Join Trusted Organizations
Join FHE
Families For Home Education
The oldest and largest statewide home school organization in Missouri, has been serving Missouri home educators since 1983. FHE is comprised of members – you, not just a board and staff. The purpose of FHE is to protect the inalienable right of the parents of Missouri to teach their own children without state regulation and control.
Speak with an FHE Director to get customized instructions on YOUR unenrollment process.
Withdrawal Letter
FHE Sample Letter
If your child has been attending a public school, it is important that you explain your child’s absence to school authorities so they don’t consider your child truant. We have below a sample letter available for your reference. If you wish, you may also download the letter.
Please note that in 1990, the law was modified to require parents who wish to remove five and six-year-old children from a public school setting to do so in writing. This is merely a notification, not a request of permission or to be construed as a registration. Contact FHE for the correct letter for a 5-6 year old.
