Oregon homeschool letters
The letters a family sends, addressed and ready to print. Nothing you type is saved or sent.
Oregon asks for a notice: Within 10 days of the start of the school year, or of taking your child out of school., to Your local Education Service District (ESD).. Below are that notice, the letter to the school your child is leaving, and the letters for when homeschooling ends or you move.
Checked October 27, 2026. Information, not legal advice: Oregon's statute and education department are the final word.
State letters 0.1.0 · nothing you type is saved or sent
To: Your local Education Service District (ESD). · When: Within 10 days of the start of the school year, or of taking your child out of school.
What Oregon's law asks the notice to give: Tell your local Education Service District (ESD) in writing that you are teaching your child at home. The Department of Education says to do this within 10 days of the start of the school year, or within 10 days of taking your child out of school. Tell the new ESD again if you move to a different ESD, and tell your ESD if you stop homeschooling. The ESD must acknowledge it in writing. Put each item in the details box, one a line.

- 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 Oregon checklist for the order of steps.
