What New Mexico law requires when you teach your child at home — the filings, the deadlines, the records — and what it does not require, in writing.
Notice: Notify NMPED within 30 days of establishing a home school; renew the notice annually (by August 1).
Ongoing duties: Keep immunization records or a waiver; the instructor must hold a high school diploma or GED; no state testing required.
Withdrawal from public school: no codified withdrawal procedure — a dated written notice to the school is the practice, and it creates your paper record.
