Letter to Justin's teacher and principal
Dear Mme. Agathe:
This letter is to inform you that Justin's last day of school will be February 23, 2007. He will be finishing grade 1 at home.
Our reasons for taking Justin away from school are fairly complex, but mostly centre around his wish to be at home. He has enjoyed school at [SchoolName] very much, so we were very surprised last year when he began to express a desire to be at home schooled like his brother Daniel. After a lot of thought and discussion and after giving this a lot of time to see if Justin really wanted to do this and it wasn't a passing whim, we decided as a family to give it a try.
Our decision was not taken lightly. We have been very happy with Justin's time at [SchoolName]. He has had wonderful teachers in the last three years, and we know we've got pretty high standards to live up to.
As I have done with Daniel's home schooling for the last two years, I have accessed the appropriate grade curriculum from the Ministry and will be making sure that Justin completes all the knowledge and skill goals expected of him in grade 1. We hope that his home schooling experience is positive, but in the event that he decides to go back to school, we want him to be academically ready to resume regular school in September. We will also try to keep him in touch with the friends that he has made at school, whether he returns to school in September or not.
Thank you so much for making Justin's school experience a positive one.
Yours truly,
[Me and Chris]

Letter to Justin's friends
Hello!
Justin will be leaving school at the end of this week in order to finish grade 1 at home. His older brother has been home schooled for two years, and Justin likes [SchoolName] but has wanted to give home schooling a try for quite some time. He will be at home for the rest of grade 1 and we will see at the end of the school year whether he wants to return to [SchoolName] in September or not.
Justin is looking forward to being at home, but is worried he will miss his friends. We would like him to keep in touch with the friends he has made at school, whether he returns to [SchoolName] or not, so this letter is to invite you to keep in touch.
Here is how to reach Justin:

Justin would love to see if you can get together to play some time. Mom's at home during the day, and available to pick up/drop off any friends that wish to come to our house.
We hope to hear from you!
