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.

This declaration is to be filed by September 15 of the school year or within two weeks of the beginning of any public school quarter, trimester, or semester. 

Please contact enrollment@steilacoom.k12.wa.us for questions or assistance.
