North Dakota asks for a notice: At least five days before you begin (14 days after moving into a district), then once each year., to Superintendent of your school district of residence.. Below are that notice, the letter to the school your child is leaving, and the letters for when homeschooling ends or you move.

State letters 0.1.0 · nothing you type is saved or sent
To: Superintendent of your school district of residence. · When: At least five days before you begin (14 days after moving into a district), then once each year. · North Dakota's own notice, with the lines its law lists: the letter of intent maker.
What North Dakota's law asks the notice to give: File a statement of intent with the superintendent of your school district of residence at least five days before beginning home education (or within fourteen days of moving into a district), and once each year after. It gives the child's name, address, date of birth and grade, the parent's name, address and qualifications, any public school courses and extracurricular activities the child will take part in, and comes with a copy of the child's immunization record and proof of identity. The state offers form SFN 16909 or you can write your own statement. Put each item in the details box, one a line.
