If you homeschool in Virginia, the deadline for filing your Notice of Intent to Homeschool is August 15. That is, of course, unless you are schooling under the religious exemption, which does not require the filing of a form.
The new wrinkle in the Notice is the change in Option 1. It used to permit homeschooling if you had a bachelor's degree, but the law has been amended. You may now homeschool with just a high school diploma. And no, that doesn't mean a piece of paper. That simply means you may homeschool if you have finished high school.
If you have always used Option 4 in which you attach a copy of your "program of study for the coming year," or a statement of why you feel you're "able to provide an adequate education for your child," you no longer have to do that. Just choose Option 1, and you'll save hours of wasted time!
To get an updated, printable copy of the Notice, you may go to HEAV website.
It's almost time for back-to-school! Are you ready?
