Each state has different requirements for that. Some have a specific form to fill out. Some let you write a letter or send an email. Different states also have different requirements for annual attendance, reporting, testing, and evaluations. Many states require 180 total instructional days each year, but some go by hours and some don’t have any attendance requirement. Please join your state group to find out what is required where you live. You can find your state group here. If your state requires a certain number of days or hours each year, remember that 180 days of school can look quite different to each one of us. A school day doesn’t have to be time clocked with a pencil in hand. Field trips, projects, co-op days, etc. can all count as school days.
