Letter of Intent
In accordance with WV Code, a Letter of Intent needs to be on file with your county superintendent two weeks prior to withdrawing your child from school. Some counties require this information yearly. Some individuals find it helpful to send the letter of intent with their assessment results. It is highly recommended that this information be sent certified or registered mail and that only those items specifically required by law be included. The letter of intent should contain the following:
a. Name, age, grade level, and address of any child of compulsory school age to be instructed.
b. Evidence of instructor's high school diploma or equivalent.
c. A plan of instruction for the ensuing year. (This can be a list of the subjects you will be teaching or the publisher of the curricula).
