  • Notice of Intent
     This is the format through which parents notify the school division superintendent that they plan to home school their child(ren). This form can be a letter, written document or online notification, which must be submitted annually.

    The Department of Student Services encourages parents to submit their Notice of Intent to Provide Home Instruction and their Description of Curriculum through the online request system, which is accessed by clicking on the "NOI Click Here" icon below. 

    Once a parent/guardian has submitted the NOI, the description of curriculum (if not already included with the Notice of Intent) and any required, supporting documentation must be submitted to the Department of Student Services within 30 days. Correspondence may be faxed or e-mailed using the contact information at the top of this page.
     It may also be mailed to the address below, however, submitting via US Mail may result in a delay of processing your NOI.  If you prefer to submit your paperwork in person, please call to schedule an appointment as we do have new security procedures in place at the administration building this year.

    Home Instruction is one of several alternatives to enrolling a child of compulsory attendance age in public school. It is not a "summer only" offering or a way to advance your child to a higher grade level.
     
     
    If you do not intend to continue home instruction, or you move out of Loudoun County, please inform the Home Instruction Office via email to Dawn.Mahoney@lcps.org  , fax 571-252-1242, or mail, of the educational setting in which you intend to place your child.
