Maryland Home Instruction Notification — free
Often called the Notice of Consent. Fill in the blanks below and download a clean, print-ready notice for your local school system. No account, no cost.
When is it due?
At least 15 days before you begin home instruction. Home instruction continues year to year, and most local school systems ask for a continuation before the new school year starts. Keep a dated copy of whatever you send.
