What Is Required
Arkansas requires an annual Notice of Intent for each homeschooled learner through the resident school district, using the state portal or current paper process. The regular annual target is August 15; a public-school withdrawal after that date can trigger a five-school-day waiting period unless waived. The companion includes the current notice checklist, withdrawal timing, district/portal links, curriculum and attendance records, and parent submission confirmation.
Tier 3 State Companion: Editable, parent-reviewable 36-week Curriculum Summary Draft with student and grade/year details, parent and instructor fields, four nine-week review/report dates, and subject-by-subject scope, sequence, objectives, resources, methods, and progress evidence. It also adds district notice recipient, August 15 timing, five-school-day wait when applicable, and submission receipt. Parent review and submission remain required.

What Is Not Required
The guide separates mandatory steps from optional best practices and will not add a filing simply because a planner template exists.
