How to Withdraw From School in New Hampshire

How withdrawal works in New Hampshire

Step by step

1. 1

   Confirm your child is currently enrolled

   This guide is for moving a currently enrolled student to homeschooling. If your child has never attended public school in New Hampshire (a kindergartner you're starting at home, for example), there's usually nothing to withdraw from. A quick call to the school confirms their status.

2. 2

   Send a written withdrawal letter to the school

   The New Hampshire withdrawal process is a two-step handoff: a letter to the current public school closing out the enrollment, followed by a notice of intent filed with the local school district. Homeschool Fox generates a compliant withdrawal letter from your family's details in a few clicks.

3. 3

   File your notice of intent

   Yes, New Hampshire requires you to file notice of your intent to homeschool. You must notify your local school district.

4. 4

   Keep dated copies for your records

   Save a copy of the withdrawal letter and anything you file, noting the date you sent it. If the district ever asks about attendance, dated proof that you withdrew on time is what closes the question.

5. 5

   Set up your homeschool

   With the withdrawal handled, the rest is starting your homeschool: planning subjects, setting an hours or days target, and keeping records. Your next stop is the how-to-start guide for New Hampshire.
