Home Schooling (Home Instruction)
The NYS Education Department (NYSED) outlines procedures for Home Instruction should families choose to provide an education for their children outside of the traditional public school system. The information below may be helpful to guide you through the process.
If you have any questions, please contact the following:
Donna Friedlander, Assistant to the Superintendent (donna.friedlander@irvingtonschools.org)

Important Dates
A letter of intent must be submitted to the Superintendent by July 1, or within 14 days of commencing home instruction. New residents may submit at the time of residency in the district.
The District will notify families upon receipt of intent to provide home instruction. Families will then have four weeks to submit their Individualized Home Instruction Plan (IHIP).
Quarterly reports and an annual evaluation must be submitted to the District as noted in the IHIP.
The regulations provide details about the process, timeline, and the content required for home instruction.
