📚 Required Subjects in Nevada
- Subjects as outlined in your own educational plan, appropriate to your child's age and skill level
Nevada's law is distinctive in that the required "subjects" are essentially whatever you specify in your own educational plan — the state does not impose a separate fixed subject list on top of your plan.
📁 Record-Keeping in Nevada
- Keep your written acknowledgment from the school district — this is deemed proof of compliance with Nevada's compulsory attendance law
- Retain a copy of your filed Notice of Intent and educational plan
- If your name or address changes, file a new Notice of Intent within 30 days and keep that updated acknowledgment too
- Beyond this, Nevada does not mandate additional record-keeping by statute

Getting Started / Withdrawing from Public School in Nevada
File a written Notice of Intent with the superintendent of the school district where your child resides — this must happen before you begin homeschooling, or within 10 days of formally withdrawing from public school, or within 30 days of establishing Nevada residency. Include a signed, dated statement of your legal authority and responsibility, plus an educational plan appropriate to your child's age and skill level. The district must provide written acknowledgment, which serves as your legal proof of compliance — keep it safe, since it's a one-time filing you won't need to repeat unless your name or address changes.
