Withdrawing from public school

Pulling your child out of public school in Wyoming to homeschool is usually a short, one-time process. Here are the steps, the letter you send, and how to time it so the district doesn't flag your child as truant.

Wyoming (under the 2025 Homeschool Freedom Act): if you're pulling a child out of public school, send the district a one-time written notice of withdrawal, and that's the whole filing. If your child has never been enrolled in public school, you don't need to file anything to start. Keep a copy of the notice.
Step by step

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 Wyoming (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.

Send a written withdrawal letter to the school
Wyoming doesn't require a formal withdrawal letter or notice of intent to move a child from public school to homeschooling. Even so, a short written notification to the current school is a good idea so the district can close out attendance records and avoid truancy follow-ups. Rather than hand-writing the withdrawal letter, Homeschool Fox produces a pre-formatted PDF ready to send to the district.

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.
