Wyoming Homeschool Requirements

Low Regulation

Wyoming's notification requirement is conditional: it applies only when withdrawing a child from public school enrollment, not to families who never enrolled (Wyo. Stat. §21-4-102(c), amended by HB46 effective July 1, 2025). Wyoming sets NO testing or minimum instructional days. The 180-day figure shown is a general recommendation only. Sources conflict on whether any notice is ever required: HSLDA says no, while the state DOE describes the conditional in-person step above; both are reflected here.
