SAMPLE REMOVAL LETTER

The following is a sample of the type of letter you might send to your school principal if you are removing your child from school after they have been in the classroom part of the year.  Please note (from the content of the letter) that this type of notification is to be made only after you have submitted form PI-1206 to Madison.  You may also wish to informally notify the school of your plans to homeschool before or as you are preparing form PI-1206, but you may not actually remove the child from school (unless you are prepared to deal with possible truancy charges), until the form has been received by the DPI in Madison.  The information you need to request the PI-1206 form is listed on this web site under the "Getting Started" page.

Re: My Child?s Name---4^th Grade---Mrs. Ima Teacher

 

Dear Mr. Principal:

 

We have decided to homeschool our child.  Under Wisconsin Statute 118.15(4), we have the right to select a home-based private educational program for our child.  According to this statute, our child is considered enrolled in home-schooling after the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction receives my completed PI-1206.  I sent this form by registered return receipt mail.  Please note the enclosed copy of the return card showing that the form was indeed received.  Under this provision we can now remove our child from public school without him/her being considered truant.

 

March 26, 2004 will be his/her last day to attend Something Elementary School.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Mr. and Mrs. Homeschool Parent
