Homeschooling in Mississippi: the paperwork, exactly

What Mississippi law requires when you teach your child at home — the filings, the deadlines, the records — and what it does not require, in writing.

Mississippi — One annual filing

Notice: Parent files a certificate of enrollment for the home instruction program with the school attendance officer each year.

Ongoing duties: Legitimate home instruction program; no state testing or evaluation required.

Withdrawal from public school: no codified withdrawal procedure — a dated written notice to the school is the practice, and it creates your paper record.
