AFFIDAVIT OF INTENT
For Private School and Home School Parents:
I understand that an Affidavit of Intent shall be filed within thirty days from the time the child begins to attend a private school or home school and is not required thereafter unless the private school or the home school instruction is terminated and then resumed.
I understand the child must be instructed in at least the subjects of reading, grammar, mathematics, social studies and science.
The person who has custody of the child shall notify the county school superintendent within thirty days of the termination that the child is no longer being instructed at a private school or a home school.
If the private school or home school instruction is resumed, the person who has custody of the child shall file another Affidavit of Intent with the county school superintendent within thirty days. (ARS §15-802.C)
In addition, for Home School Parents: I understand a certified copy of the child’s birth certificate or other reliable proof of the child’s identity and age shall also be filed in the county school superintendent’s office. (ARS §15-828.B)
I understand that testing of children who are instructed in a home school program while they are receiving home school instruction is not required. (ARS §15-745.A)
I understand that a child who re-enrolls in a kindergarten program or grades one through twelve in a public school after receiving instruction in a home school program shall be tested in order to determine the appropriate grade level for the educational placement of the child. (ARS 15-745.B)
