What Is Required
Montana families notify the county superintendent each school fiscal year, maintain pupil attendance records available on request, meet the applicable minimum aggregate instructional hours, and provide the basic instructional program required by law. The home-school subsection of MCA §20-5-109 does not list immunization or exemption records. The companion includes the annual county notice checklist, grade-based hour planning, statutory subject map, attendance, and family records. Confirm the current county form before submission.
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. 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.
