What Is Required
Hawaiʻi homeschooling begins when the parent submits Form 4140 or a signed letter of intent to the designated public school. The Department’s current guidance says not to submit curriculum. The parent instead keeps a planned-curriculum record showing beginning and ending dates, hours per week, subjects, the method used to demonstrate mastery, and bibliographic details for instructional resources. An annual progress report and designated grade 3, 5, 8, and 10 assessments or permitted alternatives also apply.
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 adds Hawaiʻi’s family-retained curriculum-record fields, annual progress-report framework, assessment calendar, and acknowledgment record. Parent review and required submissions remain the family’s responsibility.

What Is Not Required
Do not submit the planned curriculum record to the Department; keep it for family records. Annual progress reporting and designated grade-level testing still apply.
