What Is Required
New York requires annual notice, an Individualized Home Instruction Plan, four quarterly reports, required annual subjects and time, attendance records, and grade-dependent annual assessment under Part 100.10. The companion contains the 36-week curriculum crosswalk, IHIP support, four evenly spaced quarterly-report forms, attendance/hour tracking, assessment schedule, district correspondence log, and parent review/signature—while clearly leaving submission and district approval to the parent and district.
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 Letter of Intent, IHIP, four quarterly reports, attendance/hours, required subjects, and annual assessment pathway. 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. Quarterly dates such as November 15, January 31, April 15, and June 30 are examples only—not statewide deadlines.
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.
