Do first

A formal letter isn't required, but it is recommended if your child is enrolled in school. Send it to school principal or attendance office.
Deadline: Before you start (if enrolled)
More details
No statutory withdrawal procedure exists. However, failing to notify the school can result in the child being marked truant and potentially triggering a district attorney investigation. Notify in writing that you are withdrawing the child to provide education through 'other means of education' per the Oklahoma Constitution and 70 O.S. 10-105. Request copies of the child's records at withdrawal.
