Apparently, you're supposed to file a Notice of Intent prior to starting, but they hopefully won't make a big deal about it as long as you go ahead and file immediately. There's a link to a sample form on the first page. It might be a good idea to join HSLDA just in case, however.

Incidently, note the part about proof of high school diploma or higher. You'll have to include a copy of your diploma.

Can you really get in trouble for having your child out of school for just 4 days? I wonder if that person your referring to had excessive absenses with their child prior to requesting to homeschool.. My daughter's missed most all of this year and I have been served with paper's to go to court next month. But... her school doesn't do such until after 10 days are missed. Plus a parent can excuse with a note 5 days for their child. Alot of the days she missed were doctor excused. Once they get her attendence fixed right (which they have all messed up), I won't even be past the 10 days. They counted her absent when she was at school and during homebound. After reading this, I am wondering if I could still get in trouble even though it's not past 10 days. I tried EVERYTHING to get her to go but she has school phobia and won't tell anyone why. She was at the point of opening the car door when I would be driving her to school and making harmful threats. When everyone told me they could take her away from me (which was nothing but a lie), I tried to get the principal to force her to stay but he wouldn't because he didn't want to disrupt the class. All they tried to get me to do was file charges on her with Juvenille or lock her up in a mental institution. I mean, alot of help, they were... I told them I would go to jail before I'd ever see her put in jail. Well now I'm getting my wish.. I have been approved to homeschool her but I'm still worried about this court issue.

i am alos from NC and its pretty easy...my son is 6 and we don't have to file an intent until he is 7..so you are fine...the only time you would get "grief" from the Public school is if they were older than 7, and then its still not a big deal, just file your intent and keep a copy ...they were just being MEAN..IMO..
