What Is Required
North Dakota requires an annual Statement of Intent for each learner to the resident superintendent and a five-day wait after filing before instruction begins. The parent normally holds a high-school diploma/GED or follows district monitoring rules, teaches the statutory courses for the required time, maintains academic records, and arranges nationally normed testing in grades 4, 6, 8, and 10 unless a documented statutory opt-out applies. The companion includes every filing, timing, course, record, test, and opt-out checkpoint.
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 annual Statement of Intent, five-day wait, instructor qualification or monitoring, subject/time plan, permanent academic record, and testing checkpoints. 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.
