New York Homeschool Paperwork Kit (2026-27)

Checked against 8 NYCRR 100.10 and NYSED's Home Instruction Q&A on 2026-10-07. Your district may have its own forms and process.

Homeschooling in New York? The state's rule, 8 NYCRR 100.10, asks for four kinds of paperwork: a letter of intent, an Individualized Home Instruction Plan (IHIP), four quarterly reports, and an annual assessment. This kit explains each one in plain English, with the regulation paragraph next to every rule, and gives you fill-in forms for all of them.

This is for you if

You're starting home instruction in NY and the paperwork looks daunting
You're switching mid-year and need the 14-day rule explained
You're tired of rebuilding the same forms every quarter
You want the actual regulation text next to every rule, not guesses

Skip it if

You're not in New York (this is 8 NYCRR 100.10 only)
You want curriculum picks (this is paperwork, not lesson plans)
Your district already gave you everything and you're happy with it

What's inside

What a form looks like

Every form is fill-in ready. Example — the quarterly report header:

Quarterly Report
Student	____________________
Quarter (1–4)	______ Dates: __________
Hours this quarter	______ (running total: ______)
Material covered	per subject, vs. the IHIP plan
Explanation	only if under 80% of planned material

8 forms like this, all editable in Word. The regulation paragraph sits next to every section.

Who it's for

New York families starting home instruction, switching mid-year, or tired of rebuilding the same forms every quarter. It works statewide. If your district sends its own IHIP form, use the kit's worksheets to draft your answers, then copy them over.

What it isn't

It's general educational information and blank forms, not legal advice. It doesn't choose curriculum, write narratives for you, or promise that a district will accept a filing. The regulation and your district's instructions come first. Free official resources exist: NYSED's Q&A, and some districts publish their own templates (for example, New York City Public Schools). This kit pulls the rules and all the forms together in one place, for every grade band.

Questions

What forms are included?

Eight forms: letter of intent; IHIP for grades 1-6, 7-8, and 9-12 (subject lists filled in); quarterly report; hours and attendance log; annual assessment cover sheet; year checklist and correspondence log. All printable, all editable in Word.

Does this follow the actual NY regulation?

Yes. Every rule is tied to its paragraph in 8 NYCRR 100.10, checked against the regulation text and NYSED's Home Instruction Q&A on 2026-10-07. The kit quotes what districts can and can't ask, straight from NYSED.

My district has its own IHIP form. Is this still useful?

Yes. Use the kit's worksheets to draft your answers (subjects, hours, materials), then copy them onto the district's form. The regulation guide tells you what the district can and can't require.

We're starting mid-year. Does the kit cover that?

Yes. The guide covers the 14-day rule for mid-year starts, what changes about deadlines, and how the quarterly reports shift.

What if it doesn't work for us?
