What Is Required
Virginia home instruction under §22.1-254.1 requires annual notice to the local division by August 15, evidence that the parent meets one of four qualification options, and a list of planned subjects; later starts comply within 30 days after notice. Evidence of academic progress is due by August 1 using a qualifying standardized score or allowed evaluation/assessment. The companion also separates religious exemption and certified-tutor routes instead of mixing them.

It also adds selected home-instruction/religious-exemption/certified-tutor route, August 15 notice, qualification evidence, subject list, and August 1 progress evidence. 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.
