Beginning Home Instruction
STEP 1: Print out or view the Notice of Intent (NOI) paperwork and review the following available options to determine which best describes your method of providing home instruction.
1. The parent designated to provide instruction holds a high school diploma or higher. A high school equivalency certificate is not acceptable.
2. The parent designated to provide instruction meets the qualifications for a teacher as prescribed by the Virginia Board of Education.
3. The parent designated to provide instruction provides a program of study or curriculum which may be delivered through a correspondence course or distance learning program or any other manner. This option includes virtual classes.
4. The parent designated to provide instruction provides evidence that the parent is able to provide an adequate education for the child through a detailed letter to the Superintendent.
STEP 2: Research, select and/or acquire your curriculum. HCPS does not provide curriculum materials.
STEP 3: If you selected option 3, enroll your child in the distance learning program, correspondence school, or virtual school/class. Request curriculum information and a letter confirming enrollment. If a letter is not issued, a paid invoice is also acceptable.
STEP 4: Return your Notice of Intent (NOI) with all of the supporting documents to Henry County Public Schools Home Instruction. The NOI can be returned via email (homeinstruction@henry.k12.va.us), fax (276-634-4713), mail (P.O. Box 8958, Collinsville, VA 24078), or directly to the Henry County Public Schools Central Office (3300 Kings Mountain Road, Collinsville, VA 24078). Confirmation letters will be issued starting August 17th.
