Sample of Wording to Request Records from Your Child's Previous School

 

If you are new to homeschooling and are filing the R-4 it is a good idea to request your child's cumulative folder from the previous school. This is the wording that I use when requesting records for newly enrolled students in the BayShore School private ISP.

Put this on your school letterhead (if you have filed your own R-4)
