How to homeschool in Oregon

Send a one-time written notice to your Education Service District (ESD) within 10 days of starting, withdrawing from public school, or moving to a new district. It gives your name, each child's name, address and birth date, and the last school attended or your resident district. The ESD acknowledges within 90 days. Test each child at the end of grades 3, 5, 8 and 10 with a qualified neutral person and keep the results. Report them only if the ESD asks.
