Oh, you're in one of the "green" states :-)

No regulation of hs to speak of, so as far as I can tell, you don't have to notify anyone or do anything *unless* someone specifically asks you.

Here's HSLDA's legal analysis of Indiana law:

There is no mention of a required Letter of Intent (though it's a good idea to let the school know when you're pulling your kids out), required attendance is 180 days per year, and attendance records need to be kept in case the school superintendent asks to see them. There are however no required subjects, no required teacher qualifications, and you don't have to file attendance records or any other sort of record with the school board - you only have to send in attendance and the number of children "enrolled" if specifically requested to do so.

Indiana seems to be a pretty easy place to homeschool.
