Which letter? Notice of intent to homeschool Letter to the school your child is leaving Letter when homeschooling ends Change of address

To: Nebraska Department of Education, Exempt School Program Office. · When: July 15 of each year the school will operate; instruction can begin once it is received. · Nebraska has its own form: Statement of Election and Assurances (online or paper, Nebraska Department of Education). Send that; this letter can go with it as a cover note.

What Nebraska's law asks the notice to give: A home school is called an exempt school. Each year the parent files a Statement of Election and Assurances with the Nebraska Department of Education, online or on paper by mail or drop-off (not both), plus a certified birth certificate the first time. The department's deadline is July 15 of each year the school will operate, and instruction can begin once the department has received the filing. There is no fee. The department tells your school district; you may also tell it yourself. Put each item in the details box, one a line.

Before you send it

Read what to file in Nebraska: 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.
