LHUG REGISTRATION FORM

 Homeschooling County/City Notification Form

Make sure your form is received at least  15 days before the beginning of the school year, (It’s best to send it by August 10th, to be on the safe side, if using snail mail).Currently, this form only needs to be filled out when a child is first enrolled in a homeschool program, as long as the child stays continuously enrolled in a similar legal state-recognized home instruction program. There is no cost when you submit this form.The notification form is where you will list “Lubavitch Home-School Umbrella Program” as your umbrella group, and also where you will tell the school system if you want your child to participate in State level standardized testing.  [select-faq faq_id=’810′]   Baltimore County Notification Form
