A sample letter from pencilgo.com/homeschool/letter-of-intent. It is not legal advice. Check your state’s rules for what to send, to whom and by when.

Before you send it

Some states need no letter at all. Others want their own form instead of a letter. Your state’s page says which, with the source.
Check who receives it and by when. It may be the district, the county or the state, often by a set date.
Keep a copy. Write down the date you sent it and how.

Every state’s rules, with the law or agency page we read: homeschool law by state.
