- [FULL NAME OF CHILD] — Address: [CHILD'S ADDRESS] — Age: [AGE]
I assure you that each child shall receive instruction in reading, language, mathematics, science, and social studies, and that each child shall be assessed annually in accordance with W. Va. Code § 18-8-1(c)(2).
Enclosed, as § 18-8-1(c)(2)(B) requires, is satisfactory evidence of my high school diploma or equivalent [or: post-secondary degree/certificate from a regionally accredited institution / institution authorized in West Virginia as the statute describes].
I will notify the county superintendent upon termination of home instruction for a child of compulsory attendance age, and, if I establish residence in a new county, I will notify you and submit a new notice of intent to the superintendent of the new county of residence.

parent files it themselves — Grace Team Academy never files on a
family's behalf. It is not legal advice; the family's own state rules, as
currently in force, govern.
