Susan Keema, Assoc. Supt. of Educational Services
The following information is intended to assist you in filling out the attached application to provide home instruction. The purpose of the notice is to inform the school district that the child is exempt from compulsory attendance (NRS 392.040).

You must submit a separate Notice of Intent to Homeschool application for each child you intend to homeschool and return it to the Carson City School District Office. You must include an "educational plan" of instruction for the child in the subject areas of English (including Reading, Composition and Writing), Mathematics, Science and Social Studies (including History, Geography, Economics and Government) as appropriate for the age and level of skill for the child.

Because new regulations were recently passed during the 2007 legislative session, A Notice of Intent to Homeschool must be completed and filed by all Nevada home school parents for the upcoming 2007-2008 school year, even if you filed one last year under the old regulations.

The parent must file a Notice of Intent to Homeschool application, along with an educational plan, prior to homeschooling the child; not later 10 days after the child has been formally withdrawn from the public school system, or not later than 30 days after establishing residency in Nevada. Traditionally, an educational plan has consisted of either educational goals, or a list of instructional materials to be used. By signing the application, the parent is acknowledging that he has control or charge of the child and the legal right to direct the education of the child.

Upon receipt of the Notice of Intent to Homeschool, along with the educational plan, the District shall mail a written acknowledgement to the parent. This acknowledgement shall be deemed proof of compliance with Nevada's compulsory school attendance law (NRS 392.040).
