What Is Required
Ohio parents notify the resident district superintendent within five calendar days after starting home education, moving districts, or withdrawing, and by August 30 annually thereafter. Instruction must include English language arts, mathematics, science, history, government, and social studies. Current Ohio guidance does not require the former 900-hour assurance or annual assessment. The companion includes the current notification, subject map, district acknowledgment, annual renewal reminder, and parent records.
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 initial five-day and annual August 30 notice, child/instructor details, and subject list; obsolete 900-hour and annual-evaluation fields are excluded. 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.
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.
