Please send me a copy of the school records, including attendance, grades, any test results and, where there is one, the IEP or 504 plan.

Thank you for your help.

Before you send it

Read what to file in Idaho: 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.
