Hawaii homeschool laws
Requirements summary
Hawaii parents submit Form 4140 (Exceptions to Compulsory Education) or a letter of intent to the local school, and send a new notice to the new principal when they move to another school's area or the child moves to a different school level, such as elementary to middle. An annual progress report is required, and nationally normed standardized test scores must be submitted in grades 3, 5, 8, and 10.
Expect a notice plus some form of evaluation, such as a portfolio review or a standardized test.
