New York
New York asks more of homeschooling families than almost any other state: a notice of intent, an IHIP, four quarterly reports and an annual assessment. The hours count too, 900 a year in grades 1 to 6 and 990 from grade 7.
My Homeschool Hours keeps the hours by subject as you go and lays each quarter out the way a district reviewer expects, so the quarterly report becomes a matter of printing, not reconstructing.
- Notice of intent
- To the district superintendent by July 1, or within 14 days of starting home instruction
- IHIP

- Attendance
- Keep attendance records and show them to the district on request
- Annual assessment
