Homeschool
Washington state law recognizes the desire of some parents to seek a home-based instruction for their children. A parent who intends to have their child receive home-based instruction in lieu of attendance or enrollment in a public school must file an annual declaration of intent with their child's resident school district.
Please contact enrollment@steilacoom.k12.wa.us for questions or assistance.
