What Is Required
Iowa has multiple private-instruction pathways, including competent private instruction with a licensed practitioner, parent-directed CPI options, and independent private instruction. Filing, supervision, assessment, and dual-enrollment rules differ, so the companion requires pathway selection before generating documents. CPI plans track 148 days with at least 37 days per quarter and adequate progress; IPI plans map mathematics, reading/language arts, science, and social studies and preserve records for any written district request.
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 chosen CPI/IPI route, 148-day and 37-day-quarter calendar where applicable, required core subjects, and route-dependent assessment/filing fields. Parent review is required. Submit documents only when required for your confirmed state and pathway; keep retain-only items in your family records.

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.
Your Next Steps
Review and correct every generated field, confirm the current official source and local/pathway instructions, sign where appropriate, and submit any required notice, plan, report, evaluation, or other form yourself. K–5 Blueprint does not file on the family's behalf or guarantee agency acceptance.
