HSLDA members can also use the sample letter of withdrawal for Ohio, found below. Notify the principal, in writing, that you are withdrawing your child from school for the purposes of home education.Next, clearly state your child's name and the school they are leaving. The letter should include all of your child's identifying information, including their full name, birthdate, and grade. Parents who withdraw their children from public school may do so between academic years (ie, during summer break), or at anytime during the school year. Most states require that a parent send in a letter of intent before withdrawing their child from public or private schooling. The purpose of this form is to formally notify the school district of a child's withdrawal from public school. This letter is still sent to the superintendent and indicates that you will be removing, or withdrawing your child from that school district. The answer to this question depends on the laws that govern homeschooling where you reside.
